GRITION Walking Boots Men Waterproof, Lightweight Men’s Suede Hiking Boots Lace Up Non Slip Sport Backpacking Trekking Ankle High Shoes Outdoor Winter Grey Orange

Product Information

With the shoes running large, I was concerned that I should have sized down and was hesitant to take them hiking for the risk of my foot slipping around inside causing blisters.

In addition to the Nuumu Poyo and Mt Whitney, I've also taken these boots on peaks throughout Southern California and Zion National Park. I never got rub spots or discomfort on rugged trails with loose dirt, uneven sections, rocks, and dips. The Zamberlan® Vibram® 3D outsole allows excellent traction and control and is also equipped with undercut heel that helps braking during descents. For 2023, they’re the only lightweight hiking boot we tested where the weight stayed the same—every other boot model got heavier.

A big perk of the Merrells over other hiking boots is that they are available in the widest variety of materials and sizes of any of the boots we considered. Our testers have crossed glaciers, braved steep trails, and climbed rocky terrain, and they’ve waded through streams, navigated late-spring snow, and slopped through knee-deep mud. You’ll inevitably encounter mud and water on the trail at some point, and hiking boots are made to be outside in it all.

The 2023 model is just as lightweight as in previous years and this year, has an updated style that we like. These wide trekking boots are equipped with FLEX SYSTEM junction at the ankle to help toe off while hiking and with a rubber rand for better protection. And if you tend to stub your toes, you’ll also be grateful that the Contagrip rubber outsole extends to offer toe and heel protection.You don’t want your toes ramming the front of the boot, but you also don’t want so much room that your heel slips, creating a greater potential for blisters. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. In the previous model, our narrow-footed tester noted the width felt sloppy like their foot was floating around in the boot. Never Get Wet】: The Waterproof fabric lining and water resistant membrane in the softshell upper (Made with new craft) could keep your feet dry up to 4 hours (In a static environment not in rain).
