Zamberlan Java Gore-Tex® XCR® Hiking Shoes - Waterproof (For Women)

I wear this to work as well as casual activity and sports in summer, perfect for me.

I take my dog walking everyday and these boots are great for New England winters!

I have tried every shoe, it seems! Salomon, Merrell, Nike, J-41, etc., but this is it. This is the perfect shoe for hiking in the mountains. Perfect weight, nice sized toe box (no blisters), and super supportive and durable. I don't know how you get all of this without any "break-in" period! Love them!

It's hard for me to find hiking boots that offer great protection with a good fit. I normally wear an 8.5 but ordered an 8 because I was told that they run about a 1/2 size large and it's true for me. These did the job; they protect my feet even on the rockiest terrain. There was a pressure point on my left small toe that made it so sore that I almost returned these boots. Out of desperation (because I am so hard to fit and everything else including the width was perfect,) I decided to keep them and try to work through it. I am soo glad that I did! It took about a month and a half but now they are perfect! (Thus the 4 star rating.) I wore them on my first short (about 2 hours) rocky hike yesterday and experienced no pain whatsoever. They protected my feet so well that I felt nothing beneath them. My ankles were a bit unstable but it's been a while since I hiked so I think that it was more that than the boots. I'm so happy that I found this brand of boots because after many years of trying various brands, these fit my feet the best. Breaking them in was definitely worth it for me. I'm an avid cyclist so I use them for that too particularly on frigid days and they keep my feet warm and cozy without being sweaty afterward. I really love that they are waterproof but breathable too. If you buy these boots and find a hot spot or two, I recommend giving yourself the opportunity to break them in. I'm confident that it will be well worth it!

I just got these for day hiking and they are very comfortable. They look durable and the price was great.
