Targhee II Waterproof Mid

Bottom Line

An affordable waterproof hiking boot for casual hikers.

Pros

Can be worn on the mountain or on the sidewalk. Comfortable for walking but will easily handle longer hikes. Versatility makes them a good choice for a beginner hiker. Leather uppers and waterproof breathable mesh. Comes in five colors.

Cons

Heel wears down quickly; some customers noted poor construction.

A comfortable hiking boot for all conditions.

Pros

Comfortable and fit for a variety of conditions. Charcoal bamboo insulation keeps feet warm, but the boots are still breathable. We love the combination of waterproof leather uppers and ventilation. Comes in two colors.

Cons

Thick insulation can cause feet to slip in boot, and these may be too warm for summer hiking. Size runs small.

Flexible, steel-toed workboot for any job or terrain.

Pros

Durable, water-resistant leather and a slip-resistant rubber sole. Good combination of comfort and safety, built to last. Six-inch boot comes in two colors.

Not completely waterproof, and laces may wear out quickly.
