Can I hike in Blundstones?

Blundstones are okay for casual hikes on flat ground, but they're not ideal for strenuous hiking on steep, rocky terrain. They also don't have laces, so they don't provide much ankle support as you trek through the mountains. Plus, Blundstones aren't very breathable, so your feet might get a bit sweaty as you hike.
