XPETIMen’s Thermator Mid-Rise Lightweight Hiking Insulated Non-Slip Outdoor Boots

Had these over a year now. Hike at least once or twice a week, including winter. They have held up great so far. I have had them submerged up passed the ackle in water multiple times and they have kept my feet dry. They are pretty comfy, fit well, and arent too heavy. Tread is holding up well too.

Well worth the price. These are well made. Will keep your feet warm and dry. Great for the outdoors man. Very comfortable.

The Good:Perfect fit. A size 9 fits exactly.Good insulation, laces are good. Eyelets are good.Waterproof. Hike through wet shallow terrain. Dry and warmThe Bad:Rubber compound is soft..Sole lugs are round (human molars). Cuts around each molar lug are deep. A YouTube shows a lug beig ripped off the sole . Pattern is too deep , round, and they need to be sharper. Xpeti lug teeth are for general hiking, very little climbing . Tread pattern should be square or triangles.Update: I have put on many miles on them hiking, bogs, gravel trails. They are comfortable , waterproof, and tough, but slippery on icy terrain.Overall: Upper boot is A+.Need soles for grip and stiffer compound and you have a winner. $ is close to what you get for Columbia or Vasque. I am surprised by how comfortable they are though.

These boots are exactly what I wanted. They are well made with lots of traction and very comfortable. The onlyOnly problem was the website advised to order one size larger. I normally wear a 10 so I ordered a 10 1/2 and they were too big. Sent them back and ordered a size 10. If they don’t fit will write another review but nothing if they fit right. Hoping all goes well as the boots are great. I just got my second pair of these boots and the fit was perfect. As mentioned before they are comfortable however the right boot had a defect with the inside lining folded over just below the ankle causing pain when walking. After checking I saw there was nothing I could short of taking scissors and cutting out the folded lining. I opted to send them back. After two tries I decided to forget getting these boots. Hope you have better luck.

I bought these boots for my trip to Alaska and they didn't disappoint. Very comfortable and warm. They have a nice color making it easy to combine. Made of Good quality. Very affordable choice for the price.I only started feeling cold on after walking 1 hour on snow and with an temperature of -17°F.Recommended.

So far I am very pleased with these boots! Having never heard of this brand before I decided to give them a chance based off of reviews and price point. I’m planning on using these as an early season boot for elk and whitetail hunting. I wear a size 7 but since XPETI doesn’t list a 7.5 I went with a size 8. I like to wear a very thin sock liner and a medium weight alpaca wool sock by Hollow socks, particularly when I’m hiking a lot. These boots seem like they’ll be good for side hilling and rough terrain hiking because of the stiffness of the ankle but time and use will tell as they soften up and get broken in. Regardless, I always like to bring two pair of boots with the spare remaining behind in a gear bag in my truck. I’ll update my review as I get more mileage on them.Edit: Alrighty! I’ve got ten miles rucking in these boots. 40lb sandbag on an Eberlestock F1 Mainframe. I swapped out insoles for a pair of Superfeet “hike, cushion” insoles. The boots show minimal sole wear so far. I can’t attest to waterproofness as I avoid getting my footwear wet as much as possible. Cushioning: excellent. Ankle support: excellent. Laces: lock securely. So far nothing but good to say about these boots except for one little thing. The left boot toe crease (flex point) is right on top of my little toe. This has caused a nasty blister on two separate rucks. I’ve varied my socks and sock liners but that crease just sucks. So, instead of blaming the boot I solved the problem and invested in a roll of Alpine Armor blister tape. WAY better than traditional moleskin! I wrapped my toe in the tape, wore an Injinji sock liner and a medium Point Six hiking sock and away I went. I felt a slight pinch on my toe but nothing like had occurred before. I rucked 3.25 miles. Got home pull off the boots and socks fully expecting another blister. Nope. Nothing. Not even a raw spot. I’m looking forward to using these as my primary boots for my elk hunt in the high country this September. I don’t think that one could go wrong with these at all, especially for the price point.
