Where to Buy Hiking Boots
Good quality, not outrageously expensive, ankle protection, at least water resistant, rubber soled... that kind of stuff.
TIA and cheers.

Hi-Tec brands don't work that well, IMHO. We help to run a few volunteer organisations, and most that come along with Hi-Tec lose them within a few days.
SE - go back to basics and understand what you need - if it's just for walking around SIN then Timberland will be fine. Want to come and help one of my deaf schools in Vietnam or Tibet - then set your sights a little higher. So to Speak!
HTH, P

Shopping Results
Yah... lots of shops in Queensway sell shoes... only about 10 sell hiking boots... only about 6 might have what you want.
Columbia - nice shoe, too narrow.
Hi Tec - as with past experience, not my shoe... just not comfortable, much harder inner sole than others.
Timberland - nice boot... but the ones I might be interested in are S$300 and up.
Salomon and several others - generally too narrow, cheesy construction.
Ended up with a Treksta... Korean made... very well made... GoreTex waterproof... many aspects of this boot put it well in front of others... not to mention, very comfortable on my foot (and to parenthetically mention... f*ck off all you shoe salesmen who say, "it will stretch").
Treksta is expensive... but got a very good deal at one shop where they had only one pair left... my size.

Hiking Boots
I bought my boots from a hiking store on Stamford Rd., between New Bridge and Victoria. Just down from Raffles City and across the street. Good Selection and Okay prices. There are also a lot of boot stores in Peninsula Plaza. I use them for motorcycling also.
There is a Timberland outlet store @ tampines mall (if u dont mind travelling all the way there)
There is also a shop @ Harbourfront centre that specialises in hiking boots.....near the escalator....not sure the shop name.....i think its called "outdoors" #01-93
Hope this helps.
