XPETI Men's Pathfinder Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots

These are absolutely, without a doubt some of the best work boots I've ever had.Let me preface this by saying I've owned timberland pros, and non pros, steel toes and composite from keen and merrel, among many others. These have outperformed them all in terms of grip, weather proofing, comfort, and longevity. I had been on the hunt for cheap, reliable work boots that did everything I need, and these are exactly that. If you need a reason to buy them, this is it. They're cheap. Absolutely, stupidly cheap, and I'm a fedex driver so I'm running all day, every day. The little rubber toe even offers mild protection from drops, of which I've also had many. I can't say enough good things about these, and I will probably never buy another pair of "name brand" shoes again. When these break, I will absolutely be buying another pair. I've included photos of the shoes after 4 months of heavy use as well. (After 3 months, my keens completely cane unglued from the sole, as did the timberlands.

I bought this for a friend because he saw mine . We love it. Comfortable and durable

Straight out of the box to my feet for a day hunt. At the end of the day of rocky terrain my feet felt fine, the boots were in good shape. The biggest surprise came when I took them off. No fighting the laces, no suddenly painful spots. My feet were in truly great shape, and so were the boots. Now after wearing them daily for two weeks they are showing no signs of the usual end of the honeymoon period. They didn’t slip on the spilled diesel fuel, the stitching isn’t coming undone, no chunks missing from the soles. How they will be after a year I don’t know but they’re off to a great start. BTW fit for me is perfect, I’m preparing to order another pair. Okay more than 18 months later I've got some stitching coming on the right toe cap and left heel cap (forward edge). They have been used and abused. They are still comfortable, functional and intact. Soles are still holding up, this is impressive after Arizona desert and Missouri Farmlands and Creeks. I still rate them as Five stars and I just put a new pair in my cart because they have survived longer than anything except my Black Issued Combat Boots.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very comfortable, water resistant, but beware, yellow label inside will stain your socks yellow. It makes your socks look like you stepped in pee.

I have been looking for a quality pair of hiking/hunting boots that wouldn’t break the bank and these are exactly what I was looking for. They are very comfortable, true to size, and I am looking forward to putting lots of miles on them!

What I liked was they fit great and I can't say for sure but think xpeti listens to consumers,I have tried their shoes before and had few small issues,but more recent pairs have been nothing but great and comfortable,I wear a size 10 and the fit couldn't be any better,I just wore these brand new yesterday for about 14 hrs straight of rocks,tree roots,loose soil👍only thing I noticed was maybe just a tad bit more padding in the sole(gel sole insert is what I'm putting in mine)I do know certain hikers have a specific purpose for different terrain but overall and price wise I would wear these anywhere,and the new keen hikers I purchased will be returned only because for what I paid for them they are nowhere as comfortable as these xpeti hikers.

Incredible, I didn’t think for the price I would enjoy these that much. Feet stayed dried, the shoes were supportive and sturdy. Never slipped once. And they were pretty easy to trek in, pretty lightweight. Honestly would love another pair just to give me an excuse to vacation and wear them again on a hike.

Very well made and fit nice!
