As the weather starts to warm, I am thinking of going hiking. However, I do not have any boots. I was wondering if any of you could recommend some to me?

I have a Merrell(mid-cut) and Scarpa(hi-cut) hiking boots both sporting a leather/gore-tex uppers, vibram soles and PU mid-soles. My boots serves and performs well.
Gore-tex offers breathability and preventing water from entering making it waterproof, so its good for trailing for hours letting your feet breath and keep it dry when it rains, cross through muds or do some river crossings.
Get a mid or hi cut, it'll protect your ankles. Also consider the comfortability of the boot on your foots, you wouldn't want an achy foot on the middle of your hike. breaking in your new boots is also good before you hit the trails.
Recommendation depends on how much you are willing to spend for a hiking boot. Theres a wide variety to choose from.
