About Hi-Tec
Hi-Tec comes from the coastal town of Shoeburyness, England, where Frank van Wezel founded the brand in 1974. Sportswear is also part of the range, but footwear leads the way: international recognition built on hiking boots and trail shoes made to cover the miles. In 1978, Hi-Tec Sports USA opened its doors in Modesto and introduced what the brand called the first lightweight hiking boot — a breakthrough that grew into the heart of the collection. Less weight, more momentum. Hi-Tec also made its mark with the rugged Magnum, a boot that can take a hit and belongs off-road. The foundations remained in place as the company later established its headquarters in the Netherlands: practical engineering focused on comfort and terrain. If you’re looking for a pair that keeps pace instead of holding you back, this is your place. At Solezilla, you can compare the Hi-Tec options and easily pick the version that suits your terrain and budget.
