XPETI Hiking Boots Women Waterproof Lightweight Ankle Support Work Boot Black 8.5

Comfortable from the first wearing. Quality is poor-- I've had these boots for 2 months and already the rubber soles and edges are separating from the upper part of boot. I wrote the manufacturer, but they did not return my query. See pictures. Nice looking boot. At first, I thought the value for the money was great, but now they are falling apart after 2 months and I am disappointed. Somewhat water resistant but not like gotetexLiners

El material con que están fabricados son de una calidad excelente, son muy bonitos, impermeables, resistentes, antiderrapantes, calientitos y cómodos.Estoy encantada con mi compra, y el tiempo de entrega fue muy ágil, voy a comprar el mismo modelo en otros colores.

These boots are sturdy with a good grip, but that's not uncommon for boots of this sort. What is stand-out about them is the level of comfort. The first time I put these cloud-cushion shoes on my feet, I fell in love -- no breaking-in period needed! This is my second winter with them, and I'm still as delighted with them as I was when I first put them on.(Note: I did order a little larger than my usual size -- my feet run from 8 1/2-9, and I ordered a 9 1/2 -- because I wanted room for the very thick socks I like to wear when I'm out in the snow, and I think that was a good choice. They're roomy, but not too roomy.)

I originally bought these hiking boots in 2018 for a camping trip to Enchanted Rock, TX. When I first tried them on, they were pretty stiff but incredibly sturdy and comfortable. I broke them in during our trip, hiking trails and doing some bouldering. I wore thick wool socks one day and regular white Nike tube socks another day, but the boots weren't too tight and fit nicely with a little wiggle room if I wore thinner socks. I didn't end up with any blisters, and they were extremely warm and kept my feet cozy.If you've ever been to Enchanted Rock, you know there are a lot of vertical slopes and steep-incline rock faces, but I FELT LIKE SPIDER-MAN SCALING A GLASS SKYSCRAPER because these boots gave me incredible grip and didn't bend or crease at all. Even after walking through dirt, sand, and dust, these gave me the best traction and not once did I feel anxious about slipping the way I would if I was wearing some regular Nike or Adidas running shoes. I was also shocked at how light they felt on my feet and didn't have the clunky, heavy drag of other types of rubber hiking boots. As for being waterproof, they performed just as I expected, passing with flying colors. No amount of mud or rain could infiltrate the seams, and my feet stayed nice and dry after traipsing through muddy fields and rain all day.Fast forward two years to 2020 and they are still in great shape after countless camping trips and hikes. They're a little dusty, but besides that, the laces haven't frayed, the rubber hasn't cracked or started peeling, and the insulation and comfort inside is still super cozy and supportive. I started working at a car shop as a mechanic, and I had planned on ordering some new steel-toed work boots, but in the meantime I wore my Xpeti's. I was once again amazed at how sturdy yet comfortable they were, and even though I have dropped heavy metal wrenches on my feet, stubbed my toes on solid metal machines, and almost had my feet lightly torched, these boots have completely protected my feet. The hard rubber shell around the toe is thick and inflexible, and combined with the padding inside, it prevents anything from actually crushing or banging into my feet- hence the "Iron Man Strength" I mentioned in my headline. And despite being on my feet all day, once again they are extremely comfortable while still providing the support I need.Overall, I would buy these boots 10x over because of how much I love them. They are not only lightweight, have great grip, and are incredibly warm, dry, and comfortable, but they are super sturdy and protect my feet from any damage. If you're looking for a pair of hiking boots, look no further because these are just what you need.It is now 2023 (about to be 2024) and this is my five year update: still going strong. I joined the military and had new boots issued to me for my uniform and let me tell you- these Xpeti’s outdo “military-grade” in every aspect. They’re still sturdy and grippy as ever and I would wear them every day with my uniform if I could. Since my last update I got to test these out in snow and ice (against my will) when we got snowed in at Palo Duro Canyon over a weekend and every part of my body was freezing except for my feet. Yet again they were warm and dry despite trudging through wet snow and ice sludge, and are still no worse for wear. I guess I’ll be doing another update in two years, but I just might run out of good things to say about these boots 😂

I ordered an entire size up per the suggestion in the ad. I have wide feet and I love how these fit. There's room so I don't feel squished inside the boot. I am an avid outdoors enthusiast, and I also volunteer for a rescue-and-recovery group. These boots have been put to the test the last few months and I've been very impressed. My feet stay warm, maybe even too warm due to it being hot out right now. I've been in creeks and rivers and all sorts of places that are wet, and I haven't had an issue with any type of moisture inside the boot. There's enough room to wear thick socks when it gets cold. You can't beat the price and they're really cute as well.
