27 Pairs Of Comfy Shoes That’ll Help You Keep Up With Your Travel Group This Fall

And here’s what BF editor Jenae Sitzes — who owns these boots — has to say:

“Reviewers swear these don’t even have a break-in period, making them a great pickup for that last-minute outdoorsy trip where hiking and rough terrain are on the docket. Note that it’s recommended to go up a half size in these boots to accommodate thicker hiking socks, and I found that to be true when I picked up these shoes myself — I’m normally an 8 but found an 8.5 in these to be totally comfortable. I also found that they hold up well even on my first hike — though I did admittedly still have some soreness around my heel area, this was after a hard, 7+ mile hike with lots of rocks and climbing, so I don’t blame the shoes. They felt comfortable right out of the box and super supportive when I was clamoring over rocks and rough terrain. And though I only stepped in water a couple of times briefly, my socks stayed dry too. I got the brown color with red laces as pictured above, and they’re even cuter in person, which is just another plus.”

Promising review: “I bought these for my two-week national park road trip. Used them almost daily on hikes and several more times after the trip. These shoes are extremely comfortable, stiff around the ankles, and they saved my feet on many occasions. They are def waterproof, slip-resistant, and offer great grip while hiking. Totally recommend!” —Marta
