I’m in the market for a good pair of hiking boots, saw no posts about it, so I thought, might as well!

Any good recommendations?

I must say that I’m also rather unfamiliar with what makes a good pair of hiking boots so I’d be grateful if you’d share why they’re good.

    If non Canadian is an option look for European brands like Lowa, Mammut, Salewa or Geox. All good quality companies!

      Good shout. I do know Lowa are, or at least some models(?), made in central Europe. I did like some design from them but it was seemingly impossible to find in lower mainland BC to try back then.

        No sporting life over there? Lowa I would think it’s pretty much available where hiking boots are sold. But maybe I am mistaking. Edit: check their homepage. They have a store locator I see.

          They did open one during COVID actually IIRC, we went there at the time since everything was always empty but the choice of products (at the time) was poor. No idea what it’s like now, it’s kinda out of the way of any route we take to get anywhere so generally not worth a stop.
