What to Look for in Men’s Waterproof Walking Boots?
Picking the proper Boot for Your Needs
The right boot will have a greater impact on your hiking experience than any other piece of gear. The following are some key features to look for in a quality pair of hiking boots:
Waterproof Technology
Quality hiking boots feature a waterproof membrane that keeps water from entering the boot yet allows perspiration to evaporate. Therefore, your feet will be kept dry without feeling clammy. Our men's waterproof walking boots employ a waterproof lining that is ideal for the frequently damp conditions of the British Isles.
Boot Construction Material
-
Hiking boots can be constructed of either:
-
Leather: Very durable, supportive, and long-lasting
-
Synthetic Materials - Lightweight, fast-drying
A leather hiking boot will provide excellent protection for your feet. However, if you want something lightweight, a synthetic boot would work well.
Fit and Comfort
Comfort is an extremely important consideration when purchasing hiking boots. They should feel snug but not overly tight. Check for:
-
Padded collars and tongues
-
Cushioned insoles
-
Enough toe space for walking downhill.
-
And please, do use Hiking Socks when fitting your boots.

Outsoles
Wet Trails - Muddy Trails - Rocky Terrain all require good traction to prevent slips; the tread on the sole of a quality boot will assist you in achieving that and give you the confidence you need to keep walking.
Ankle Support
Mid to high-ankle boots will provide better support for your ankles, mainly when walking on uneven terrain. Therefore, wearing a mid-ankle boot will lessen the likelihood of twisting your ankle while walking long distances.
Weight and Flexibility
Lightweight hiking boots may be appropriate for casual walkers and day hikes; however, those who walk longer distances should consider a heavier boot.
