“Are these somewhat water-resistant like the non-canvas boots? Would these be suitable for hiking? Nothing too extreme, mostly just trails and maybe streams/mud.”

I think these are best for cruising around town. They are not water resistant, and they are super light-weight. Answered on 5/3/2018 8:40:44 AM by Forest Gump from Montana

I haven't hiked in them, but I wouldn't think they would work well in the wet or mud. They're more about style than functionality. Although I still like the spongy foot bed. Answered on 5/3/2018 8:41:35 AM by Jon from Chicago

Hi,

I've only worn them once.I doubt they are water resistant. They don't have much support , so I would be hesitant taking too long a hike in them. I'd advise using some kind of liner or pad with them. Answered on 5/3/2018 8:47:38 AM by Paul from Michigan

These are not listed as water resistant. Answered on 5/3/2018 9:11:52 AM by Product Specialist from Sierra Trading Post

I would think so..I haven't worn them yet. But, I live in Seattle and plan to use them in the rain. I would probably use some water resistant spray, beforehand. Answered on 5/3/2018 9:19:44 AM by City girl from Seattle

I sprayed them with water repellent and hiked for hours. They are a summer boot, so no socks or thin socks work well. I bought two pair and glad I did! Answered on 5/3/2018 9:28:35 AM by Jude from Wisconsin

I have a pair of Blundstone suede/leather and these. My leather ones were $180. These were $25. I absolutely love these canvas ones and have them in two colors. I wish they had the others in my sizes. It looks like they have very few left and only in Red.



Now, to your question. These are not as sturdy as the leather ones. They are much lighter weight. I look forward to wearing them in warmer weather. When I got mine, I sprayed them with some scotchgaurd to protect them. They are a very durable canvas and have a great sole. That being said, they have little air holes on sides and they are canvas. So I would wear them in water. The nice thing is, I would think they could be hosed off rather well. But I would think a good pair of hiking boots might be more suitable for mud and streams.

Not water resistant. Answered on 5/3/2018 12:34:26 PM by Callie from colorado

I bought these for my son, he would say not water resistant and certainly not for hiking. They are casual knock-around shoes. Answered on 5/3/2018 2:19:41 PM by Mountain Momma from Portland
