These women's hiking boots are lightweight and durable and are constructed with full-grain waxed 2mm Anfibio leather for better comfort and durability, a nylon midsole insert, and an EVA sole insert for increased comfort. The rubber outsole will give you better traction, support, and stability on any terrain so you don’t worry about slipping on slippery or rocky surfaces. The soft foam collar will keep debris from getting into your boots as you walk and also keeps your ankles protected and supported on long, uneven terrains. However, the boots can be a bit stiff so you'll need to break them in before you wear them for a hike.

What we liked

  • Comfortable and durable leather
  • Great traction
  • Waterproof

What we didn’t like

Features

Upper

The outer part of the upper is constructed with full-grain leather material that is waxed to make it waterproof. The leather is lightweight so it doesn't add weight to the boots which are great if you're hiking for long distances. The waterproof membrane on the outer layer ensures that your feet stay dry when walking in wet conditions.

Midsole

The nylon midsole inserts help to provide cushioning for your feet and add torsional rigidity so you can hike for longer over tougher terrain. Stiffer boots will provide enhanced comfort and stability. The EVA cushioning increases stiffness and durability.

Outsole

Hi-Tec uses MDT rubber outsoles and other rugged components for high-performance traction and support over different terrains. It also helps to absorb and redirect shock from the impact of your feet on the ground. The lug pattern on the soles provides better grip and traction and the heel brake reduces your chances of slipping on the trail.

Who is it best suited for?

The Summit women's hiking boots are great for women who love countryside walks or hiking on rough terrain or tackling long and steep climbs into the mountains.
