Chaco Canyonland Leather Mid eVent Hiking Shoe - Men's

Chaco Canyonland Leather Mid eVent Hiking Shoe - Men's description

Desert scrambles, muddy mountain slogs, casual hikes in the woods the Chaco Mens Leather Mid eVent Hiking Shoe can do it all.

Bottom Line: On trail, off trail this shoe loves it all.

For their purpose, they are an excellent pair of boots. Even though they are medium width, the room in the toe box is a pleasure for my wide feet. Haven't worn them a lot, but will get the chance during the holidays. That will tell the tale.

At 15oz, these are some the lightest hiking boots you will find that are leather and waterproof. They also have excellent arch support, I have never worn a any shoe that has had good arch support until I wore these. If you are like me and usually get arch pains after hiking for a long time, then you will appreciate these boots. These boots are also wider in the forefoot, like all Chacos, which is nice because you can layer warm socks in the winter when the temperature drops and not pinch your toes. I found that these boots fit true to size, I normally wear a 9-9.5 and either size fit me great, but I went with the 9.5 so I could layer socks. Chaco sandals are a whole size too big though, I have the Z2 sandals in a size 8.

Go for it....I hate buying shoes mail order, but picked a winner this time. Size yourself up half a size for extra comfort if you have the wide Fred Flintstone foot. I may wear them to my wedding next week. They are that comfortable, besides couples should wear hiking boots to their wedding as a sybolic gesture of the journey they are about to take.Mountain Norm
