![]() ![]() For 2023, they’re the only lightweight hiking boot we tested where the weight stayed the same-every other boot model got heavier. In our own testing, we found these lightweight summer hiking boots to have exceptional traction, good breathability, and feel comfortable right out of the box without a break-in period. The 2023 model is just as lightweight as in previous years and this year, has an updated style that we like. It's the top-selling men's boot at REI and won an Outdoor Gear Lab Editor's Choice. It's the only lightweight Gore-tex hiking boot that received a rating of 5 out of 5 from both Gear Junkie and Run Repeat. The Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid Gore-Tex ( men’s and women’s) is our winner for the Best Hiking Boot overall for hikers of all skill levels and foot shapes. What we didn’t like: runs narrow, available in wide sizing but can be hard to find What we liked: breathability, waterproofing, exceptional traction, incredible comfort right out of the box, no break-in needed Another nugget is that while the original purchase amount was 96.11 they charged my credit card 103.Weight (per boot): 13.5 oz (women’s) / 15.2 oz (men’s) They reinvent themselves over and over again with different addresses. They wrote back and said that their final offer was 50% refund. I wrote back again and tell them that I wanted three pair of sneakers or a full refund. I brought this to their attention which they ignored and told me that they would refund 38% of my money which would cover the cost of the glasses that I did not order. When I inquired they said that a third-party vendor screwed up and that The sneakers were all sold out despite the fact that I could go back on their site and put any one of the sneakers but they had available on the site in a cart. ![]() Instead of three pair of sneakers a tiny box arrived with a fake pair of the cheapest sunglasses I've ever seen. ![]() I was doing a search for Hoka sneakers and inadvertently wound up on their site I ordered three pair of sneakers that were advertised as closeouts and several weeks later when I asked where my shipment was they sent me tracking information. The ones I wore for a month actually have a hole right down to the plastic They really are terrible quality please do not be fooled. I'm not a malicious person but I do wish I'd gone up there to protest in person whilst 7000 runners spent a week in my town Only because a huge event was in my town and HOKA sponsored it, did they even agreed to give me the money back for one pair as I threatened to go. They could see all the shoes in the photographs it's absolutely disgraceful. The customer service was terrible because I bought them from local Mountain stores and only had a receipt for one, even though I sent them pictures and the names of the shops, they absolutely refused to help. ![]() I'm so gutted as my injured Achilles had actually healed now I'm left with two injuries. I started off with one injury and now I have both. Not only that my physio was completely shocked and told me that these shoes had aggravated both Achilles heels. I walk maximum 5 km a day five times a week and within a month one of them was worn down to the plastic at the heel inside. I was injured and did not walk far at all you're talking maybe 2 km a day.īeing reasonable I put this down to bad luck/ socks (!) and again reading all their self testimony on their site of how good they were for Achilles, stupidly bought another two pairs. The first were purchased and after three months I noticed they'd both worn away completely at the back. Having a damaged left Achilles heel I did extensive research and went in headfirst and bought three pairs of Mach 4 in a few months. Not a complainer by trade but was so upset by the false advertising and the quality of shoes. ![]()
