Timberland Cadion Mid Gore-Tex XCR Membrane Hiking Boot - Women's - 2007 BCS

This is a well-made, sturdy, yet stylish, boot. After reading the reviews, I ordered a 1/2 size up, unfortunately, the fit was too narrow for my slightly wider than average foot.

I just took these boots out for a 3-day trip of scrambling, rock hopping, and scree skiing. Any other pair of boots this light would have been shredded, but these survived with nary a broken seam. In fact, many of the seams are sealed making them impenetrable. The boot feels a bit like a stiff trail running shoe underfoot with the ankle support of a bigger boot (perfect!). The rubber is super sticky even on slick rocks. You can tell this is a boot Ed Viesturs designed! Be aware that it runs narrow. It might be a tad bit too narrow for me. I ended up ordering a half size bigger than I normally do in hiking boots. I hope Timberland makes this in multiple widths soon.

The moment I took these well-rated boots out of the box, I knew they were too narrow in the toe box for my tiny 5.5 medium width foot. I had upped by size to a 6 based on other user reviews but still could barely stuff my foot in. I have never had to buy a wide shoe so I know it's the cut of the boot. If you're looking for some wiggle room for your toes, this boot is defintely not the right choice.

Love these boots! true to size and comfortable from day one. sloshed through several creeks and lasted long muddy rainy days in temperatures ranging from 25 to 50 degrees.

Wore these boots all summer - hiking through forests, over rocks, etc, and never had a problem. They are very supportive for ankles and at the end of the day my feet never hurt. They fit great and I'll be using them until they wear out.
