Is the Forsake Wild Sky Mid actually waterproof?

Yes. It uses a waterproof membrane with taped seams, so it handles rain, wet grass and shallow puddles. It is not a wading boot.

How does it fit compared to a regular sneaker?

It fits like a sneaker with a slightly roomier toe box for hiking socks. Most buyers take their normal women's size; those between sizes often size up.

Is it good for serious backpacking?

No. It is a day-hike and travel boot. The EVA midsole and shank give moderate support, but heavy packs and rough scree call for a stiffer boot.

Can I wear it around town?

Yes. The sneaker-boot shape and textile-and-leather upper work with everyday clothes, and the rubber outsole is fine on pavement.

What is the upper made of?

Heathered textiles and premium leathers, with visible laces and a mid-top collar. The mix keeps it lighter and less stiff than an all-leather hiking boot.

How does it compare with the Forsake Patch?

The Patch is a lower, more casual sneaker. The Wild Sky Mid adds a mid-top collar, a waterproof membrane with taped seams and a more aggressive outsole for trail use.

About the Forsake Women's Wild Sky Mid Boot

The Forsake Wild Sky Mid is a women's waterproof sneaker boot built for hiking and everyday wear. It pairs heathered textiles and leather with a Peak-to-Pavement rubber outsole, an EVA midsole and a shank for support on uneven ground. Taped seams keep moisture out, and antimicrobial treatment helps control odor. It sits between a trail runner and a hiking boot: lighter and more flexible than a stiff backpacking boot, but with more ankle coverage and weather protection than a low sneaker.

Best forDay hikers who want a sneaker feelWomen who wear one shoe from trail to townWet-weather walks and light trailsTravelers packing a single versatile boot

Pros

Waterproof build with taped seams
Peak-to-Pavement rubber outsole grips trail and pavement
