Expert Reviews
- Does not have the excellent traction that hikers may want on uphill climbs.
- Do not grip well on ice, although snow is no problem.
Summary:
The Forsake Patch Hiking Boot for women is a stylish, superbly waterproof boot for walking around in all weather (snow, rain, and cold temperatures are no problem) and going on day hikes. These boots are not really made for long, technical hikes or backpacking as they do not have the kind traction or ankle support required for hard use, but they do shine as a travel and adventure boot because of their versatility and comfort.
