I came across this topic whilst browsing and felt compelled to add some thoughts.
For many years I've had to use a hospital made orthotic, I've very high arches, hypermobile toes and floppy ankles. To keep me yomping my ankles are braced, so the need so very high ankle boots isn't a necessity. Ive not got wide feet but I do need high volume or wide fit to accommodate feet, orthotics, and and supports.
My favourite brand for many years has been Trezeta, the Evo and Pamir boots in particular have served me well from autumn to late spring in the mountains using kahtoola crampons when required.
For summer I talked myself into Hoka sky kaha. A waste of hard earned money imho, durability was the issue, a similar issue with most fabric and leather footwear on tough terrain, off trail Heather bashing, and woodland terrain they're rubbish with a high price tag.
I decided to try Iturri, I purchased a new pair of their desert high liability boots for summer walking off ebay brand new 11 Wide for £50 and they've been awesome, I carry a pair of DexShell socks incase of downpours, these boots are tough, and I've found them extremely comfortable, I'm not a believer in thick socks two pairs of bridgedale liners has always prevented blisters and hot spots even in my distant running days.
I purchased the MTP Patrol, and the leather insulated gtx high liability boots new at a rediculous price, the MTP have become a go to 3 season boot, super comfy and cope easily with everything I've thrown at them this year from extended tours of the Carneddau to long lake district and north Yorkshire dales trips they've been excellent at a fraction of the cost of trezeta, Altberg, and dreaded hoka. The hi liability boots reminding me of my old Scarpa manta boots in weight and compliance, awaiting cooler weather for more detailed feedback, but in the wet and mud of the private woodland I spend much time, bivvying and nature watching, they've done a fabulous job and dealt with the terrain with flying colours.
The outdoor Market is saturated with brands, claiming this that and the other, I've spent my children's inheritance and more over the years on GAS gear acquisition syndrome 😂 only to go back to more traditional clothing and footwear that has longevity, is repairable, and works for me.
Paramo, buffalo systems for winter, single skin ventile with double layer shoulders for summer rain, and now Iturry military spec boots. I'd gladly buy another pair of trezeta Evo Top boots if the price was right, but until they are I'll stick with my new Spanish footwear companions.
