Product Information

If you have a larger foot, we recommend the Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid GTX and Altra Lone Peak ALL-WTHR Mid 2, available up to a women’s size 12. These boots got me through all those miles feeling comfortable, supported, and without a single blister (although this was also partly due to my intense anti-blister routine). Keens are famous for fitting wide feet, which I was initially concerned about because I have narrow feet. If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case. Outdoor Gear Lab cautions that the seams on the Keens could leak over time, but that “[they] survived our frequent walks through stream crossings, but our previous review of this boot did experience leaking in around the front seams.

Men's trekking shoes designed for backpacking; made with high quality Tuscan leather and with a thickness between 2. This can have its benefits for those that want a thicker pair for winter, especially when you add in all those waterproof elements.

Not all hiking boots are waterproof, but whether they are or not, getting them wet generally will not ruin them.The Kaha is made of full grain waterproof leather, which adds increased durability and stability while hiking.

Just be careful that the shape of the ankle on this GRITION Insulated Walking Boots doesn’t become uncomfortable. Gear Junkie adds, “They are solid all-around hikers for almost all conditions with an adaptable outsole and a new kind of Gore-Tex technology that keeps water out. Since 2017, we’ve considered over 200 pairs of boots, tested 55 pairs, and spoken with many experts about the most important qualities to look for. Although my ankle wiggles around a little, this has never caused me to lose my footing or roll my ankle.The GORE-TEX Performance Comfort lining allows regulating perspiration and serves as an impenetrable barrier for water and snow. This suggests that there is a lot more going on beneath the surface – a surface that also seems to have a nice grip, secure lace-up closure, and protection around the toe. Over months of hiking, they continued to feel sturdy through the various trail conditions, including groomed dirt trails, rocks, loose dirt, and incline/declines. Many hikers find that their feet will grow by at least ½ size during a hike, depending on the mileage and weather conditions (heat tends to exasperate this issue). For the most part, users seem to be impressed with the level of weatherproofing provided and say they can rely on these for longer walks.

The shock absorption and contoured foot bed make a noticeable difference in preventing sore feet, especially on longer treks. Our picks will likely work for you, regardless of whether you pronate (walk on the insides of your feet) or supinate (walk on the outsides of your feet), and all of the picks here should accommodate high or fallen arches. To find the best lightweight hiking boots for men and women, we started by compiling reviews from reputable media outlets and everyday users.

We could still sense the ground enough to navigate properly, but the many rocks we encountered didn’t cause sore toes. If a pair of boots is intended for rocky terrain, the design should have a rock shield in the sole, too. These boots have been one of our picks for seven years, and each time we test the Moab boots, we find them to be a good fit in all the ways that count.
