MuckBoots Adult Tack Classic Hi-Cut Boot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These boots are great - I wanted the extra height for some situations but if you don't need it, you can easily "cuff" them and they are shorter.When cuffed, the ventilation is better for hotter days.I have been in water nearly to the tops and nothing comes thru!

Irish Setter Men's 849 Wingshooter 6" Waterproof Lace-up Boot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Irish Setter 849 is a high quality, light, well made, waterproof and tough boot. It's perfect for serious outdoor work. The roomy moc toe is nice if you like just a little extra room for your toes. A soft cushion inner sole is great for long days on your feet. The boot fits true to size. It's a little pricy but less expensive than similar high quality boots from Browning or Danner.

New Balance Men's MT876 Trail Running Shoe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 876 has all the essential features a serious trail shoe needs: Rockstop, fast draining liner, solid toe protection without being too bulky, and great traction even in moving water over mossy rocks.

This is a good trail running shoe. I ran my first 80 mile ultra marathon 1 year ago. Since then I have used many different shoes or none at all. The 900 series was favorable with the 908 being the best, but later changes made it disappointing because of the addition of Gortex in the 910 which is useless in a serious trail shoe and the liner collapsing in the 909.

I have used this shoe almost a month and it is getting better with time. I only hope that no changes are made to this model, and this shoe is kept in production just the way it is. It fits my needs perfectly.

Crafted in lightweight mesh and synthetic leather, this lace-up features specialized cushioning to take the sting out of every footfall, absorbing shock and protecting feet from trail debris, in addition to a traction-hungry outsole for maximum grip.

Men's Merrell Phaser Peak Waterproof Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned two pairs of these boots and about to buy a third. I had to replace the first pair because the waterproofing stopped waterproofing after a couple of years this second pair is about the same. Other than that they have held up to moderate to heavy use and are one of the most comfortable boots once they are broke in. I'm buying my third as soon as I can a good deal.

Kayland Men's Zephyr Hiking Boot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While these boots are attractive, they are far from durable.While there are many glowing reviews to be found for these boots, most of the reviewers haven't put any serious miles in them.I took these out for a 5 day backpacking excursion in the Grand Canyon and by the second day, the outsole had already begun separating from my right foot.By the time I climbed out on the fifth day, I easily could have removed the outsole from the right boot with my hand, and the outsole on the left boot was also coming apart.It wasn't entirely surprising since the soles are only secured with glue.The corners cut to make these boots lightweight were also evident in the provided cushioning.Plan on sore feet if you spend any time walking over scree.If you spend most of your time walking on groomed trails, this may not be an issue.

Product Description:
Keep your cool in Kayland's Zephyr hiking boot. The durable boot features a unique cocona technology which uses the fibers of coconuts inside the boot's fabrics for pore structure to be the best (and most natural) moisture-absorbent shoe out there, a full-tractioned vibram outsole for rugged terrain, and a sturdy lace-up front for putting those padded linings in place, keeping you stable the whole journey through.

Men's Spira VOLARE RETRO Breathable Cushion Sneakers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These shoes are truly great. They effectively reduce impact forces and are easy on the knees. Walking is not only more pleasant, but also requires less effort. The springs do indeed absorb and release energy in a way that reduces the overall effort of walking or running. My wife walked in mine for 50 yds and immediately ordered a pair for herself. The shoes are so easy on my knees that I've taken up jogging again at the age of 56. My legs feel 10-20 years younger walking in these shoes. Don't take my word for it. This is definitely worth a $130 roll of the dice on your part.

You may want to order them a half size larger than normal as others have mentioned.Mine were a tad tight.

PUMA v1.08 i FG Cleats (Black/PUMA Red/White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have these in a 9.5 and overall its a good cleat. Its seems of good quality material, very light, good ball feel and nice and tight fit to your feet which gives you as powerful kick as you can have because there is not cushion zone. It does fit a little small im a normal 9.5 shoe size and these feel a little tight. The front of the shoe is plastic which when you kick with the front it hurts especially if the shoe is a little small on you. i only wore these once for 2 hours and i got blisters on my heels.

