Detailed Review
When you slip into the Skechers Women's Walking Hiking Boot, you immediately notice the plush comfort offered by the Warm Tech Memory Foam insole. This feature makes long walks or hikes much more enjoyable as it cushions your feet, reducing fatigue. The outer material blends synthetic microfiber and a cozy sweater knit, which not only provides warmth but also gives the boots a fashionable edge that can transition from the trail to casual outings without skipping a beat.
The boot's ankle height is ideal for providing support without restricting movement. This aspect is crucial when navigating uneven terrains or steep inclines. Additionally, the padded collar and tongue contribute significantly to the overall comfort, ensuring that your ankles are enveloped securely without feeling too tight.
On the performance front, the flexible rubber traction outsole excels in providing grip—essential for maintaining stability on slippery or rugged surfaces. Whether you're walking on wet grass or dusty trails, you can trust these boots to keep you grounded.
However, it's worth noting that sizing can be a bit tricky, as some users have reported discrepancies. It's advisable to try them on, if possible, to ensure a perfect fit. Also, like many new pairs of boots, they might require some breaking in to achieve maximum comfort.

User Reviews
Comfortable and keep my feet warm and dry.. Love the charcoal color.
These things are supportive, very lightweight, and a great fit to size.
I really enjoyed using this boot recently when I visited the German Christmas markets. It was quite cold and rainy there. These boots kept my feet warm and dry. They were also very comfortable. There was one day in which we waled about 18,000 steps and my feet were fine. I did use a some nice thick socks as most anyone would during cold weather. I am not sure how well they would hold up for hard our rugged hiking but they did feel very sturdy so they probably would hold up for moderate hiking.I have always used Skechers shoes so I was surprised that they made a boot. But, I've been very happy with my purchase.
I am so glad I purchased these! I wanted a good pair of hiking boots for my Colorado trip but didn’t want to completely break the bank. These were AMAZING. My fiancé and I went hiking at Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and Royal Gorge. Lots of different terrains and these shoes held up so well. They fit true to size, kept my feet warm, and super cute! My only reason for 4 stars is I wish they were a bit wider and went up higher on the ankle since we did walk through some snow. Definitely worth buying!
I love these boots! They're so cute and comfy.
Very comfortable, warm and lightweight. Highly recommend
I love this boots great tread when walking my dog in the snow. Boots are also water proof great for the cold rainy days in Michigan.
