Desert scrambles, muddy mountain slogs, casual hikes in the woods – the Chaco Men’s Leather Mid eVent Hiking Shoe can do it all. Chaco backed up the nubuck leather upper with a waterproof breathable eVent membrane for full weather protection on and off the trail. You’ll enjoy comfortable and supported hiking through the last mile thanks to the EVA midsole and rigid nylon shank. The Trek-Dri lining comes from bamboo and wicks moisture and controls odor along with the BioCentric footbed. The sticky Getagrip rubber outsole holds fast to slick trails and wet rock.
Bottom Line: On trail, off trail – this shoe loves it all.

Comfortable, supportive, and lightweight. 10-31-08
At 15oz, these are some the lightest hiking boots you will find that are leather and waterproof. They also have excellent arch support, I have never worn a any shoe that has had good arch support until I wore these. If you are like me and usually get arch pains after hiking for a long time, then you will appreciate these boots. These boots are also wider in the forefoot, like all Chacos, which is nice because you can layer warm socks in the winter when the temperature drops and not pinch your toes. I found that these boots fit true to size, I normally wear a 9-9.5 and either size fit me great, but I went with the 9.5 so I could layer socks. Chaco sandals are a whole size too big though, I have the Z2 sandals in a size 8.
Go for it....I hate buying shoes mail order, but picked a winner this time. Size yourself up half a size for extra comfort if you have the wide Fred Flintstone foot. I may wear them to my wedding next week. They are that comfortable, besides couples should wear hiking boots to their wedding as a sybolic gesture of the journey they are about to take.

Great Shoes!!! I had previously had a pair of Chaco Beckwith heavy duty hiking boots. I was so pleased with those that I purchased the Canyonlands and they fit like a glove. The most comfortable shoes out of the box I have ever had. I do have narrow feet(B-med width) but my Chaco boots are the best!
