Xpeti Womens Thermator Hiking Boot

These hiking boots are amazing! They provide excellent support, traction and stability on both rocky trails and uneven terrain. I recently hiked a challenging mountain trail and my feet felt comfortable and supported the entire time. Excellent support and stability. Keeps your feet secure and comfortable on any terrain. Waterproof and breathable. Keeps your feet dry in wet conditions and prevents overheating. Comfortable fit. True to size and offers a comfortable fit right out of the box. Durable construction. Well-made and built to last. Cons is that they can be a bit heavy but this is to be expected for a sturdy hiking boot. I'm extremely happy with these hiking boots. They're a great investment for any serious hiker and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable and supportive pair of boots.

These boots are real deal and heavy duty! Only 2 concerns to consider: one is that they are a bit on the heavy side and the second is that while I was standing on a wet rock under a waterfall, it didn’t have much grip and my step on the rock was slippery. I love that they are for all weather and waterproof. They are also extremely comfortable.

I’m giving these three stars because they were not what I was expecting. I bought these to wear for work because I work on concrete and I’m on my feet for eight hours a day. I thought these would be much lighter to wear from the description, but they were just too heavy. The boots themselves were great. The only reason I gave three stars just because they were much more than I anticipated.

*Update at the bottom* I originally bought these hiking boots in 2018 for a camping trip to Enchanted Rock, TX. When I first tried them on, they were pretty stiff but incredibly sturdy and comfortable. I broke them in during our trip, hiking trails and doing some bouldering. I wore thick wool socks one day and regular white Nike tube socks another day, but the boots weren't too tight and fit nicely with a little wiggle room if I wore thinner socks. I didn't end up with any blisters, and they were extremely warm and kept my feet cozy. If you've ever been to Enchanted Rock, you know there are a lot of vertical slopes and steep-incline rock faces, but I FELT LIKE SPIDER-MAN SCALING A GLASS SKYSCRAPER because these boots gave me incredible grip and didn't bend or crease at all. Even after walking through dirt, sand, and dust, these gave me the best traction and not once did I feel anxious about slipping the way I would if I was wearing some regular Nike or Adidas running shoes. I was also shocked at how light they felt on my feet and didn't have the clunky, heavy drag of other types of rubber hiking boots. As for being waterproof, they performed just as I expected, passing with flying colors. No amount of mud or rain could infiltrate the seams, and my feet stayed nice and dry after traipsing through muddy fields and rain all day. Fast forward two years to 2020 and they are still in great shape after countless camping trips and hikes. They're a little dusty, but besides that, the laces haven't frayed, the rubber hasn't cracked or started peeling, and the insulation and comfort inside is still super cozy and supportive. I started working at a car shop as a mechanic, and I had planned on ordering some new steel-toed work boots, but in the meantime I wore my Xpeti's. I was once again amazed at how sturdy yet comfortable they were, and even though I have dropped heavy metal wrenches on my feet, stubbed my toes on solid metal machines, and almost had my feet lightly torched, these boots have completely protected my feet. The hard rubber shell around the toe is thick and inflexible, and combined with the padding inside, it prevents anything from actually crushing or banging into my feet- hence the "Iron Man Strength" I mentioned in my headline. And despite being on my feet all day, once again they are extremely comfortable while still providing the support I need. Overall, I would buy these boots 10x over because of how much I love them. They are not only lightweight, have great grip, and are incredibly warm, dry, and comfortable, but they are super sturdy and protect my feet from any damage. If you're looking for a pair of hiking boots, look no further because these are just what you need. It is now 2023 (about to be 2024) and this is my five year update: still going strong. I joined the military and had new boots issued to me for my uniform and let me tell you- these Xpeti’s outdo “military-grade” in every aspect. They’re still sturdy and grippy as ever and I would wear them every day with my uniform if I could. Since my last update I got to test these out in snow and ice (against my will) when we got snowed in at Palo Duro Canyon over a weekend and every part of my body was freezing except for my feet. Yet again they were warm and dry despite trudging through wet snow and ice sludge, and are still no worse for wear. I guess I’ll be doing another update in two years, but I just might run out of good things to say about these boots 😂 It’s 2025 and they’re still alive! Many a mile and adventure I have been on since my last update, and these boots are still kicking. Most recently, I wore them for training and in the Bataan Memorial Ruck March, which is in White Sands, NM. (Basically a 26.2 mile trail through sand/dirt/gravel in the desert with 45lbs on my back and yes, it was terrible.) In terms of comfort/blisters: zero complaints. I didn’t even get to change my socks because I forgot the extras in my car, so my feet were stinkin’ and sweatin’ and they still came out unscathed with my skin intact. However, they were H-O-T, HOT! Honestly, I should’ve known better because they’re insulated so that’s on me, but they are still sturdy as ever and my ankles were grateful for the support. For wear and tear: they are dusty and crusty and I have beaten the insoles to a pulp. At this point, the boots are white as a ghost and practically sole-less (ha ha). The outer soles are still in good shape with no cracking or crumbling, although the right toe cap has begun to lift, which means no more waterproofing :( The outer shell itself also has started to deteriorate just from the sheer amount of use, but nothing exceptional. Laces are good, hooks are good, heels are good…need I continue? At this point in their lifetime, I am still so pleased with how they are holding up despite the abuse they’ve been through. If there’s one thing I’d do differently, I would’ve sized up to make more room for a better insole and still have wiggle room for my feet swelling during normal activities. I mean, really, I’ve had these for almost a decade now and they’re still going strong! I never would have guessed I’d be using them for this long since they’re so much cheaper than a majority of “high-end” hiking boots, but here we are. See you guys in 2027?

These are ok unless you get the insides wet. I bought these because I do a lot of beach wildlife rescues in cold weather. They are waterproof unless the ocean comes in over your ankles. Then the insides are so cushioned that they take almost a week to dry. And now they smell horrible and I have to keep them outside. I may need to replace them. But if you are just hiking through small brooks or something then they would be good.
