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.
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.

Reviewer: Tracey M from Corvallis, OR
Overall:5 stars   Comfort:5 stars   Look:5 stars

I LOVE these boots- between bunions and foot growth due to pregnancies, my boot situation was miserable. I have been finding that men\'s shoes work well for my feet, and these boots are no exception. After one short hike near town, I took them to the Olympic Peninsula for trekking around rainforests and beaches- dry, comfortable feet!! Love it! Plenty of wiggle room for my toes, yet enough support to not allow for blisters. Even ended up trail running a couple of miles in them. Best buy ever!

I have worn these boots every day at work for about a month now and couldn't be happier with them. They did not need any breaking in and feel like I'm wearing a stout pair of sneakers. They fit to size, have nice room in the toe box, and are very well padded. They seem to be well built and I think they look great too. It will be interesting to see how well they keep the water out with Hi-Tec's new waterproofing system. I had first bought a pair of Ugg Hardy boots that really hurt around my ankle. They were hardly padded around the collar and eyelets. They looked good but what good does that do if you can't stand weaing them. There's a reason Zappos is doing so well in business and that's because of their excellent service. Buying shoes/boots without being able to try them on in a store is difficult at best but Zappos makes it easy with their no question return policy. They also pay both ways for shipping, which is very fast. You just can't go wrong with them.

Reviewer: Rob from Hammond, IN

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support

Like a Gore Tex boot - Better than Gore Tex, very light, good traction on smooth surface. I work in a carwash/detail shop, so traction is important as well as waterproof. A little tight around the ankles, my feet sweat a lot. It would have been nice to know that these are lightly insulated. Had these boots 2 weeks and with winter coming, I'll put them to the full test. Overall, very nice, Ion Mask is working well, easy to clean with a moist rag. And Zappos shipped these out in 1 day, a most trusted site for doing orders, very fast.
