Put these to the test on a soaked ridge hike and my feet stayed completely dry. They’re the best hiking boots for rough trails I’ve used yet.

Solid traction and breathable feel. I’ve gone from trail walks to full-day hikes in these and they haven’t missed a beat.

Great value for waterproof boots — they look sharp and handle wet, muddy conditions like champs. Highly recommend!
