Description of Kayland Convert Backpacking Boot - Women's:
The Kayland Women’s Convert Boots are lightweight, nimble, and supportive enough for your most ambitious treks. The Lycra-infused suede uppers resist abrasion yet flex for comfort during strenuous ten-mile hikes. The last’s enhanced rocker promotes a natural, forward rolling motion, so you can push for the summit with the agility you’d expect from trail runners. The EVA midsoles absorb impact, and the arch and heel TPU stabilizers make for confident footing. These boots’ Convert lacing system features anatomical, asymmetrical lacing, extended for a precise fit all the way to your toes. Free floating lace points allow the uppers to conform to your foot’s shape and movements without pinching, while the ankle lock system adds support and prevents energy-wasting, blister-causing foot slop. Knurled rubber toe caps protect your feet from hidden dangers on the trail.
Bottom Line: Convert to flexible, lightweight support.
These boots fit and feel great. I have a narrow heel, high instep and am wide across the ball of my foot...very hard to find a great fit. The toe box on these boots is perfect, roomy but not boxy. My heel does not slide and because there are so many eyelets, I can lace them to have room for my high instep. It would be very hard to roll your ankle in these boots because the stability is great. My one complaint...the green pea puke color...LOL. But then I'm not out there for a fashion statement! Buy them...you won't regret it!
these boots fit great and are extremely stable. they are also light for a backpacking boot, and don't make your foot look giant. i wore them backpacking the narrows in Zion national park and they held up great. i would definitely recommend these.
These shoes are awesome. They are my first pair of hiking boots, and I couldn't have chosen a better pair. It's like 4-wheel drive for my feet - I can go anywhere with them! They are sturdy, they have good support, and are nice-looking on top of that. Not only that, but if you wear them under jeans, they look like regular shoes.
