Customer feedback is generally favourable about comfort, quality and grip, and some buyers say the shoes accommodate thick walking socks. Reports are mixed on durability and water resistance, while sizing feedback includes concerns about a narrower fit than earlier models. That makes the comfort and traction reports encouraging for hiking, but buyers who depend on waterproofing or need a wider fit should weigh the conflicting experiences against the listing’s GORE-TEX and construction claims.

Positive themes

Customers report comfortable shoes and positive grip.
Some customers report a good fit, including room for thick walking socks.

Negative themes

Some customers find the shoes narrower than previous models.

Mixed feedback

Customers differ on water resistance, with reports ranging from highly waterproof to not waterproof.
Durability feedback is mixed, with some reporting little sole wear and others saying durability fell short of expectations.

Frequently asked questions

Is this shoe listed as waterproof?

Yes. The listing identifies a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, but customer feedback is mixed on water resistance, so reported experiences do not consistently confirm that claim.

Can the footbed be removed?

Yes. The listed Kinetic Fit ADVANCED contoured footbed is removable and described as providing medium support with reinforced heel cushioning.

How should I approach sizing?

The manufacturer advises using foot length because shoe sizing is not standardised. Customer feedback also includes reports that this model is narrower than previous versions.
