Excellent shoes - worth the price

Bought a tan pair of these a few years ago, and they’re still going. I like that they’re solidly built, but not heavy. People think they look unique and ask me where I got them. I do a lot of walking in them and they’re a long way from wearing out.

Pros
  • Classic design that never goes out of style
Cons
  • High maintenance required

Great Lightweight Hikers or Everyday

Perfect on sizing. True to size. Nice and lightweight. They look good and I am already getting compliments wearing them. These are almost an everyday shoe for me, work and play.

Pros
  • I bought these as work boots. They are very comfortable and look god.. They do not look like boots
Cons
  • Tight toe box

Most Comfortable Light Hiker I've Ever Worn

Keep in mind, this is a light hiker, kinda like a cross between a tennis shoe and trail runners. Super comfortable and something you can wear all day. Not water proof but nice and light. Go great with jeans or cargos.

Pros
  • These shoes are very attractive, my husband loves them
Cons
  • Fit too narrow

A lot wider than expected

I really liked the looks and the weight of these hiking boots. A lot of the reviews said that these ran narrow in width, which is exactly what I wanted, as I have a B/C width foot. Even with a very thick pair of socks, these were still way too wide. The boots showed to be a "D" width but felt more like an "E/EE" width.

Pros
  • Hiking Boots
Cons
  • Difficult to clean

Great quality and confort

After 10 months of use, the shoes are looosibg support, not very heavy use, still confortable, but the shoes base is destroyed. Might need to order a new pair with extra set or basea

Pros
  • Comes in various colors and sizes, suitable for all preferences and needs
Cons
  • Susceptible to soil and mud

Very comfortable, not very durable.

These boots are very comfortable. They did not require any breaking in, no rubbing, no hot spots, they absorb impact. These boots have great grip on gravel, rocks, and sand, in both wet and dry conditions. They help keep your feet dry. They are not warm and are actually very good to run in. They have decent ankle support, though they do tend to squeeze a bit on the sides of the ankles. Now the reason I only gave these boots three stars is because they wear out rather quickly. Mind you I wear…

Pros
  • Highly affordable compared to other hiking boots on the market
Cons
  • Minimal sole grip

Military-folks these boots are a must!

Okay ladies and gentlemen I have to be honest wasn’t expecting a lot from this product. As a former military man by far these are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned. YOU Must give them the go ahead!

Pros
  • If you have a narrow foot they're not for you.
Cons
  • Poor breathability

Comfortable: my feedback

I wore them for a week hiking up in Creede, CO and they were great, very comfortable and gripped the terrain very well. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Excelente bota debidamente recomendada
Cons
  • Difficult to break in

NOT too good to be true

For the price, I assumed these would be a temporary measure, since quality hiking boots usually range in the hundreds, dollar-wise. I stand EXTREMELY corrected; these bad boys withstood five straight weeks hiking, climbing and mucking their way through some of Colorado's most unforgiving terrain and elements without so much as a tear in the fabrics (which are very supportive, well put together, and comfortable) or any breaks in the sole. The laces can loosen up a little; but if you double-knot…

Pros
  • Ideal for any skill level, whether a beginner or experienced hiker
Cons
  • No removable insole for customization

Watch Your Size on my review.

I just received these boots and they are just as listed. Prefect description match but size is too small. I ordered US 9.5 but fit more like an US 8.5. Will be returning them and ordering a size bigger.

Pros
  • I use these for work and casual wear
Cons
  • Prone to blisters
