You say Hiking and you say Work.

Those are two totally different activities that in all reality require two different kinds of boots.

For a hiking boot I would want something light and super comfortable with good traction.

For work I would want something that is still comfortable, but also very durable and something that you could stay on you feet all day in.

For reference I own pairs of:

Carolina
Red Wing
Thourogood
Eastland
Keen


I have had a pair of Carolina Broad Toe Wedge boots and they have been the most comfortable and durable work boots I have ever owned. I wear them for steel inspections and duct inspections where I walk almost all day.

I've owned these Eastlands since 2016 and have used them as my cabin boots building this cabin and they are still holding up well. I like them because they are as light as a pair of basketball shoes and just as comfortable.
