Forsake Clyde II - Men's Waterproof Leather Hiking Shoe

Pricey but seemingly well made. I've only used them for about a month at this point; they are holding up great.TL;DRProsWater and snow resistant - as much as a shoe can be. This is also a conNice looking - no 'I HIKE' vibeCushy base, overall pretty comfortable - One caveatCons -Pricey - worthwhile if they hold up to a year or more but that remains to be seen.Water resistant - water stays out, sweat stays in. Swamp foot. You'll need to air them out after use. It's the price we pay.Comfort - THIS IS MY SINGLE BIGGEST ISSUE. The left shoe wears fine. The right rubs the F out of my Achilles tendon. Not in a 'going to be a blister' kind of way, more of a pressure/pinch situation. The heel is moderately sore after using them to hike. The source seems to be a seam in the back heel of the shoe. I can't figure out why exactly, but it's infuriating. Temporary solution is to wear very thick socks - it cures the issue but in a shoe that is already swampy it's counter productive unless hiking in very cold temps. Summer doing this would be brutal and for $140 it shouldn't be this way. I have to think it's a defect in the right shoe or I would have the same issue in the left, which I do not.That said I did 4 miles today in shin deep snow and there was 0 outside moisture getting in and my feet stayed pleasantly toasty.They would be 5 star if not for this discomfort issue.I will see about returning and update the review with the outcome.

I needed a waterproof boot that I could walk my dog in the rain with, go on light hikes, and travel in. After doing a lot of research, I decided to go with these. I was pretty apprehensive at first since I've never heard of this brand before, and no retail store carries their boots, but I couldn't be any happier with this purchase. The fit was perfect. I'm exactly a size 11, and thats what I ordered. The boots are extremely comfortable and light. No break in period is needed. What i also like about these boots is that they are stylish enough where you can wear them around town without looking like you are in extreme hiking boots, but also go hiking and look like you've got the right boot for the job.

I just wish they would get on board with widening the toe box a little. Size was right, but little toe rubbed. Sadly, too late too return after a painful 10 mile hike-- wont be wearing these anywhere. Weird to make such a narrow toe box on a hiking shoe. They are a good color combo but that doesnt matter if it hurts to wear them.

This is a great boot for support, and comfort. They are wonderful to walk in . This is my second pair and I will buy them again.

Great shoes! Are broad and are exceptionally comfortable to wear. Hiked in pouring rain today - feet stayed perfectly dry.

Ok so I’ve had some issues with Forsakes on their shoe sizes in the past, I’m a 13 US and these Clydes fit perfect. I’ve bought another pair (different style; driggs) and they were too tight of fit for me which is a bummer cause 14 was out or impossible to find on amazon. Forsake does usually give you some good quality shoes and I never fear getting my feet wet going out into wet or snowy weather.

I came fast and its good quality its nice for wolking and wear just its litle big thank to seller

Very strange. I bought both the gunmetal and black/cypress versions of this shoe. The gunmetal was too narrow but the black/cypress fit me perfectly. In fact, the black/cypress is the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. I hope Forsake continues to make this style.
