Best American Made Hiking Boots
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 Apache Rugged Boot - Men'sThe Chippewa Apache Boot (model 20080) is a hidden gem. For such a high quality American made boot it's surprising that it often sells for well less than $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.
