ManfenWomen's Hiking Boots Lightweight Waterproof Hunting Boots, Ankle Support

This is the second time I am purchasing this wonderful shoe. It has a unique cushion insole that makes my walking days so comfortable. I love that it is black because that is my work uniform and I do a lot of hiking on the job. So far this shoe has not failed me. It lasted me two years while using them heavily for my job. I walk on a lot of uneven, terrain, and I am a park ranger who is out in the woods a lot. It is breathable, waterproof, and quite sturdy. I did however have to go half a size up. I am 8 1/2 wide, and I have purchased a size 9, and they are perfect with socks on. It does not take long to break into. Although tough at the beginning it is a shoe that definitely adapts to the form of your feet. I feel super secure with this hiking shoe. Love It!

Perfect fit and my feet are SO WARM in these! Truly lightweight and I've tied them so that I can slip them on and off.

I wore these for the first time on a 4 mile hike. No blisters and my feet weren't sore. Good traction on rocks, though I haven't tried them on wet rock yet. I try to avoid mud and puddles when I hike so I can't comment on the water proof claims. They're light weight so they didn't make it harder going up the inclines! I agree with other comments about the sizing. I normally wear a size 8 and ordered an 8.5 and they fit perfectly. Ankle support was a big deal for me since I've already broken my ankle once. I wore a basic plastic support brace with these boots and I didn't worry about it--nice and sturdy! Other boots and the brace didn't make me feel confident I wouldn't end up breaking it again.My one negative-ish comment is that they're not comfortable for me if I'm just sitting in the car with them on. I know it's silly since I certainly didn't get them for sitting in a car!Hubby said to get a big name brand but sometimes we ladies know better than men! I'm glad I didn't spend all the extra money and trusted these reviews and my gut.

Great walking and hiking boot. Very comfortable

The first time my wife put these on she was pleasantly surprised. She said they were supportive and very comfortable. After wearing them around the house to get used to them she decided to try them hiking. We hike the dunes of Lake Michigan two to three times weekly. The first couple of hikes were cold but no snow; she loved them. The last few hikes were through the snow and she now loves them even more! In addition to keeping her feet warm, they provide more support and stability than her traditional hiking boots (Merrell, Columbia and Keen). Although these were specifically purchased with the cold and snow in mind, she is purchasing a mid-height pair of Manfen's for the spring. She normally wears an 8.5 but they were too small so she went with a 9.5; perfect fit.

UPDATE: I'm back from my trip to Iceland and updating the review. These shows are warm, sturdy and waterproof (unless you accidentally fall into a glacial lake and submerge them from the top down like I did haha but that was entirely my fault. They seem to be drying well from the accident!).The only reason why I'm giving these 4/5 stars is because they created pressure points on the left side (outside) of my calf on both legs after a few days of wearing them. So if you're going to be hiking for a week or so, bring another pair of shoes to swap between because these shoes are very stiff and might create pressure points. That's the only downside to these, otherwise they're awesome and I'm glad I bought these.I ordered these for my upcoming trip to Iceland so I will update my review post trip, but so far I love them and I think they will be perfect. They fit very well and provide comfortable arch and ankle support. They also seem to be quality construction and materiel.I was unsure of what size it order based on the mixed sizing reviews and I did the "sizing guide" that comes with the product and after filling out the questions it told me to order a size 8.5 so that's what I did and they fit! I usually wear a size 8 and sometimes an 8.5 depending on the shoe.I tried them on with thin socks, medium thick socks, regular thick socks, and extra thick insulated wool socks (the super heavy ones for snowboarding) and they fit with all of them!! They're almmoosstt too snug with the extra thick insulated socks, but they still fit and I don't expect it to be a problem. In the photos I'm wearing regular thick socks.Bonus: these are pretty cute as far as hiking and outdoor shoes go for women!
