Hunter Explorer Leather Boot

Product Information

We've tested these boots' weather protection by wading in the chilly Clark Fork River of Western Montana, the Puget Sound on a blustery 25° F day, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River on a month-long river trip, the Yakima and Snoqualmie Rivers as they flow out of the snowy Cascades, and in the Atlantic Ocean on the Maine Coast. And because your rain boots will only be as comfortable and warm as your socks, it's worth checking out our favorite hiking socks! Weight also plays a big role in comfort — have you heard the idea (popular for ultralight backpackers) that a pound on your feet equals six pounds on your back?

A caveat about the low boots: they're practical as long as you won't get into deep water, as some are only waterproof to a few inches. Our testers have high arches and generally wear Superfeet Green insoles for general use (these were our favorites from our best insole review).
