Teva Women's Grandview GTX Hiking Boot THYME

So these shoes are like walking on a cloud. You don't even know you have it on. I used it for hiking 10+ miles and my feet were not in pain. It fits like a glove. I was suppose to be testing them out and ended up wanting everyone I knew to buy a pair. Amazing! I just say that when I got them wet that was NOT a good feeling. They dried in the dryer fast but do not get them wet and have to walk a distance. I usually hike in sneakers for the most part b/c I couldn't find anything I like ... but these are officially my favorite hiking boots. The buck stops here

I purchased these for a road trip though Utah to easily hike and camp. Pros: 1. Easy to wear the first time you wear them. I didn't get blisters and it was easy to walk up a gravel hill multiple times. 2. Flexible boot meaning it moved with my foot. Some hiking boots are super stiff. These feel like a cross between a shoe and a boot. 3. Good looking Things to consider, but these are still my fav hiking boot to date so I would still buy and recommend them: 1. The toe area is really spacious, it weirds me out when I think about it, but when I don't think about it, it's nice to have that flexibility in the toes. I can tighten the boot and ankle but the shoelaces don't go down to the toes themselves. I grew up in the 90s where you tie your foot into your shoe so it can't move at all, so this spaciousness just feels strange but also feels like freedom for my toes and the ball of my foot. Now, if I read this review before buying them, I wouldn't have bought them. So if you like your foot locked into a shoe but you think these are cute, get them anyway! 2. They run big. I've never worn larger than a size 7 shoe, yet the 7.5 or 8 is the best fit due to my toes hitting the size 7 shoe. I went with 7.5 which gives me just a bit of room between my tip toes and the shoe. 3. They are kind of hard to tie tight. There's something about the boot lace-ups that make it hard to reallllllly lock your foot in. I do it, but it takes some effort.
