Sometimes you never know what you are going to find. On a visit to the LL Bean Outlet Center last spring I came across a number of different hiking boots. Out of all of them, I sort of stumbled across LL Bean’s Leather and Fabric Gore-Tex Day Hikers. They looked to be a step up from your typical fabric hiking boots with significant portions of the boot being made from leather and with a stiff Vibram sole. I looked and they were my size, so I tried them on. I walked around, I jumped up and down and I went up and down the stairs several times. They still felt comfortable, actually more comfortable than the boots I was using at the time for hiking.Once I started hiking in them, I really was amazed. I hadn’t expected much but these boots have turned out to be a perfect mix of lightweight and heavyweight boots. They are great for pretty much any kind of day hike and even provide enough support and comfort for an overnight backpacking trip.
