Best Overall Hiking Boot
Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid GTX
Behold: The ultimate hiking boot for men is the Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid GTX. It has the durability you need for scrambling or mastering more technical hiking routes, thanks to the polyurethane-coated leather upper. And yet somehow each shoe weighs less than 1 pound, so it feels more like a trail runner than a boot. These hiking boots are also flexible, which works comes in handy for winding paths.
The Gore-Tex waterproofing technology is developed by the same company that made insulated cables for the Apollo 11 moon landing, and the All Terrain Contagrip keeps its stability on any terrain. Consider this pair a no-brainer as a gift for hikers of all kinds.
Pros
- Suitable for all terrains
