Alico Tahoe Hiking Boots (For Women)

Bought these boots as protective and waterproof gardening footwear. They are awesome! So comfortable on the first wear - I was disappointed the gardening was finished and I had to take them off!

Love the look & feel but will not be able to keep them if they do not break in soon.

I bought these to use before the snow fell, but they did not come in time. I wore them on a short 3 mile hike in light snow and they were very slick on a packed trail. Better traction with loose snow. Will be great for spring and fall hiking. Comfortable right out of the box. I won't be sending these back!

I used this pair of boots for the first time on a 4 day mountaineering trip. I did not break it in and had no issues. My pack was probably 40 pounds. I went through creek and snow and had minimal/no water seepage. The only dampness was probably the snow that fell in from the tongue. I wear between a size 7 - 7 1/2. From the recommendations some say that I should get a 1/2 size bigger. I got an 8 and was too big so I swap it for 7 1/2. It is a little too big but it was OK as I was wearing thick wool socks. I recommended a pair to my friend and 2 of my hiking friends have Alico and love them.

True to size and width Slightly heavy, but manageable with some wear Solid high-quality construction that lasts

Beautiful leather and simple style. I can actually wear these to work when it snows (which it does a lot in the mountains of western North Carolina).

Great boot, minimal break in. Great ankle support and comfortable. I haven't done loads of wet weather with them, but some low level creek walking and rain/hail and I stayed dry.

Overall these boots are great and were comfortable straight away. The only problem is the tongue is stiff and digs into the shin when you walk down stairs. This may improve over time. Also, the sole seems slippery which could be an issue in the wet. I haven't tried it in the mud just on a slippery floor.

The sizing guide recommended ordering a half size up, which I did, but the boot was to big. [...]. I was disappointed that I had to return the boots because they were exactly what I had been looking for.

I will be using these boots for hiking. I haven't worn them out yet so I can not tell you how they are. I did go up a 1/2 size which now I find them perfect. My husband has a pair from last year. After trying so many boots that didn't fit, I decided to give these a try since my husband is very happy with his. I think I will be too!!
