A full-fledged hiking boot that keeps you dry and protected wherever you go.
Waterproof full-grain leather upper.
V-Lite design and construction.
ion-mask™ waterproofing technology uses an invisible polymer mask at a molecular level in order to repel oil, water, and most other liquids without changing the look, weight, or feel of the shoe.
Fully gusseted leather tongue.
Soft padded leather collar.
Moisture wicking textile lining.
Rustproof hardware.
Women's specific last for superior fit and performance.
Comfort-Tec contoured sockliner for all-day cushioning.
Stabila-Flex contoured bi-fit board provides support without excess weight.
Lightweight compression-molded EVA midsole.
Exclusive Vibram® hiking outsole for stability and traction on all types of surfaces.
ion-mask™:
The plasma bonding process enables polymers to infuse the shoes/boots on a molecular scale, so ever single fiber, even on open-weave fabrics, is given a water-repellent polymer.
Enhancing every fiber and layer (even the interior) eliminates the need for a waterproof membrane or "bootie construction", so the shoe/boot never loses any breathability.
The absence of an additional membrane also means less weight in the construction, and it will not gain any weight when used in wet conditions because of it's water-repellent properties.
The ion-mask™ process also keeps footwear cleaner longer by repelling dirt from the fibers and reducing staining.
Finally, the ion-mask™ is very eco-friendly: minimal quantities of chemicals are needed, unlike traditional DWR's or membranes, and the process is activated at room temperature, making it climate-friendly and energy-efficient.
16.00 oz.

Reviewer: Elizabeth B from San Francisco
Overall:5 stars   Comfort:5 stars   Look:5 stars

I was looking for a multifunctional, single piece boot that would work in every season. This boot not only fits the bill, but it proves that the most expensive hikers aren't necessarily the best. It's a solid boot with a terrific arch and is neither too narrow nor too wide. They work great on downward inclines; good support, toe box is just right (i.e., smaller than a Keen but wider than an Ecco boot) so no toe pain. On your first hike or two, I recommend starting out in a heavier weight hiking sock, but carry a thin pair in your pack. Switch the socks every two or three hours and you should be fine. I hiked ten miles right out of the box and had no problems. This winter, I plan on trying them out on the snowshoe trail. They seem light enough to avoid heel slippage, but we'll see. Overall: great, inexpensive boot that I'm not at all embarrassed to wear. While all my hiker friends with their expensive boots are complaining of hot spots four miles in, I'll be striding right past them in my humble Hi Tec boots.

We actually bought these for my son to use on his Boy Scout hikes. He right away used them to hike at Enchanted Rock State Park in Texas; no blisters were formed. They really don't need any "break-in" time, as they are quite comfortable. I liked them for him because of the stay-dry feature for when they are hiking in streams, etc. The shoes provide the needed support, but they are not constricting. I would highly recommend them.

Love the boots and the service was even better! I am on my feet all day in all kinds of conditions and so far my feet have stayed nice and dry and the boots needed no wear in time. I did have trouble getting the right size and had to return two pairs, but the third time was a charm. I called to request a different size late in the evening and the new pair was on my doorstep the following evening when I got home both times. Now that is what I call service! You rock, Zappos! If you wear Adidas, these will fit you well.

These boots are comfy. Little clunky, but I am not climbing Everest, so for me they are great. They felt good right out of the box, no break in really.

Reliable even for construction - I just bought this boots and have used them on a construction site. Regardless of all the mud, rain, and all other mistreatments, the boots are like new. Also, they are soooooo comfortable. I love them.
