How to Choose Hiking Boots and Shoes

These approach shoes take on rugged backpacking, 4th-class climbing and water crossings. They're stiff and stable even with a heavy load. Dual-purpose soles smear up slabs and descend softer ground.

This shoes was unfortunately so uncomfortable, went a size bigger due to previous comments about the fitting of the shoes can be too small. Due to the narrow design at the front it was still small fitted even though I had size up. For me unfortunately the shoes was so uncomfortable after 30mins walk my feet began to pulsate and had to take them off to ease my feet. But I will have to say the waterproofing was fantastic, As I find most products say they’re waterproof but they aren’t. This product definitely keeps your feet dry, it’s a shame the product is so uncomfortable to wear.
So far they're comfy and keep my feet dry in the wet dewy grass. I did notice that in the frost the toe box had no traction at all so that's a tad worrisome. Won't be wearing in snow.
I wore my Konseals for the first time yesterday , walking over mixed terrain. Comfort was excellent , traction was excellent. However, waterproofing faulty. I stepped into a boggy area and water immediately seeped in from the top surface of the shoe at the junction of the tongue to the body of the shoe, at about the third lace loop down from the toe. On checking, this area has not been stitched completely and I can push my finger through a hole there. It’s the same on the other shoe. So unfortunately, not waterproof due to faulty stitching.
This shoes are amazing, simply wonderful! They perform really well in wet and slippery terrain. Afterwords just wiped them clean! I bought my usual 6.5 and they fit perfectly. My arch is narrow so they hug my foot just right. Now, thinking about another pair. Btw the green color is beautiful!
First time buying this brand, recommended. Comfortable, keep feet warmth in fall or winter weather, water proof. Will wait for one year to see how’s the qualify of shoes
They are definitely a rigid shoe. Style is lacking but I guess who cares when on a hike to the crag
