About Ridgemont Monty Hi Hiking Boots
Ridgemont calls these their “ode to the classic light hikers of the 80’s” and they’re pretty on the mark with this assessment. If the kids from Stranger Things had to wear hiking boots, these would hit their wardrobe mark.
My Ridgemont Monty Hi Review
These boots were sent in a size 9 for my 13-year-old son. If you have a 13-year-old, then you know how picky they can be. Shockingly, he had no complaints.
I chose the brown/blue/orange color which seemed like the most versatile for my son’s wardrobe.
Overall Quality
There’s no doubt when you pick up these hiking boots that they are made with the best possible quality. They look and feel much more expensive than they are. I actually had to double-check the price after I opened them as they easily could sell for $150+ but alas you can buy them for under $100.
The quality of Ridgemont Monty Hi hiking boots is due in part to the “vulcanization” process used to build them. This is the beloved high heat chemical bonding process that seasoned skateboarders look for because of its durability.
Anyone landing bolts on lock knows the necessity of having vulcanized shoes.
Ridgemont leveled up the vulcanized shoe game by adding a harder “70 A rubber” and a 3mm thick foxing which improves the rigidity of their boots and allows for more feeling of the terrain beneath the feet. And this isn’t a fluffer gimmick.
