A trusty pair of hiking boots goes a long way - and our hiking boot reviews will help you find a reliable pair for your use. We test each of these in both lab and outdoor conditions so that each pair has a chance to strut its stuff - to sink or to swim. We review all kinds of hiking boots, whether you're on the hunt for something chunky or barefoot, winter-ready or primed for summer, or even something mid-cut or high-cut.
