The details

This product is a lightweight, water-resistant piece which are two of the most essential features for a hiking shoe. The design is great for steep and pointy hikes. Leather suede exterior and thick rubber soles add to the trendiness.

Value for money

At this price, the product is a safe bet as it has all the essential elements of a well-equipped hiking shoe. The pair promises durability and the design has been made keeping in mind today’s fashion aesthetic, which adds value.

Weight

The product is very light compared to most water-proof variants and has a varyingly thickened sole that doesn’t make the weight concentrated at any one point. It’s a must-have if the product’s weight is one of your concerns.

Material

The material used on top is complete suede, leather which gives the shoes a very sturdy look. However, it also may feel a little suffocating if worn for long hours as it has high ankles as well.

Comfort

The product is a great choice for short treks but might feel a little unstable due to the curvy design and lack of breathable material makes the shoes inconvenient for longer treks.

Final verdict

As a whole, the shoes are a great choice if you are looking for a fashionable option for daily walks, etc. However, they may become tiresome over long treks if you are not a fan of high-ankle shoes. For their price, they serve their purpose as hiking shoes really well.
