Clorts Women's Hiker Waterproof Lightweight Hiking Camping Boot Outdoor High-Traction Grip Backpacking Shoe

I'm not a frequent hiker/camper, so I'm loathe to buy really expensive hiking shoes, but the downside of not spending enough is you get crap. After reading so many reviews on these shoes, I decided to try one last time. Surprisingly, these shoes turned out to be just right for me. I wore them the first time during a camping trip in which I did light hiking. The first day my feet were sore and my ankles hurt, however this is my fault. I laced them too tight and my ankles always hurt with shoes like this (I'd hoped this part would be different). The subsequent days, I loosened the laces and only went to the first hooks. After that, my feet and ankles were just right. I'm not sure if doing this would be good for serious hiking, but I only had to rock hop across a stream, go up and down giant rocks and walk mostly on trails or flat meadow. I felt more stable on rocks than I ever have before, and going up and down, I felt good and confident grip. I am really, really surprised at how well these worked for not having broken them at in at all. One of the main reasons I wanted these shoes too was to keep my feet clean, so I wore these shoes literally all day. I had no issues, other than the first day. The only thing I would do differently is to change out the insoles with ones I use in my tennis shoes. For the relatively low price, I'm very happy I bought these. I normally wear an 8, but got 8.5. They fit like 8s.

I received these shoes about a month ago and absolutely adore them! I use mine as barn work shoes because I'm on my feet all day and needed something that was sturdy enough to withstand walking long days on rough terrain. I have bunions and horrible feet which make finding comfortable shoes hard to find. The footbed is super comfy, and the included memory foam insoles keep my feet from aching too much. They may not be the most waterproof shoes but a lil waterproofing spray does the trick. To fit my feet the best I had to order a size up. I needed to wider footbed to accomadate my bunion. While being secure and roomy for my toes, I still had enough support for my ankles to not wobble around. After a while I did find I had some complications with my shoes. Things just weren't right anymore. I contacted Clorts directly and was able to email back and forth with a wonderful lady named Wendy about what was up with my shoes. After exchanging some pictures and only about 24hrs of contact she was able to send me a new pair. She was quick and responsive to my email and getting me a new pair. I look forward to getting me new pair and wearing them. Thank you Clorts and Wendy for making a headache turn into a pleasant experience.

These shoes are very good quality, light and comfortable, except that they are slightly too small in length. I measured my feet carefully, went with the size of the largest one which was exactly right for a 6.5 and ordered those. However, my big toe on the largest foot pushes against the end of the shoe and there is no room whatsoever for socks of any kind. This makes me think that the foot length is actually the length of the shoe and therefore you're going to need to go half a size up to make room for socks and to give a little extra space for your toes. I bought the grey boots because the manufacturer specified NOT to size up on that particular colour as they had recently adjusted the sizes to be just right. Not the case. Unfortuantely, we live in a remote part of Panama and have a forwarding service for our packages and therefore I cannot return these boots and exchange them for the next size up. I'm going to try to break them in and stretch the toe area out using them with bare feet in the house. We'll see how that goes.

First off I'd like to say I researched a lot, and after reading many blogs Backpackers blog 80 blogs hiked through blogs it's not necessarily the type of shoe or the price of shoe it's what works best for you. I chose these mid-level hiking boots I have a left ankle surgery years ago I needed support. And being nearly a Avid camper...leisurely; and a moderate hiker Backpacker, I bought the shoes as a mid grade between the highest and lowest prices not quality. These shoes came to me on time, I put them on (fit as well as my Timberlands) as always I waterproof them, check them for flaws...unsealed seams. Right out of the box they fit like a glove. Just to give note I wear a 6-6 1/2, they recommended a size larger for, wool socks, hiking socks, and weatherproof socks. Any event I'm wearing them in the summer and early fall hot seasons, I could use a insert with thinner socks. After many day hikes they are holding up great. I know no shoe can withstand the A. T. Trail all the way but these are going to do a great job. I do plan on buying a second pair if they hold up well through the months and so far no problems they're awesome.

I bought the grey pair in 2021 and immediately took them up the Ramsey Cascades Trail in the Smokies. They had a nice wide toe-box, good arch support, were waterproof, and they were comfortable all day. I have put many many miles on those shoes. But then one of the eyelets popped out this last summer! So I hopped back on Amazon to order another pair because I love them so much, and thought ooh, the black ones are cute!THEY ARE NOT THE SAME SHOE! The toe-box is not wide enough for my feet and they hurt after a couple of miles. Also, the eyelets are sewn on instead of riveted, which is great, but they're not the same shoe. I've tried "breaking them in" but after about 10-15 accumulated miles they still hurt my feet on long walks. I'm very sad.
