TEVA Women's Grandview Gore-Tex Durable Waterproof Hiking Boots sand dune

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.

I have used this product for a total of 5 days. I mostly use these shoes when I go to the dog park with my dog and it is pretty good. It is super light weight and best of all... WATERPROOF. It was easy to clean. I did use it to hike Mount Rainier and the boots were so light my feet was not "dying" at the end of the trip. I highly recommend it and would buy it again if I ever need a replace (which I highly doubt). 3 words to summarize the grandview GTX = lightweight, durability, cute
