ALTRA Women's Olympus 5 Hike Mid GTX Waterproof Hiking Boots - Trail Running & Outdoor Adventure Shoes for Women

It’s like hiking in pillows! My feet, knees, hips, and back all feel so much better when I hike now because of these boots! The extra space in the toe box really feels wonderful to me, and the lugs on the bottom make the shoe grip exceptionally well. There’s a loop on the back of the shoe is there so that you’re able to attach a gaiter so that no debris gets in your boot while you hike. I do have issues with my arch, and this boot doesn’t have extra arch support, but there’s plenty of space to add an arch support insert.My only critique is that I wish they had made this one in some prettier colors, but of course, that is such a very minor thing in comparison to everything else. The “6” version does have better colors, but it definitely wasn’t worth $100 more to me to get a color I like. I would say that the dust from hiking blends in nicely with this color, so there’s that. :-)
