Hey all. I'm looking for a new pair of backpacking boots. I bought my Salomon LTR GTXs new in 2016, and have worn them dang near every day since. They've held up spectacularly even though I didn't even take great care of them. They're starting to wear real low on tread and I'd like to look for a new pair. They don't make these anymore and I've TRIED to find an old stock set. These shoes are very well balanced. They aren't ultralight (not a priority) but they are breathable and comfortable. I like the GoreTex, and love how they feel. I will be using them for hiking, but also for work. Top priority is quality, I want the new pair to last just as long as these! My only other priority is that the toe box is starting to be a little narrow for me. So maybe something with a wide toe or that comes in Wide sizes. All advice or recs are welcome. Thanks in advance. I plan to wear these as long as I physically can, but want to have a pair in the wings.
