ManfenWomen's Hiking Boots Lightweight Waterproof Hunting Boots, Ankle Support

I first ordered a 9.5 but my toes were at the very end of the shoe. I wear a 9 in most shoes but have a narrow boot so I expected the medium width to be a little loose, the width on the 9 was snug but when I reordered a 10, the fit was nearly perfect. Just right at the toes, the arch support was good which is unusual for me because I have a high arch. The boots feel great and give me good ankle support as well. This is my First initial reaction just out of the box and wearing for first time. I’m planning a short 5’ hike down a canyon and 5’ miles back to try them out. There’s a cold pond at the bottom of the canyon that is fed by an underground water source and water fall so I will slip in my leather led like shoes for jumping in to cool off since it’s around 5pm deep but ever so refreshing. I’d go barefoot if it were not for the semi sharp rocks at the bottom of the pond. We usually do that hike to warm us up to longer treks. We pack a lite lunch with ice water and dry off on the very nice smooth rocks there. I can’t wait to try these new hiking boots out. Right now, they are comfortable. The other pair I had started a return on but if my daughter-in-law likes them, I will give them to her for our family hiking trips. These are well made, the traction control soles are so far, well designed. I’m anxious to see if they hold up hiking through rocks down somewhat steep trails. I’m sure they will.

I got these boots as my first pair of real adventure boots since my cowboy boots weren't exactly trail and terrain friendly because I had no support on my ankles. This pair of boots had great reviews and a good price so I decided to try them out. I saw the note that said order 1/2 size up and I did. At first, I was thinking I would have to exchange for an even bigger size because they were quite snug. However, after spending a few days wearing them and breaking them in, I am super happy! They aren't so stiff now and they fit so well to my foot. I took them on the first small hike today, and there is incredible ankle support and the traction on the slick creek bed was awesome. I will update this if I get anything negative to say, but as of now, I am impressed with the quality and great feel of these boots.

I am not really a hiker but my best friend and I just went to Argentina and decided to go to Patagonia to hike a glacier. It sounded so magical that we couldn't pass it up but, truth be told, I was nervous because I had to buy everything I needed for the hike which cut into my travel budget. After looking around at several sporting websites and seeing that all the hiking boots were well over $100 I decided to look on Amazon and because of the reviews decided to try these boots. I am between a 5 1/2 and the six so I started with a 6 1/2 which were definitely too small. I exhanged them for a size 7 and the first time I put them on I thought I was having a past life memory of the mafia fitting me with cement shoes. Omg, they felt so hard and heavy! I was thinking I would need to return them and go ahead and splurge on and expensive pair but decided to wait until I went to the REI garage sale that my friend told me about (if you are not familiar with that it might be worth looking up). The day of the garage sale I brought my boots to the store because I heard they had a rock wall you could climb on to see how your shoes fit. It's more of a hump than a wall but it was very helpful and a couple people at the store commented on what great boots I had. For some reason, they felt more comfortable so I decided just to keep them. I got a pair of silk socks to wear underneath my hiking socks because my friend said that was supposed to help prevent blisters. I did not wear them for more than a few minutes prior to going on my hikes in Argentina, one was on a glacier where I had to wear crampons and the other was a rocky trail. These boots were amazing! I wore them for the entire day, both hiking and afterwards when we went into town to get a bite to eat. Not only did I not get blisters but I felt very safe and secure on both hikes. Obviously, the glacier was damp and there were times when we walked through puddles. My feet were not submerged underwater per se but they definitely got wet. Well, I should say my shoes got wet and my feet stayed dry ;). The other hike had some precarious rocks and dirt and I felt like I had a secure grip on the ground as well as having my ankles protected from anything that made me a little wobbly. As far as hiking boots go (I'm more of a Louboutin girl) I would consider these to be attractive. I am amazed they are so inexpensive and would absolutely recommend them to anyone. The souls were still a little hard so it might be worth taking them to a shoemaker to have some sort of cushion/gel insole put in but, despite that, I still found them to be very comfortable. A great investment that saved enough space in my budget for a fantastic dinner ;)

I only gave 5 stars bc there were no half sizes. I wear a 8.5 and went with 8. They are a little snug but I'm sure will stretch with time. They are very thick and hot. If ur feet sweat they definitely will with these but they are comfortable have plenty of grip for muddy areas and seem well built. Well worth the money.

This is the second time I am purchasing this wonderful shoe. It has a unique cushion insole that makes my walking days so comfortable. I love that it is black because that is my work uniform and I do a lot of hiking on the job. So far this shoe has not failed me. It lasted me two years while using them heavily for my job. I walk on a lot of uneven, terrain, and I am a park ranger who is out in the woods a lot. It is breathable, waterproof, and quite sturdy. I did however have to go half a size up. I am 8 1/2 wide, and I have purchased a size 9, and they are perfect with socks on. It does not take long to break into. Although tough at the beginning it is a shoe that definitely adapts to the form of your feet. I feel super secure with this hiking shoe. Love It!

It had ripped my first hike, I would say it is pretty comfy and sturdy when hitting rocks directly when walking but it did rip on the rides due to me walking uphill and creasing the shoes!

These things are awesome. Look at the tread!I've had a picture, in my head, of the perfect bootie/waterproof hiker, but, never have I found one of high quality I could afford. Then I found Xpeti.I love the fit, and can't wait to try them out.Word of warning, they run small. I usually wear a 8 to 8.5. I ordered a 9. Now, I need to exchange for 9.5. I hate waiting, but these little booties are going to be so worth the wait. Excellent purchase!!
