The Best Boots For Backcountry Hiking
This review assesses four pairs of backcountry hiking boots tested over three years. The Topo Athletic Trailventure Waterproof offered comfort but lacked durability. Scarpa Zodiac Plus GTX boots were durable but experienced shrinkage and lace compatibility issues. Kenetrek Hardscrabble Hikers are extremely durable but caused blisters due to poor fit. The Lowa Camino Evo GTX is recommended as the best overall, balancing durability and comfort with features like ball-bearing eyelets.
