American Made Hikers: Top 9 Boots
for Hiking and Rugged Outdoors Work
The following are top quality boots made in the USA. However, everyone's feet are unique and each boot fits differently. The best boots won't do you much good if they don't fit your particular foot shape. I recommend trying on boots to find the proper size. With this in mind, I have chosen retailers with a stellar return policy, competitive pricing, and affordable or free expedited shipping.

Chippewa Classic Boot - Men'sThe Chippewa Classic Lace Up Boot is a hidden gem. itt's surprising to find such a high quality American made leather boot for around $200. This isn't your typical modern hiking boot, think of it as an ultra comfortable throwback to the hiking/work boot of the early 1900's outdoorsman. These Chippewa's come with supple leather, classy waxed laces, and beefy Vibram soles. Chippewa also makes an 8" upper version and models with different soles and steel toes for heavy lifting duties.
