To me, hiking in anything but a pair of Norwegian Welt hikers seems wrong.

Maybe

And not sure about the Norwegian welt but I had pair of Vasque in HS, didn't really hike much but they were in style so......

They were the heaviest steel shank top of the line at the time that I got on clearance for a fraction of regular price.

Wore them for a couple of years, never did break in though my feet finally started to and never showed any wear

Plenty of the cool kids and my friends were amazed at them and the damage you could do and despite not being steel toe, they might as well have been, you could probably run over them with a car.
