The Hi-Tec Altitude is the number one ranked light hiking boot in the world...and now, it's also one of the greenest.

Earlier this month Hi-Tec rolled out an eco-friendly version of their popular flagship boot and creatively named it the Altitude Enviro. Check out the specs, via The Fun Times Guide to Living Green:

  • Waterproof vegetan full-grain leather upper uses less chemicals for the tanning process & water based cements
  • Soft padded leather collar
  • Fully gusseted action leather tongue
  • Comfort-Tec contoured sockliner
  • Lightweight injection-molded EVA midsole
  • 95% recycled uppers
  • 90% recycled metal steel shank for support
  • 90% recycled eyelets
  • 50% recycled insole top
  • 50% post-consumer recycled nylon lining
  • 15% recycled rubber hiking outsole
  • 15% recycled insole cushioning

Jump on over to The Fun Times Guide to Living Green post for a chance to win a pair and to check out their full review of the boots (which is the result of a year-long testing process).