Asolo Stynger GTX Hiking Boot - Women's Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)THE most comfortable mid/light-weight hiking/backpacking boots by far! No break in time needed. I'm a 5' tall, female, had 37 pounds on her back and with the help of the Asolo Styngers, made the trip easy!

My entire foot was submerged (briefly) in mud/slushy water and the foot stayed dry (thanks to the Gore-Tex lining).
The boot has a nice grip on boulders and rocks.
Cannot stress enough on the comfort, no break in time needed of this boot.

Highly recommend!

The Asolo Styngers may not be the boot for you so I recommended you try on this (and other brands) before making your final decision since we all have unique feet.

Product Description:
Lace up the Asolo Stynger GTX Women's Backpacking Boots when you're covering long distances on the trail but don't want the weight or bulk of beefy boots. These sporty boots weight only 2lb 7oz (size 6.5), but pack in the heavy-duty features that make big hikes more comfortable. A Gore-Tex lining keeps your dogs nice and dry when you hit the trail after last night's rainstorm, and the Asolo Syncro sole provides excellent traction on muddy hillsides and slick rocks. The Stynger's lacing system locks your heel in place to eliminate lift and allows precision footwork on rough, steep trails that feel impossible in a big pair of waffle stompers.

Merrell Encore Trek Boot - Men's Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have purchased these for my trip to Russia. It wasn't as cold as many would think, but it kept my feet warm at -20C (-4F). No problem walking in the snow, definitely waterproof and snowproof.
The only possible issue that might occur over time is wearing out of the sheepskin lining, but it is inevitable with any type of shoes.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase - it was inexpensive compared to similar products, shipped fast and free.

KEEN Targhee ll Mid Hiking Shoe - Men's Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I first found these boots I was so pleased with the comfort and wider toe box.I had never tried on Keens before.I bought these boots, and I hike daily in the mountains near my home, and the cushioning and comfort were great.Unfortunately, within two months the darker rubber part of the soles began separating from the main sole, so I took them back.I do have two other pairs of Keens that I love, though it would be nice to have hiking boots with the comfort of Keens that would last.

GoLite Men's Tour Lite Travel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought I was getting a good deal around 50% off these shoes. Now I know why they are marked way down. When I first put them on they felt ok, I took a few steps forward and they were very stiff, and the creases or folding area as the shoe bends, digs sharply into the side of my foot. I thought ok, they need to be broken in--to no avail. Because I knew I couldn't return them at this point, I took a rubber mallet and pounded the ##@*# out of them. Guess what, that crease everytime I walked still dug into my foot. I wish there was a review of this shoe before I bought them, next time when an item is almost half off I'll think twice.

Average Reviews:

Garmont Men's Syncro GTX Hiking Boot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got these boots about 4 months ago.I went hiking in TN in the Snow.The boots allowed my feet to get a little cold, but I was wearing cotton socks instead of my wool ones, so I won't knock the boots here.What did annoy me was the insanely long laces.Tied into a standard bow, the loop and the ends of the laces still touch the ground.That's just crazy.Guess it's handy in a pinch if you need to pitch a make shift tentwith a tarp between two trees, but, for me, they had to be replaced.The rubber seems strong and grippy, but the pattern does cake mud (show me one that doesnt!)The rubber does not wrap around the toe box as evident in the pictures.Time will have to tell on how well they hold up in that area.They feel very supportive and not too hard on solid ground.I'm pretty happy with them.

Timberland Men's Euro Hiker Boot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been a fan of the Euro Hiker for many years. In fact they had been my choice of shoe for many travels throughout the world. Unfortunately recently Timberland has changed the design of the shoe....for the worse. The old pair I'm wearing right now have a bellows tongue which serves to keep scree, gravel, and such from easily getting into the boot. Timberland has recently decided to remove that feature so now hiking/walking down any lose packed trail will result in rocks in your shoes. Its a shame...the Euro Hike used to be an awesome boot.
