What are your favorite all around hiking boots?

Merrells- the quick tie ones - even work great wet

Don't really have any straight up hiking boots, but when I'm doing a lot of walking while hunting I wear Under Armour Speed Freeks.

Only keen for me

I pretty much just go with trail runners or trail shoes (merrell, new balance, etc..) unless I'm backpacking or doing some crazy terrain in which case I wear my Merrell Wilderness.

I'm insanely hard on shoes for some reason (maybe my size 13 foot, but I broke down a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers to need total resoles in q little over a year). Any molded sole boot tends to come apart and delaminates on me. My Merrell Wilderness just keep trucking.

Asolo are awesome. I have two pair depending on if I'm going to be hiking in the wet or not.

For wet hikes:

All leather

For dry hikes:

Mesh top

They're pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

I wear Lowa Renegades. Have owned Keens. Both are great. Sometimes I wear La Sportiva approach shoes.

Lots of good options, just depends on your feet. Asolo and Merrell make quality stuff they just don't fit me.

Okay so I have this narrowed down to the Salomon Hiking Boots below. They are the same boot, but I am wondering which color to get. Thoughts?

I have done a ton of trails in nothing but new balances (from their most expensive to their cheapest model). Actually just finished a short jaunt in negro bill canyon, which involves sand, slickrock, stream crossing, and slight scrambling.

Honestly, I like tennis/running shoes because that's what I am familiar with while doing anything athletic. I will probably purchase something a little more rugged before we head up to Alaska, though
