Am relatively long distance hiker/backpacker Have tried lots of shoes. If you like Tor’s buy a pair of non goretex Speedgoats. They’re the best all around hiking shoe out there imo. Cushy, vibram megagrip outsole, fit is secure from toe to heel, the wide version is actually decently wide, dry quickly, last a relatively long time before the midsole compresses too much.

I’ve used them for hiking and backpacking in SoCal and the Sierra where the ground is very hard but also in the mud and they’re great.

My second favorite shoe is the Topo Terraventure 3 (we’re now on 4 but I’m yet to try them). Superb fit, megagrip sole, wide toe box, secure heel, last seemingly forever… not as much stack height as the Speedgoat though so I tend to use these for shorter hikes or where the ground is softer.

Have used both of these shoes on 50km+ days and they both hold up at that kind of mileage.
