Men’s Crest Thermo Waterproof Hiking Boots

I bought these to use mostly snowshoeing. First major snow of the year here in the Northeast and these boots are comfortable, warm and dry out in the snow. We'll see how they hold up but very good for the price point and true to size.

Love these boots. Warm and comfortable. This is my second pair of this style and I have a pair, from the same manufacturer, from a few years ago. I wear them all. Price ain't bad either.

I bought one pair of them, the more aggressive hiking boot, I liked the look. But, I had my doubts because they were less expensive than merrels, my other favorite shoe/boot, got my first order in, and I like them so much, I’ve now purchased more/different models. Which brings me to this pair here. My other pairs of Xpetis are leather. And are much stiffer, these are a nylon material which forms to your foot instantly, more like a real snow shoe. Which makes them extremely comfortable as soon as you put them on. The sole, is more of a flat look, without the arch in the sole, but plenty of arch inside for the foot. This is to give you more area of the boot on the ground. For ice and snow, traction Plenty of grip on the sole, solid firm feel on the ground. To me, a good boot for a good price, I’m a 9 in a merrel, these are true to fit for me. Buy them, you’ll be happy you did.

Great value! Fit to size. Easy lace ! Surprised quality for an “off” brand.

So far, these are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. I have not tested them in snow as of yet, but they feel very warm with just one layer of wool socks on. I have hiked with them and had to cross over water. For what it's worth, my feet never felt wet. Lacing them up is a breeze, but it's also cool that they send you a regular pair of shoe laces if you're old school.

Overall these boots are impressive for the price. I work in landscape maintenance and construction and put my boots through hell. These boots have outlasted my Redwings, timberland pro and carolinas. I need boots that are light weight, water resistant, durable and comfortable and these fit the bill. My work boots typically lasts for 6-9 months and that's because the outer soles start to come apart. I have had these for 6 months and everything is still intact, although the threads are showing wear, which is expected as I typically walk 9-17 miles a day on dirt, mud, asphalt and concrete. I will say that the insoles are not the most comfortable but it's not a problem for me because I always use other insoles. The quick lace/tying setup is nice and durable. Waterproof these boots are not. Standing in water for more than 10 minutes and your feet will be wet. I will be buying again

My 2nd pair of XPETI . My first pair was the Highland and they have been beat , I've worn them thru rain/mud/snow and even screwed studs into the thick grippy soles to be able to walk on the bad ice we had last season and they are great / fit great and even though not winter shoes keep my feet warm rather well . Just purchased these Crest boots for Christmas . Super nice, very light and same grippy tread as my Highlands. The fit to size, I got them a size 11 ( I take usually an 10.5) to wear with a bit heavier sock. The instructions do mention that these shoes should be retreated with waterproofing spray after some use and cleaning . I will probably do this once a month during the winter snows. Very Happy with both pair and XPETI is my go to brand.

Update: I'm upgrading my original review to 5 stars now that I've owned these boots for several seasons. Real-world, long-term testing has proven these are exceptional! Build Quality: These are exceptionally well-constructed boots that have stood the test of time. The craftsmanship is solid, the materials are high-quality, and they've maintained their integrity through multiple seasons of regular use. Yes, they're a bit more substantial than lightweight hiking boots, but that robust build is exactly why they've lasted so well and provide superior protection on the trail or shoveling snow in the driveway or walking the snowy cold wet streets of NYC in the winter. Performance - Where They Really Matter: I specifically purchased these for winter hiking, and they've exceeded my expectations. My feet stay warm and completely dry even in cold, wet, snowy conditions. This is the true test of a winter boot, and these pass with flying colors. Fit & Comfort: The sizing is accurate—order your normal size and you'll be good to go. The fit is comfortable right out of the box and only gets better as they break in. Long-term verdict: After several years of ownership, I'm genuinely thrilled with these boots. They've proven their value through consistent performance, durability, and reliability. When a product performs this well over multiple seasons, you know you've made a smart investment. Bottom line: If you need dependable winter hiking boots that will keep your feet warm, dry, and comfortable for years to come, these are an excellent choice. Highly recommend based on real-world experience!

Incredibly comfortable shoe. rugged and well made. Its well insulated so make sure you purchase a size larger or if you like wearing thick socks, then consider a size and a half larger. Even though its well insulated, it breathes well as I live in Brisbane, Australia its comfortable wearing in our sub-tropical climate.

Tested them in cold weather for a few months, very happy with the performance. My feet remain warm at -22C for over an hour while shovelling. While visiting Quebec City spent 4 hours walking in snowy conditions at -10C. Most importantly they do not make my feet sweat. Just right, comfortable and warm i recommend them for temperature between -10C and -22C for up to 4 hours.

Légère, design innovateur et confortable. Un prix bien en dessous des comparable de sa catégorie. XPETI, un nom à retenir!

Super comfortable . Cannot feel the wind and 100% waterproof. Grip is also really good

One shoe was extremely comfortable but the other had a manufacturing defect on the inside which caused painful rubbing on my foot.
