Hi-Tec Tracking Order Status

Over several years I bought three pairs of Hi-Tec women's walking shoes. They were light in weight and decent quality, so when the third pair wore out I bought another pair, slightly too big, and a smaller pair, but both comfortable for long walks. Unlike the earlier purchases these two pairs proved not to be waterproof, and this is walking through very shallow puddles, wet grass and on slightly muddy lanes. The main problem seems to be where the uppers join the sole, along the feather edge. Spraying with waterproof spray helps for a short while on the uppers, but the join of the soles and uppers continually lets in water. The two star rating is for the earlier shoes which were good, but I will not be purchasing any more Hi Tec shoes or boots.

Not great, cracking after 3months not much wear. Cheap for a reason.

Every pair of Hi tec shoes I've had, the laces only last about 3-4 weeks

I’ve had several pairs of Hitech boots: on the plus side they’re comfortable and reasonably priced. I walked two 100-mile long distance trails in a month with one pair and still had them in good condition thereafter. I purchased another equally well-fitting pair of Hitech and averaged five miles daily for a year after which they started to shed stitches. They may not live up to a totally waterproof assurance from the manufacturer, but in my experience neither do other brands of boots for three times the price. So for Hitech’s £45 and up, I’d buy again. A year’s tough reliable walking for that figure is good value.

I was looking for a robust walking shoe to be used every day, the Hi- Auckland lite walking shoe fitted the bill. Comfortable and smart in all respects, I was particularly pleased with the sole as I had been let down with the quality of other walking shoes, this sole is robust and hard wearing. Well recommened.
