About this product

These vintage Brooks men's hiking boots, size US 11.5, feature a brown suede and leather upper with a padded, cushioned ankle for enhanced comfort. Designed with a lace-up closure and a round toe, they are suitable for activewear, casual, travel, and workwear across fall, spring, and winter seasons. The boots include a leather lining, insole, and outsole, with '90s' and 'Hiking' themes. Crafted in China, they are part of the Brooks product line.

Our take

Taking a look at these vintage Brooks hiking boots, I'm drawn to their classic aesthetic and the promise of comfort with the padded and cushioned ankle. The blend of suede and leather for the upper, along with the full leather lining and insole, suggests a quality feel and potential for good breathability, although initial break-in might be required. They're versatile enough for various casual and active uses. The leather outsole, however, is a notable point; while traditional and potentially durable, it typically offers less traction than a rubber outsole on varied terrain, especially in wet conditions. Given their '90s vintage, I'd also expect some pre-owned character.
