Topo Athletic Men's Trailventure 2 WP Comfortable Waterproof 5MM Drop Trail Running Boots, Athletic Shoes for Trail Running

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Most comfortable and durable hiking boot I’ve ever had!

Extremely comfortable with wide toe box. My 3rd pair

Great hiking, lightweight, good shank support ankle support highly recommend

Bought these for a trip where I was going to be hiking in some snow. I love Topos but wasn't sure if this boot would work hiking through snow. With the “sneaker” look I thought it might leak in and soak my foot. Happy to say after hiking all weekend and camping overnight in the snow these performed nicely. My feet stayed dry and warm. So long as I was moving. Once I stopped tho my toes got cold. However people wearing Scarpas had the same complaint. For the most part they were warm and comfy. The next day it warmed up and there was wet snow and puddles. Still stayed dry.I only have two minor complaints. One being the laces wont stay tied unless you double knot them. The string is too slick or something. The second is the lugs are weak on these shoes. On my other tools the lugs are very aggressive. These are slightly less so. I def could feel the difference.In short I would recommend for light winter hiking. I wouldn't take these over 14k as they are not mountaineering boots. For recreational activities I think they will be fine.

My feet toes no longer bleed

These are not in any way shape or form waterproof, even in mildly wet grass or light rain. My socks soak almost immediately. My first pair a little over a year ago were fairly water resistant, however the sole began to separate from the rest of the boot, so I bought another pair. Topo quality seems to have gone downhill significantly, and that is on top of the previous known issues.

This hiking boot is very comfortable. I have 2 pairs of the same; one is waterproof, the other is not. I like these because there is a lot of room in the toe box. They also have a few unique features, like having the laces remain stationary as you cinch them up. When I first put them on, they feel like slippers (each time I wear them).

My application is probably not what most buyers are looking for in a good hiking shoe, however they’re perfectly suited for my needs at work having to be outside and inside during all of the seasons. They’re especially useful during the winter months because they’re not only a comfortable shoe, but they keep my feet dry and warm. The wide toe box is essential for me as well, my toes can naturally spread and relax in this shoe. It supports the foot in all areas very well and gives excellent traction on wet, and slippery surfaces. Just. I’ve recommended them to my family and friends as well as my co-workers, and I have several pair in different styles applications. Just an all around great shoe!
