14 Best Men's Hiking Boots for Every Type of Trail

"“I love these boots. I used them while traveling through Costa Rica recently with National Geographic Expeditions,” says travel writer Keith Langston of Oboz’ Sypes hiking boots. Not only is the boots’ nubuck leather upper stylish enough to wear out for a post-hike beer, the cushioned midsole is made with the brand’s proprietary Bloom, a plant-based foam made with renewable algae biomass. “During the trip, we hiked through shrublands, jungles, coffee plantations, and even up a volcano. These boots worked perfectly for all of those environments and, unless it's winter, these are my new go-to boots for hardcore hiking,” says Langston."
