Whether you’re roaming through redwood forests or up rocky mountain terrain, you’ll need dependable hiking shoes that are up for the adventure. Without proper footwear, you run the risk of dealing with blisters and tired, aching feet by the end of the day — or even potentially injuring yourself.
These customer-loved hiking shoes have a mid-top fit that reaches above the ankle, sturdy rubber soles, and a classic lace-up design. They’re made with artificial leather that can withstand wet, muddy trails and rainy weather, and some styles include an inner faux fur lining for added warmth. Despite their sturdiness, the boots are less than two pounds — so they won’t weigh you down — and their rubber soles have plenty of traction to prevent slipping.

Others say they’ve worn them for hikes in Yosemite, weekend camping trips, and dog walking. They note that the all-weather boots keep their feet comfortable and dry, even on 16-mile hikes.
“Wow, I very rarely luck out with shoes, but I’m sold on these hiking boots,” another wrote. “On my first time wearing them, I went to Sedona, where I rope climbed up a steep rock, hopped through streams, and hiked up a few rocky mountains. My goodness, I didn’t get a blister, wet feet, sore toes, or anything! I’m super stoked that these are so comfy for an awesome price, so I made my man buy a pair, too.”
