I've had these a little over 2 months now and love them. Had a couple pressure points the first couple wears but since then they've been perfect. Comfortable fit and great for wet conditions. I love that these aren't super clunky looking too - they offer a lot of function while still being stylish. The sole is good and grippy and the added support around the ankle is comfortable. Looking forward to more adventures with these!

I wore these on a 5 mile hike on their first day out. I had to get used to the initial bulk, but I found them to be sturdy, gripped well, and while they were stiffer than my sneakers, comfortable enough to keep on for 5 hours. They are one of only two styles that are VEGAN and they are waterproof so yay.

Loving - loving - LOVING these boots!! I ordered a half size up but I think my normal size would've been fine. I injured my ankle a while back and these come up to the ankle and provide additional support. These are made well; designed to hug your foot in all the right spots.
Took these out to The Pinnacles and my feet did not feel tire at all! The grip is amazing & was put to the test with the different terrain. Shoes are on the lighter side, breathable and did amazing on wet surfaces.

Very comfortable with true fit giving enough space for comfort esp for hiking
Hightops give support for quick turns and climbing. Would definitely buy these again

These shoes are perfect for winter walks on or off trails, rain, mud and even in snow. Comfy, warm and dry, who needs more?

These are so comfortable and lightweight. The ankle height adds just the right amount of support, without being stiff. They tread is nice and really helps in slippery conditions. Even though they aren't insulated, with wool socks, my feet stay nice and warm because they aren't getting wet. These are my new favs!

These are very waterproof and wearing them all day was just fine. I spent today birding in a wildlife management area a day with an inch of freezing rain melting. I am 65 and not thin. I walked a few mucky miles and, with some very nice buffalo down socks, my feet stayed dry and felt exactly correctly. supported.

Gift for my wife. One short break-in hike and one more challenging muddy trail hike. So far, she loves them!

I wanted some winter weather hiking boots, but I especially wanted boots that would work with snowshoes. These fit the bill for me.

Boots are exactly what I was looking for--lightweight, hiking shoe with some ankle support. Great color combination!

I'm really impressed with this shoe. I bought it more as a fall/winter shoe. It doesn't disappoint! It's a really warm shoe. I will not be wearing this in the summer. Too hot, but for the cold weather it's great! And I can wear it on wet grass for hours and my feet don't get wet. Also, it has great traction and grip. I would most certainly purchase this shoe again.

I would probably need to go up a half size from my normal size 10 in these boots in order to fit my thick hiking socks. These may have been the ones except that they didn't come up quite high enough over my ankles. They felt kind of like high top sneakers, lightweight, and decently comfy, but not quite what I need for hiking rocky trails where I need great ankle support. They are super cute on and don't make my feet look gigantic even though they are!

These boots are okay. They are relatively light weight for hiking boots. They had the littlest bit of arch support (not enough arch support for me but the insoles are removable and I have very high arches). They were tall enough to give ankle support (although they rubbed my ankles on a short hike but that may be because my ankles roll a lot on the uneven surfaces). They did hold up on a hike in a thin layer of slushy snow/mud/puddles. Felt true to size - I wear a size 8 typically but normally do an 8 1/2 in running shoes and the 8 1/2 here I had enough room to wear thick hiking socks.

I like that these boots are vegan - found it so hard to get both vegan and nice looking waterproof boots at a good price. But after a hike in a couple inches of snow, my feet ended up damp due to seepage at the toes. I agree with another poster that the ankles are stiff and pinch a little when leaning forwards - but I also don't believe I had enough time to break them in. Customer service was excellent in offering a refund and I chose a different pair (MQM flex) instead.

This hiking shoe is light and flexable, but pinched me on my ankles as I flexed forward. I have hiked in it twice once for 3 hours and yesterday for 4 hours. It is not torsionally stable enough for rocky terrain. seems like it is more suited for shorter easier hikes. I would not purchase the Zion FST again, nor could I recommend it to anyone.
