Bottom Line

Lightweight, durable, and waterproof.

Pros

These hiking boots get high marks for their durability. Will last in all terrains. Rugged look makes them less of an everyday boot than the Targhee II, but these are a good choice for advanced hikers. Comfortable and well-made. Leather uppers and waterproof breathable mesh. Comes in two colors.

Cons

Size runs small, stitching may separate after extensive wear.

Bottom Line

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.

Cons

Not completely waterproof, laces may wear out quickly.
