Lightweight Hikers

DeerMadness · Jun 19, 2017

I like to do overnight hikes to alpine lakes with about 16 lbs gear. I like mid height waterproof and want lightweight. I get on rocky trails . Has anyone found a boot like this. I am looking at Keen Koven Mid Waterproof but they don't have Vibram soles.

Hey PUNK?

Which Boot did you get in the Under Armours?

I Bought A Pair Last Year & Haven't Abused them Yet!

I may have been referred to as a light weight hiker a time or two...

Merrell Moab mid's waterproof is what I hike in and I really like them. They perform well both on trail and off.
I've tried on the Under Armour boots at the store and I just don't like them. But I'm not fond of any Under Armour footwear. I haven't used them for a 15 mile weekend either, so...........

I ended up buying Salomon Authentic LTR GTX. I traded out the insole for Spenco Cross Trainers. I will share down the road how they work out.

Big Under Armour fan here but I think their footwear stinks!
I like Vasque Breeze GTX for what you're describing

Take a look at the Irish Setter boots at BassPro on line. Just bought a pair for my Grandson, light weight, flexible, good soles......uninsulated $150

My feet are to wide for Kenetrek's . I sent them back many times to get reworked. I had to give them to oldest boy. My UA are wide widths and fit fine. Light weight and water proof.

Ms feddoc would Slap You Silly If You even Thought about looking that direction!

Then She'd Take your Ford away from you too!

Check out the Asolo Neutron boot-For $150 at Sierra Trading Post, these boots are tough to beat for a lightweight hiker.

I have had a pair for a couple of years and have been very impressed with them. The boots are narrower than others so if you have wide or real flat feet, that may be an issue.
