Raichle Hurricane Gore-Tex® XCR® Hiking Shoes - Waterproof (For Women)

This shoe has a small but pain-causing defect in the attachment of one of the tongues. I wore it for an hour inside and had not only pain but a red mark. The company probably cannot exercise quality control of every potential problem but I think they should refund all postage for defects. To my mind, a sewing lump that makes a shoe painful is no less a fatal defect than a sweater with three sleeves.

These are comfortable and seem well made. I did not have to break them in. They are flexible enough for my taste, and I will get a lot of use out of them. I'm ok with the color, although I would prefer something a bit darker.

While I think the look of the shoe isn't the best, the comfort and feel make up for it. And the Gortex really works!! Just a great hiking shoe, very comfotable. I had to get a half size smaller than usual but otherwise it's perfect.

Good shoes,[...], no complaints here

I powered through trails with no problems whatsoever. These shoes are incredibly supportive and comfortable. I ordered a half size down from my normal sneaker size, and they fit perfectly with socks.

I love this hiker. I walk quite a bit and needed a shoe that had more support than just an athletic shoe. These are perfect. My foot is very narrow so I need to wear two pair of socks. That is the only con I have.

I am wearing them at a summer camp in Ireland and need the waterproof quality. I wore them shopping yesterday to break them in, but to my delight they did NOT need that at all. My feet were so comfortable I hated to take them off when I got home. Fabulous shoes.

They are great, comfortable, stylish,and great for hiking. Even I wasn't sure about the colors because I don't wear brown tones, the ones that I received are just two colors (grey/light blue). I'm so happy because I like the colors. They are the same shoes, the only different is that my's does't have the front band, but I think they look much better. I ordered the size as they suggested and they are perfect.

I got these shoes for doing outdoor research on rainy days in the mud. I found them to be super comfy and require no break-in. I haven't tested them in dounpours or in shallow streams but in light rain they were waterproof. Be ware of sizes! They are in UK sizing! I had to order two pairs to find the right fit for me. They are not as nice looking as I was hoping - they stand out in jeans or casual wear due to the light blue sides more than my old, sturdy all brown leather hikers do but for the price they are good.

These shoes were comfy right out of the box- no break in time necessary. I ordered my regular size and they are plenty big with light/mid-weight wool socks. Not sure about the waterproof qualities yet- will test them out in Oregon later this month.
