Northwest Territory Hiking Boot

These are the worst boots I have had in 50 years of hiking. The rubber soles fell of of both boots during a 6-day backpacking trip in the Utah canyon country. They were only occasionally wet, and there is no excuse for this failure.

Needless to say, it is almost life threatening to have only camp shoes for backpacking out of a wilderness.

My rating is 0 stars.

The glue between the rubber soles and thin rubber-like base that glues to the leather failed totally.

I bought these boots about 20 years ago or more. I belonged to a hiking club and went every week. They are a man's boot and I am a female, but thought I would have more choice. It is a unisex looking boot. They are still in perfect condition. Now I hike with the boy scout troop my son is in.

There is no more information I can say.

Basic boots, don't bother!

Look great in the pics, seem to be made to a fare standard, however and it's a big however for me, 

They are none supportive in any way—leather is too soft, sole is too thin so you feel the smallest of gravel/stones underneath your feet.

If you were to go over on your ankle whilst walking, they offer no support, just far too flimsy.

I use these for gardening only. After 3 wears they just weren't up to the task.

I bought a decent pair, more than twice the price, but far far superior and still wear them regularly two years down the line.

It's taken me this long to find where I could leave a review.

Best boots I've ever owned. Kept my feet warm and dry in Alaska, Minnesota, and now Oregon!

Wish I could find another pair like I have right now.

Absolutely the BEST boots I've ever owned!

Advertised as waterproof, they leak in through the soles! Used them only for a little over a month, the soles cracked, waste of money even at a cheap price.

Besides soles cracking after a month's usage, the inner lining began to come apart too. 

Boot is not too comfortable initially, stiff rubber sole, perhaps why they cracked.

Great for hiking in any kind of weather. Highly recommend this product.

I bought this product at Kmart in 1998 for $30. The boots have kept my feet warm and dry in even sub-freezing temps. Very good traction too, and the sole has hardly worn in 15 years of wear.

After just a winter, the heel has a hole where it's attached to the boot. I've had this boot before and it wore very well. A disappointment.

Heel has a hole where it's attached to the leather, not waterproof anymore.

Bought a pair of these in Dec. 09 and i have had soreness to heel and ankle area due to poor design of inner sock. i.e. the seam runs around the ankle and down the back of the heel. The boots are a strong lightweight construction with a good non slip sole and will last a long time, but i think comfort must come first when walking / hiking. Have a pair of HI TEC boots which are also waterproof and you don't realise you have them on, they are that comfortable.

I had bought this product. Very unhappy. Only one or two months the bottom has blown out. Not all the way broke in. Don't waste your money

Don't waste your money.

I bought a pair of Northwest Territory hiking boots way back in 1994 from K-mart and have worn them just about EVERY DAY since. I love them. They have held together great.

Only yesterday October 2009 did one of the shoelace eyelets break off. I wish that I could find another pair just like them.
