XPETIWomen's Thermator Mid High-Top Waterproof Outdoor Hiking Boot

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 😂

Had to return first pair too small. I wear a size 10 reordered an 11. Very nice boot seems like it’s going to be warm. Well made nice sole. Lightweight good support and comfort

I only give it four stars because I havent been able to wear them out and about yet! They are super comfortable from just trying them on and they have very good traction. I love how they look! Hoping they keep my feet warm this hunting season, as I have read from other peoples comments that they are very warm and to size up (which I did) and they fit perfectly. I normally wear an 8.5 and I got a 9. hope this helps others :)

I bought these for a hunting trip to Idaho. I needed a lightweight boot for walking the woods. These were great! Fit perfect, super lightweight and kept my feet warm. My husband got the men’s boot and he loved his too. I did not expect that I would like them so much because they are pretty cheap in price. I would buy them again

I bought these for my wife, I bought 1/2 size larger because I know she’d need big socks to stay warm, we haven’t hiked far yet but walked the dog a couple miles on a wet trail, she said the fit is perfect with regular socks (mens socks) and if we were actually hiking she said puffier socks would be perfect too add support, she preferred then a little loose for the local walk but she didn’t really tighten them so technically the size is correct, she wears a 5 1/2 I got her 6 she could’ve gotten the 5 1/2 and been just fine. She said they are super comfortable, we walked down a wet hill that we normally slip down she said she had great traction.She has dozens of worn once shoes due to fit but now she keep asking to go hiking. The day we walked it was 33 deg F she said her feet were super warm normally they’re always cold even with name brand expensive boots.Being such a small boot on her they are not bulking or looking like cartoon feet. Really cute, super comfortable no break in needed, warm and great traction.I too got the same brand and the tread is the same size on her size 6 as my size 12 so in reality her grip is much better, no more rescue missions when she falls down the hills bonus!Did I say they were cute, especially with her tight hiking pants.Oh and yes they’re water proof, we walking through a tiny creak the water went over the top of her feet and stayed dry, they must come with repellent because the water just beaded off still looking brand new and dry.We’re going winter hiking in the snow 1-29-2022 and if there is an issue I’ll update, if they stay warm and dry I’m not going to update so if it’s after 2-2-2022 and no update then the above review stands.Trust me if I have to hear complaining of cold or wet feet there will be an update.

I purchased these boots in August 2024 and I used them hiking across Ireland and Scotland in September 2024. They already have cracking on the tunge of both shoes. I expected more for the price. They were mostly comfortable, but I did get a blister on the top of a couple of toes. You need double socks or thick socks with these boots. The toe area is a bit loose compared to the rest of the fit. Good traction, a little heavy.

Son cómodas y excelentes para senderismo, muy resistentes.

Comfy.. Good for my torn cartilage in ankle.. So great support.. Wear high socks or expect blisters on legs

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.

SE VEN MUY BIEN Y ESTAN MUUY PADRES

Nice boot! No uncomfortable seams by the toes! Great traction! The only thing is the laces could be two inches longer. I can just get a bow tied. Love the boot though!
