Vostey Men's Hiking Boots Waterproof Casual Chukka Boots for Men

I bought these for the sole purpose of having a comfortable boot to walk around in and primarily to have while riding my motorcycle. My other boots were very clunky and stuck out after the ride. These exceeded my expectations and were lighter than I expected! I do use custom inserts, so I can’t speak much on how the boots feel in that aspect - but I do have a bit of a wider foot and I sized up to accommodate that. This boot fit well, and has broken in quite nicely! I would recommend this boot as a casual wear or work boot. I’ve been wearing it in warm 90 degree weather and my feet haven’t been overheating or anything like that. I love the color, and feel like these are a great value for their price!

Very comfortable and stylish! I DJ weddings for a living and have had to work and stand for up to 7 or 8 hours and my feet didn't even hurt the next day. Well made and highly recommended!

I purchased these for the purpose of wearing them on a long motorcycle roadtrip from Ohio to South Dakota / Wyoming (Sturgis). The boots look great and are very comfortable once broken in. I’m typically a 8.5W, but since these don’t come in W, Amazon suggested a 9 and they feel just fine. After daily use during travel for 2 weeks, the quality seems to be pretty solid so far. The BIGGEST (and really the only) disappointment I have is that these were advertised as waterproof. During a 2 week motorcycle trip, I knew I would come across some wet weather and wanted something waterproof so my feet would stay dry. I drove through a rainstorm on my 1st day on the road. These are NOT waterproof!!! I had to dry them using the hand dryers at a rest stop restroom! Despite this, I think it’s definitely worth the $50 I paid.

Needed a quick boot for a trip to Colorado- wore them around the house for an hour decided to keep them... First thing we did was a 5mile hike in fresh snow RMNP- did not get wet at all! Comfortable (enough) for a hike and stylish enough for work. Can see some wear on the fake leather uppers already but hey. Definite bang for the buck. Will snag another pair to stash in the closet.

Fit right and are so comfortable

These shoes were amazing, loved the look, felt comfortable, over i thought they were great. But it's only been 4 months and the soles are coming off, the material is flaking, and there's a lot of discoloration. I'm not particularly active, normally only using these shoes to get to the office and back so this much wear is astonishing.

Good value; very pleasing style!

When I first laid eyes on the Vostey Men’s Hiking Boots, I was immediately captivated by their rugged aesthetic. The robust design, emphasized by the waterproof feature and the unique pattern on the sole, looked like it promised an adventure. But as we all know, appearances can be deceptive. To give you a more comprehensive view, my relationship with these boots is complicated. For someone who’s an avid hiker, my expectations for performance, comfort, and durability are set fairly high. While the boots performed reasonably well in some aspects, they did leave room for improvement in others, making them a mixed bag. 🥾 Aesthetic Appeal: Looks to Impress but Not to Last The Vostey hiking boots are undoubtedly stylish. The first time you put them on, you’ll feel ready to conquer not just mountains but even casual social outings. However, the aesthetic quality comes with a caveat: durability. After a few hikes, the material started to show signs of wear, and the color began to fade slightly. For boots designed for the rough terrains, this is somewhat disappointing. 🌧️ Waterproofing: More Like Water-Resistant One of the main features that drew me to these boots was the promise of waterproofing. While they did keep my feet dry in light rain, they were not able to hold up under more severe wet conditions. They are more water-resistant than waterproof, so don’t expect them to be your savior in a downpour or during a stream crossing. 👟 Comfort and Fit: A Tale of Two Stories The initial fitting was snug and comfortable; however, that comfort started to wane on longer hikes. They’re fine for short walks or even a half-day of moderate hiking, but anything beyond that and you’ll start to notice some discomfort in the arch and heel areas. 🛠️ Construction and Material: Robust Yet Not Invincible These boots appear to be built like a tank. The soles are made of durable material designed to grip rocky terrains, and the overall construction feels sturdy. But as mentioned before, the upper part of the boots didn’t withstand the test of time and adventures as well as I had hoped. 💰 Pricing: Middle of the Road Considering the mixed performance, the price point is justifiable but not a steal. There are definitely better options available if you’re willing to invest a bit more for top-tier hiking boots. However, if you’re on a budget and looking for something to get you through less demanding terrains, these boots can be a consideration. 🤔 Final Thoughts and Summary In conclusion, the Vostey Men’s Hiking Boots are a mixed bag. They do offer a level of style, basic waterproofing, and initial comfort. However, they lack in areas of long-term durability and sustained comfort on more challenging terrains. These boots are not your go-to for intensive hiking expeditions but could serve you well for short hikes and casual wear. My experience was neither overwhelmingly positive nor entirely negative, landing these boots a solid 3-star rating. If you’re a casual hiker looking for a reasonably priced pair of boots that can also serve as stylish daily wear, these might be worth a try. But if you’re planning on rigorous hiking adventures, you might want to look elsewhere. Thank you for reading, and I hope this review aids you in your decision-making process.
