Is the Forsake Cascade Peak Mid actually waterproof?

Yes. Forsake lists it as waterproof, and owners report dry feet in rain and on wet trails. It is a waterproof boot, not a fully submersible one.

How does it fit compared with a regular hiking boot?

It is built on a sneaker last with a mid-cut shaft and a 1 1/2 in heel, so it feels lighter and more flexible than a leather backpacking boot. Some owners say the sizing and support were not what they expected, so try before you commit.

Is it good for serious backpacking?

No. The compression EVA midsole and sneaker-boot build suit day hikes and light loads. For heavy packs or rough rock, a stiffer boot is a better match.

What kind of outsole does it have?

A MultiGrip rubber lug outsole with a dense rubber heel, which Forsake says gives enhanced slip resistance. Owners say the grip holds on mixed trail surfaces.

Who is the Cascade Peak Mid made for?

Men who want a waterproof, mid-cut hiking boot with a sneaker feel for day hikes, wet commutes and travel. It is not built for heavy packs or technical rock.

About the Forsake Cascade Peak Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots

The Forsake Cascade Peak Mid is a men's waterproof hiking boot built like a sneaker, with a lace-up mid-cut upper, compression EVA midsole and a MultiGrip rubber lug outsole. It is aimed at hikers who want trail grip and weather protection without a stiff, heavy leather boot. Its sneaker-boot shape sets it apart from traditional leather hikers, though the small number of ratings means long-term durability is still unproven.
