VIVOBAREFOOT Tracker II FG, Mens Leather Waterproof Hiking Boot With Barefoot Firm Ground Sole and Thermal Protection

Product Information

Once you've got the right size for you, they do deliver relaxing, almost slipper-like comfort. The boots are also surprisingly warm despite their light weight thanks to a thermal insole, which you can swap out for a lighter insole for summer hikes. A waterproof lining coupled with leather's naturally water-resistant properties make them waterproof enough to put up with a storm. With Vivobarefoot Shoes and Sandals, you can embrace a sporty and trendy lifestyle while prioritizing your foot health. The lightweight construction, sleek designs, and vibrant color options ensure that you can make a statement wherever you go. To summarise; great for any scrambling, supportive on an incline, but a bit hit and miss on grip on mixed terrain on the decline. Would I still use them? In a word, Yes. The up was so positive that I’d be stupid not to give them another go, and perhaps they are more designed for my hilly UK Peak District walks rather than mountains – watch this space.
