I DONT REGRET BUYING THESE SHOES! Very sturdy and Comfortable
I do not regret buying these shoes. I’ve categorized my review in terms of different factors:1. SIZE: I normally wear a US size 7 1/2 but I purchased the US size 8 instead and the fit is very comfortable. I’d advise anyone purchasing this shoe to buy half size up if you want toe wiggle room. One thing to note: the shoe comes with very thick soles- if you remove them you’ll get more space in the shoe in case it comes too tight- bear in mind this may compromise the comfort. You do not want a shoes like this too form fitting or else your feet will hurt after walking for some time. With that said- It is true to the size chart. (I measured the length of my foot and used the size chart recommended size then I purchased half size up) so According to the chart I’m a size 7 1/2 but I bought size 8.2. STYLE: the Xpeti women’s mid rise hiking boots are very striking. I’ve received many compliments and I love the fact that I can lace up the shoe all the way up. The shoe design provides great grip at the bottom so you won’t slip in mud or on steep slopes ( I hike a lot for my job so I have first hand experience with the shoe on steep slopes)3. DURABILITY and QUALITY: the shoe is of great quality and the build is very strong. It really is waterproof and that’s great.All and all a great purchase.Con: may be slippery on wet smooth rocks

Nice Boots!
I first ordered a 9.5 but my toes were at the very end of the shoe. I wear a 9 in most shoes but have a narrow boot so I expected the medium width to be a little loose, the width on the 9 was snug but when I reordered a 10, the fit was nearly perfect. Just right at the toes, the arch support was good which is unusual for me because I have a high arch. The boots feel great and give me good ankle support as well. This is my First initial reaction just out of the box and wearing for first time. I’m planning a short 5’ hike down a canyon and 5’ miles back to try them out. There’s a cold pond at the bottom of the canyon that is fed by an underground water source and water fall so I will slip in my leather led like shoes for jumping in to cool off since it’s around 5pm deep but ever so refreshing. I’d go barefoot if it were not for the semi sharp rocks at the bottom of the pond. We usually do that hike to warm us up to longer treks. We pack a lite lunch with ice water and dry off on the very nice smooth rocks there. I can’t wait to try these new hiking boots out. Right now, they are comfortable. The other pair I had started a return on but if my daughter-in-law likes them, I will give them to her for our family hiking trips. These are well made, the traction control soles are so far, well designed. I’m anxious to see if they hold up hiking through rocks down somewhat steep trails. I’m sure they will.

Best Hiking Shoe
This is the second time I am purchasing this wonderful shoe. It has a unique cushion insole that makes my walking days so comfortable. I love that it is black because that is my work uniform and I do a lot of hiking on the job. So far this shoe has not failed me. It lasted me two years while using them heavily for my job. I walk on a lot of uneven, terrain, and I am a park ranger who is out in the woods a lot. It is breathable, waterproof, and quite sturdy. I did however have to go half a size up. I am 8 1/2 wide, and I have purchased a size 9, and they are perfect with socks on. It does not take long to break into. Although tough at the beginning it is a shoe that definitely adapts to the form of your feet. I feel super secure with this hiking shoe. Love It!

Inspect your boot as soon as you get it!
UPDATED REVIEW!!!!!My below review was from a few hours of wear but now I have been hiking in these boots on three different trails, rock climbed and been out to waterfalls and let me just say something about these boots... AMAZING!As long as you dont let water come to the top of your boot, meaning above where they're tied off at your ankle... you can completely put this shoe underwater with nothing to leak inside and get your feet wet.Yesterday I stood in a creek ankle high and was in there for a good bit of time with no leaking inside my boot.As far as comfort.. I have never found a boot this comfy. I hiked almost four hours and even wore them to drive home an hour and to grocery shop in.This boot is truly amazing... The boot functionality itself gets a 5 STAR from me. The only reason I gave it a 4 star was realted to my previous review below.Before I give the negative I want to give the positive.I hike ALOT. These boots were definitely created for those who hike hikes for the not faint of heart.The grip on the sides as well as top and bottom are incredible! Even better than what appears to the eye in the pics given for purchase.I was very hesitant in buying these because the price was so low and any regular hiker knows you’re going to spend well over $100.00 on a good hiking boot.I have to say that these are the most comfortable hiking boot I’ve ever put on my foot.Size is true to my normal foot size of an 8. My twin sister ordered a half size up as they recommend you order a full size up and even the half size was too big.Even in wearing good, solid hiking socks they’re not too snug. The fit is just right.The ankle support is top notch and does not rub my ankles raw like past hiking shoes.This shoe is truly a great product.I believe in giving credit where credit is due.Now, the negative.When I received these I took them straight out of the box and placed them on my feet only to find I could barely tie the left boot due to the boot string being frayed almost completely in half.These were purchased as brand new, not used so not sure why it looks like a rat chewed through the string.I contacted amazon and they stated I would have to call the manufacture for the replacement.All in the end, they sent me a new pair of boots and I have to take the current pair back to UPS.Not a fun process but I would say that it’s still worth having a good boot!Side note: My boot is an ankle boot and feels perfect for what I wanted.My twin sister got the taller boot that was also labeled an ankle boot but true to form is a mid calf hiking boot. Both are a great fit and were comfortable just walking around in for a few hours.Will update after our long hike in a few days!

Comfortable!
These are extremely comfortable and aesthetically pleasing! I love then so much. I wore them outside in the snow. My feet did get cold, but stayed completely dry! Not sure about walking in the rain yet, but si far, everything that I wanted.
