DH likes to wear casual hiking type of boots on a daily basis during the fall/winter. He doesn't want them to look super rugged though, as he wears them to work as well. He has these now and likes them a lot. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BZ45OZA/. We should have bought a second pair right away, but didn't. Anyhow, he's a hard to find size of 6.5 men's. Anyone want to suggest something? He wants a brown similar to what he has - not light and not black. I really hate trying to find any shoes for him.

Do you check boys sizes too? Definitely, buy two pairs next time?
Have you checked Mercari or Poshmark?

I just got these for my DH and he was really surprised how much he likes them. They're a little dressier than the ones you linked, but still durable and water resistant.

Oops just saw they start at men's size 8. Sorry!

We usually do remember to order another 1 or 2 pairs, but this time we just forgot.Kris

Other than the size, they'd be great! He has ridiculous feet, really! I am so happy my kids all have bigger feet than he does. Originally Posted by PunkyBoo

If you did not make your purchase yet DSW has 20% off boots and then an extra 30% off. I just got a pair of Merrell hiking boots for my DH (in size 14) for $45.

https://www.zappos.com/p/skechers-ma...970/color/1232 More a shoe than a boot, but since he likes the fit of Skechers, these might be a good fit?

They start at size 7, but I find Merrell runs small.

7.5, but worth a try.
Nordstrom has them in 7. https://www.nordstromrack.com/s/n329...B&gclsrc=aw.dsLast edited by Kindra178; 11-30-2020 at 04:48 PM.
