XPETI Men’s Thermator Mid-Rise Lightweight Hiking Insulated Non-Slip Outdoor Boots

Very lightweight and in a good way. Comfortable right out of the box. This was an emergency purchase 1 week before a Colorado elk hunt since my regular boots got damaged. I was worried that with no break in period I would end up with blisters and sore feet but that didn't happen. Hiked several miles over rough and muddy ground to our hunt spot and my feet were warm and dry. Got elk and it took several trips over 2 days to pack it all out, feet were never a problem. Walked through and stood in streams and stayed dry. Soles are a good combo of firm and flex and seemed to shed the mud whenever I hit dry land. Very impressed so far, can't say how long they'll last but they cleaned up well after the hunt and look like new again.

These are 100% worth the money! I bought them. I waterproofed them with silicon spray and been wearing them ever since. I wear a 10.5 shoe size. Thats what I got in boot size and they fit perfectly! Definitely impressed for how cheap they are! My feet are warm, not wet and the grip is good!

Best boot I have ever purchase

Great boot for the price. I bought them last year and wore them probably 20 times for various tasks and hikes. They’re very comfortable, definitely waterproof, they keep your feet warm in the winter, and they look pretty good too. They also have great ankle support and fantastic grip. My only problem is that after about 6 months of occasionally wearing them, the rubber soles started to come away from the material around the sides of the front of the foot area. It won’t be long before they’re no longer waterproof and completely useless. But they were only 60 something dollars, so I’m not complaining too much.

Pretty solid boots for the price. Have not tested waterproofing, but they are super comfortable and broke in quickly.

Comfy and true to size. I bought one size up as you should when buying boots. Wore these to hunt and ice fishing with one regular sock paired with wool socks and it kept me warm.

I know reviews can often get confusing between specific products, so I am reviewing the "XPETI Men’s Thermator Mid-Rise Lightweight Hiking Insulated Non-Slip Outdoor Boots". I purchased these boots a few months ago specifically to take with me to Yellowstone National Park and surrounding areas in general. We planned to do a great deal of walking and hiking, and we knew the weather would be very rainy, wet and snowy at times. I spent a small amount of time using them around the house and out and and about just to get used to the feel. They did a great job with those "every day" type activities. On to hiking: These boots have outstanding grip and support. I walked over thick and thin ice, slush, rocks, loose dirt and gravel, slippery wet surfaces and asphalt. I absolutely recommend these boots when discussing specifically the support they give your feet and ankles when you need grip. They did everything I needed my boots to do in that regard, and I felt confident stepping and walking on any surface I came across. These boots are also quite warm. I worse some basic hiking socks, some thicker winter socks and just regular socks with them. In temperatures down to about 28-30 degrees F, I never had an issue with the cold (if my feet were dry - more on that below). Good stuff on the insulation. Now, the reason I can only give this three stars. I would actually give these less than three if I didn't really like wearing these for all of the reasons above. The boots I received are in no way, shape or form waterproof. They proved to even barely be water resistant. From walking in dew-covered, ankle high grass to light rain to heavy rain and foot-deep snow, my feet were wet within minutes every single time. This resulted in cold feet. Every single day I wore these while in Montana (except for when everything was completely dry) my feet and socks got wet. I had to stick these directly over heat vents in the RV for hours each night to somewhat dry them out for the next day. If both of my boots just happened to come defective, then so be it. I would accept that as an excuse. If they are not defective, then be wary: These provided very, very poor protection from water. The skin around the boot seemed to do a fine job with water resistance. I can't be sure, but it seems to me that water entered the boot at the point where the rubber meets that skin. Regardless, nothing I did except for literally avoiding water at all costs kept my feet dry. With that said, I actually really do like these boots. They look great, feel great and provide excellent support and grip. I regret my purchase because the primary reason I bought them is for the advertised water proofing.

Shocked how well they fit, and how comfortable they were without a huge break in period. The only issue is the temperature theyre rated for isn't accurate. My feet started getting cold at about 30°. If you hunt in the late season often thats something you want to take into consideration. Still though for the price im more than happy
