These hiking boots have seen many different climates and terrains, and I've been happy with their performance in all of them. Ice-crusted trails, rocky ledges, paths covered with two feet of fresh powder? This boot has your back.

Sizing: I generally wear a 7.5 in shoes, but purchased an 8(B) in these boots to allow for a slightly relaxed fit and room for thick wool socks.

Pros:
- TRUE ALL WEATHER HIKING BOOTS. If you want to be cackling away as your feet remain dry and warm, while your husband's "waterproof" boots soak through in the snow or rain, get these boots.
- Great materials and craftsmanship gives boots a long life span. They become merely weathered with wear, not destroyed.
- Fit is incredible- holy hell are these comfortable. When I take them off after a full day of hiking, my feet feel great.
- Sole has weight to it, which helps you steady yourself on rocky trails.

Cons
- Look is somewhat boring, but this is a nonissue. I jazzed mine up with a pair of red laces.
- Bulky, which makes them somewhat difficult to pack. They take up almost half of my carryon suitcase, so I usually end up wearing them on the plane. They're a heavy shoe, which is good for hiking, but not ideal for traveling.
