XPETI Men's Waterproof Hiking Boots

Why did you choose this product over others?:I have bought three pairs of these. Mine and two for my son as his feet keep growing. They’ve had harsh treatment, and have lasted better than any other make. When mine eventually wear out I will buy another pair. I’ve worn many boot including kynox and others but these are like slippers. Hard core waterproof tough mudda f’in slippers

These boots are fantastic! Ankle support is great, they were comfortable straight away, the feel really sturdy and durable.Super easy to clean I just hose them off, they look great, the sole is nice and thick but they are not too heavy.I am delighted with them, great value for money and they would easily stack up against any of the other more expensive brands.

Tough, waterproof, warm and have excellent grip. For the occasional walker these are plenty good enough. Mine have been up glacier mountains in Scandinavia and through boggy marshes in England and coped well with both. They are stable and supportive on gravelly, shaley ground and high enough on the ankle to deal with most boggy puddles. You'll need tight over trousers if you're expecting puddles more than 10 inches deep.

These are very good boots for walking the dog, the fit and comfort are very good. They have hardly worn since I bought them and I walk a minimum of 12 miles a day with Saber over rough and damp ground including the beach

I'd advise against buying these boots. The issue is they do not last as long as they should. Contrary to other reviews, they ARE definitely waterproof. This issue here is that once they're falling apart they will leak water.I bought my first pair of these around 5 years ago, they lasted about 2 years before developing issues even thought they were not in constant use. A hole formed in them across a the top\front of the boot where you toes will curl as you walk in them. The base of the boot was also on its way to detaching although I'd expect this would have lasted longer before starting to leak.Because these boots were comfortable & I liked the look, I decided to get another pair. Unfortunately, these lasted less than a year (again with irregular use). A hole formed in them around the same place & one of the seams split.If these boots were £40-50 that might be acceptable, but they are not. A hard-wearing hiking boot such as these should last longer & with good care, ALOT longer.

These boots are amazing. However the inside back of one of the boot has split and I've only really worn them for dog walking. I even use a shoe horn to get them on and off yet the material has still split. started wearing them in December so not even 6 months old :-(. I'm gonna see if I can get them repaired but not holding out much hope.. This is such a shame as they are the comfiest boots I've ever owned18/4 - wow wow wow. The supplier contacted me after my review. They replaced my boots immediately and for no cost. What can you say, this is customer service at its best. A big thank you to the them and I will definitely be purchasing again when these wear out.

I always buy walking boots for taking the dogs out. Over the past few years I am averaging probably a pair of boots every 9 months or so. I've tried the more expensive ones (£150+) and also the cheap end of the market (£30 or less). Previous boots have not lived up to their waterproof claims, have split or just fallen apart!! £30 every 9 months is not so bad as they are worn in all conditions and all types of terrain for about 4-5 miles every day, but more often than not the waterproofing is poor and it is no fun walking with cold wet feet.Trialling something different from an unknown brand I went for these after reading a couple of other reviews. I've also left it 4 months since my purchase to give greater perspective from my point of view.Although not the lightest of boots and on my first couple of times wearing them they did feel very stiff and unforgiving they have soon softened and I'm more used to the weight now.They have remained warm and waterproof, myself and the dogs have been on muddy walks through fields and woods, I've cleaned them in puddles and walked through ankle deep snow with not a drop of moisture on my socks. They clean up easily, have good grip and are very comfortable with the cushioned footbed. I'd happily buy another pair tomorrow but I can see these outlasting any of my previous purchases

I purchased these boots in 2018 for £40 (it might have been slightly less) and I am notamazed they have doubled in price. At this moment in time I am on my second pair of boots from this same company which also cost in the region of £40 and have also gone up in price. I am really getting into exercise and have been looking into the best gear for things like hiking, running, cycling etc. I am finding out about things like goretex which is a high performing product and deciding what products best to buy which will give me the best performance and also last for a long time as if I am going to pay £100's for things I expect them to last.So it is why I am so confused why these boot are at a price point next to other boots which I know are made of stronger stuff and from brands which pride themselves on quality. That is not to say that these boots are bad, on the contrary! They fit well, feel comfortable, however they are not waterproof in the way they suggest and the soles fall away from the boots after a while, this is a common theme with their products it seems since I have had at least two different styles from this brand. I only use these to walk a dog and not even on rugged terrain, although I do walk him every day for around 20 minutes!So for £40 its a good deal in my opinon, you get brand new boots which fit nicely, are comfortable and do the trick, having to change them once every 2 years seems realistic, but at £80 now its getting ridiculous. At that price I may as well get a really good pair for £150/200 which will last me for a decade!
