Are these boots good for real hiking?

For easy trails, park paths and packed dirt, yes. For steep, rocky or wet routes, the mild tread and non-waterproof upper are limiting, so look at a proper hiking boot.

No. The faux leather and mesh upper is not sealed, so rain and wet grass will get through. A water-repellent spray helps a little but does not make them waterproof.

They come in medium width and run true to size for most buyers. If you wear thick work socks or have wide feet, consider sizing up half a size.

Can I wear them for work?

Yes, for casual and light-duty jobs. They lack a steel toe and electrical hazard rating, so they are not suited to construction sites or industrial safety requirements.

What is the ankle height?

The shaft is about 2 inches, a mid-cut that covers the ankle bone. It gives some support without the restriction of a tall boot.

How should I care for them?

Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth and let them air dry away from direct heat. A conditioning product for synthetic leather and occasional water repellent spray will extend their life.
