I’ve been wearing Hokas for the last year, and I love them, and they are super comfortable, but I’m not sure how durable the uppers are turning out to be, and I’m wondering if maybe I want some variety in terms of styling and what not. And if they were more durable, I would not complain. EDIT: I should have specified they are the Hoka Kaha boots, and I want another pair of boots, because I want the ankle support. FURTHER EDIT: preferably under $300 unless they are god-tier or something!

Check out Altra. I have been buying them for about 5 years now. Very comfortable for wider feet and are built well. I own their running shoes, hiking boots, and trail running shoes. They are sold at REI, but you can also buy them online. Highly recommended!

    I like several of these boots. They don’t have EE sizing, so it’s hard to be sure, but if you are saying they are roomy for wider feet, than I might give them a shot.

    If you have an REI near you it might be worth trying them on. Per their sizing chart page:

    Sizing

    We recommend ordering Altra running shoes ½ size larger than a dress shoe. We want you to have the best fit possible. That’s why we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. So if the fit isn’t just right, you can send it back for a different size. The Lone Peak, Torin, and Paradigm models are available in Wide, a 2E width (compared to our traditional D width).
