Ozark Trail Ot Men's Putty W/p Hiker

Awesome boots, 100% waterproof, VERY rugged, and extremely comfortable. This is the second pair of these boots I've owned and I like them so much I might buy another pair immediately just in case they stop making them. Incredible value, and they are SUPER rugged. You will not be disappointed.

I have used the shoes for several years for work go through 2-3 pairs a year and they continue to get harder to find, and also are constantly made of cheaper components. The latest being the top quick connects are now made of cast material which breaks much quicker and render the shoes useless

This is my second pair of hiking boots from Wal-Mart and they fit just fine. I got a year from the first pair walking 40 minutes 5 times a week over a rocky and sometimes muddy path. The boot upper held up fine but the sole slit completley in two on one shoe and was cracked on the other. Still for the year they were a good hiking boot.

I originally went to Walmart for the Ozark Trail Peyton Boots because they're cheap ($25). They didn't have my size so I was looking around for another pair of boots to get, as it's winter and I was going away for the weekend in the mountains. I settled on the Putty II based on seeing them in person at the store. I like the fact that they have deep treads on the bottom for stability (deeper than the Peyton) and they look nicer, in my opinion. I wore them on a winter hike in the Catskills and they were great. My feet stayed warm and dry, even being in snow up to my knees at some points. These boots are waterproof and have an anti-microbial aspect to them, although I haven't been able to test that out yet (I've worn them for that 1 hike). Looking forward to wearing them on future hikes or just digging out my car when it snows. Great value too, only $30.

I've worn these boots (mine are Putty, not Putty II) as work shoes (in an office) consistently 4 days per week from fall 2006 til now, as well as being motorcycle boots. Only in the last couple months have holes appeared in the outer edges of the bend point in the shoe where the shoes bends at the ball of your foot. The tread has also mostly worn down to almost flat rubber. Considering I got 3+ years out of a $26 pair of boots, you can't get much more ROI than that. I would have bought a replacement pair of Putty IIs tonight except the Walmart I stopped at was out of size 12s.
