Forsake Waterproof Men’s Hiking Boots, Size 9, Black Leather, Lace Up

Our take

These Forsake Waterproof Men’s Hiking Boots are a straightforward option for winter hiking, especially given their waterproof feature and black leather upper, which is always a classic look. The lace-up closure and ankle shaft style provide standard support. Available in a men's US size 9, they cater to a common foot size. My main concern, similar to another Forsake boot, is the leather outsole material. While it contributes to the overall aesthetic, for serious hiking in varied winter conditions, a rubber outsole typically offers superior traction and durability. For casual winter walks or light trails, these could be perfectly adequate, but for more challenging terrain, I'd approach with caution.
