Trek 100 Women's Mountain Trekking Boots

I have been going on lengthy walks in lockdown but as the weather was getting wet I decided to upgrade to waterproof boots. These boots seemed comfortable when I tried them in the store but they have caused me terrible pain which forced me to stop going on walks. This is frustrating as it’s one of the few things we can do in lockdown. Let me be clear that I have never suffered from any foot pain and haven’t torn or broken any bones/tendons ever. These boots gave me the worst Achilles heel pain ever (Achilles tendinitis). The pain started gradually and got to the point that I could not get in those boots and walk. I was limping as if I had a fracture. I bought some insoles but this did not make any difference. The minute I stopped wearing and switched to some new balance trainers the pain went away. But it took me various days of rest to get there. I think these boots are very hard and do not absorb any shock, hard surfaces. They do not offer enough support and have been an absolute waste of money. I would not recommend these buy something else. I used to own the cheaper version of the Quechua ones and they were half the price and much better. The reason I went for these is because these are waterproof.

Best shoes for trekking

It's very weighty to track, i have injured my nail while coming down from Hill.

A must buy for all trekkers.... High ankle grip prevents ankle twist... Cross contact grips prevents slipping. Ignore the price.. it's pure quality

I don't know where the issue is, but the shoe caused extreme pain around my big toe area despite there being enough wriggle room from the top and front. Especially while descending, I would scream inside everytime my toe bumped against the front of the shoe, but even while while walking straight, it was nowhere near comfortable. I hobbled around after taking the shoes off and it took a whole night's sleep for my feet to feel normal before the show started again the next day. I'm just thankful I wore them on a really rough bike ride and camping trip to Spiti and not an actual hike/trek or I would have come back with serious trauma to my feet. It did settle down after wearing them continuously for at least 8 hours for almost a month, but that's a very long break-in period by any standards (and also the fact that these were the only hiking shoes I was carrying). Apart from that, the shoe holds firm, no slippage, and seems like it will last long. I just wish it was more of a pleasure to wear.

Brought the shoe for my daughter for a trek in Uttarakhand. The soles were sturdy and comfortable, Is water proof and is insulated enough to keep her feet warm.

The laces snag on the eye hooks causing feet to tie together and you fall over!

These boots seemed comfortable when I bought them at the store, and for the first few walks on plain, level tarmac around the city (I was testing them before my hike). Then I went on a 25 km hike that included steep ascents and descents of 700 meters, and even though the shoes held up well during the ascents, they hurt like nobody's business during the descents. Much of the trail was more or less level, with gentle gradients, but after about 2 hours of walking, the front of my feet (the balls under my toes) started hurting, as if the insoles offered no cushioning whatsoever. I could feel rocks, stones, and the texture of everything on the ground. By the time the path started descending steeply, the bones in my feet were so fatigued with pain that I felt like I was walking on knives. For the last few kilometers, I took off the boots and wore flip flops instead, and then I tried walking barefeet on the tarmac road when we reached the city, and even walking barefoot was more comfortable than walking in these shoes! I tried putting in new, better cushioned insoles at one of our stops, but the pain persisted on the remaining days of the trip, so I'm giving up on these shoes. Do NOT buy! The insoles are horribly cheap, flimsy and offer no support or cushioning. I have not tested the waterproof-ness, but the sheer discomfort of these shoes now have me trawling online for a brand new pair (NOT from Decathlon ever again), less than half a year of buying these shoes!

I was very happy with the purchase, The shoes are worth the price and are really comfortable

Very very comfortable. They did take some wearing in as I got blisters, although I am quite prone to blisters! They are super comfortable however. I bought them 3 years ago. For two years I only wore them occasionally and but spent a month in Ladakh doing a few treks. I have worn them daily for the past year on rocky terrain in Himachal Pradesh and only now has the sole worn down. They are really waterproof and keep your feet warm and dry. I have been deliberating whether to replace like for like and probably would if they came in a different colour (lame I know, but just fancy a change!) Also I trek in hot conditions so am going to try out the other style of mid walking shoes rather than boots (MH100) Should they not be preferable then I will switch back to these! I will post a review of those as a comparison once I receive them!

Used it for a four day trek . it was quite comfortable with no feet getting wet issues. It seemed like a huge task though when I had to frequently get in and out of the shoe.
