Review: Great value for money & comfy - I bought a pair of these back in 2018, regular almost daily light use up until around a year ago when I began walking back & forth to work every weekday, averaging 12-14k steps a day, before the sole finally wore out. Easily my favourite pair of boots in decades & I'm a 6ft1" 18 stone guy so they've taken a lot of punishment, hill-walking, mosh-pit at festivals, they've seen a lot or action and always been comfortable, great fit & the waterproofing has proven reliable. Replacing them today & so glad I could find the same boot is still being made. There are some harder wearing or more waterproof boots but you'd have to pay substantially more, for an everyday boot these are incredible. Review: good quality at the price - The boots are good quality for the price ,they fit well and are very light , the soles are good and grip well on wet surfaces. These are my second pair of these boots , the first pair are still in use and after a year are still useable . I was going to try a more expensive brand but why take the chance when the originals have been so good . They have proven to be comfortable and well insulated, not too hot in the summer and warm in the winter . Edit... This is now the third pair of these boots , they replace the previous pair that have been in daily use . The boots are not waterproof but you have to consider the price you are paying . In winter, when the dog walks are muddy for most of the time ,I have a pair of expensive boots that are completely water tight and very sturdy but that performance comes at a price (£300) so it would be unfair to expect that degree of performance for a boot at this price . These boots are light and comfortable, they last about a year for me with daily use of about three miles over rough terrain . They look smart and do the job very well . The previous pairs have been UK size 10 , but this time I have gone for the wide fitting in size 9 . They fit well and are comfortable... you just have less colour choice . ## Features - Suede and mesh upper provides durability, breathability and comfort. - Dri-Tec waterproof, breathable membrane keeps feet dry. - Versatile lacing system provides a secure fit. - Removable Comfort compression molded moisture wicking EVA contoured insole delivers underfoot cushioning. - Compression molded EVA midsole absorbs impact reducing strain on the body. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B017Z4ZWPG | | Best Sellers Rank | 74,433 in Fashion ( See Top 100 in Fashion ) 180 in Men's Trekking & Hiking Footwear | | Boot Form Type | Hiking Boot | | Brand | HI-TEC | | Care instructions | Wipe Clean | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Colour | Brown Dark Chocolate Dark Taupe Burnt Orange 041 | | Country Of Origin | Switzerland | | Country of origin | Switzerland | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 5,364 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05013342089935 | | Heel Type | Flat | | Insole Material | Manmade | | Item Type Name | Hiking Boots | | Item Weight | 1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Hi-Tec | | Material composition | Synthetic | | Model Name | Storm Waterproof | | Model number | 5812041 | | Occasion | hiking | | Outer Material Type | Leather | | Pattern | Solid | | Seasons | Autumn/Winter | | Shaft Circumference | 1 Centimetres | | Shaft Height | Ankle | | Shaft height | Ankle | | Shoe Height Map | Ankle-High | | Sole Material | Synthetic | | Sole material | Synthetic | | Style Name | High Rise Hiking | | Toe Style | Round Toe | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | lining-description | Unlined | | material-type | Leather | ## Images ![HI-TEC Mens Storm Waterproof Boots - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pMZYa1NoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: boots split after three mouths** A: My boots split after playing tug of war with them.

I bought this 'newer model' in November without realising that they were a 'variant' of the model I had previously tried, and it appears that improvements have been made since my initial experience. So having bought this newer pair, I have now covered nearly 900km (according to my Garmin device records) on varying terrain and surfaces, including a month walking over North Harris & Lewis. So that's 875km in 5 months. Again, they fitted me well and to date remain comfortable & waterproof, while the soles remain grippy and hard wearing. Recently, I have noticed signs of the sole starting to separate from the uppers ** slightly ** , and in the same location as the previous pair. However this is not nearly as bad as the earlier model, especially given the additional hard milage I have put on this pair. I bought this newer pair on special offer at just under £40 and for that money I have no complaints this time around. In fact, I've just bought a second pair which says everything? So a thumbs up and a solid 4 stars this time round. 👍 ### Update 2 ### Finally found out where the water is coming in and it's the same on both boots - the sole is coming away from the uppers on the outside at the front of each boot. VERY disappointed after less than 2 months and around 250-300 km. They are really comfortable boots which makes it all the more galling. Rating amended accordingly & will contact supplier &/or HiTec to see what their view is. ## Update ## Over a month later at an average of 10km/day and I can say these are just as comfortable and wearing well EXCEPT they are NOT waterproof. At best I would describe them as water resistant but it doesn't take much for your feet to get soaked. Other than that they are no less comfortable to walk in but less than 10 minutes on short wet grass is all it takes. Frustrating because other than that they are holding up well. # Original review # They fit me well and I have plenty of toe room. So far, they are confortable and appear to be waterproof as claimed. For the money I have no complaints whatsoever and am considering getting a second pair. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/49273534-hi-tec-mens-storm-waterproof-boots](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/49273534-hi-tec-mens-storm-waterproof-boots) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-11-05*
