Is the Forsake Thatcher actually waterproof?

Yes. It has a waterproof membrane behind a full-grain leather and textile upper. Owners report dry feet in rain and wet grass, though the leather benefits from occasional conditioning.

It runs true to size for most women, with a round toe and a secure lace-up fit. Those between sizes or planning thick socks may want to size up.

Can I wear it for real hikes?

It handles day hikes, groomed trails and wet weather well. The flat heel and casual build make it less suited to steep, rocky or technical terrain.

About 32 ounces for the pair. That is heavier than most trail sneakers, which owners notice on long days.

Does it need breaking in?

Most owners report little break-in. The leather can feel stiff at first on steep ground, so short walks first help.

What is the shaft height?

About 5.12 inches, a mid-top that covers the ankle without restricting movement.

Our take on the Forsake Thatcher Women's Boot

The Forsake Thatcher is a women's mid-top lace-up boot built for hiking but styled for everyday wear. It pairs a full-grain leather and heathered textile upper with a waterproof membrane, an EVA midsole and a rubber outsole with peak-to-pavement traction. The flat heel and 5.12-inch shaft give it a sneaker-boot look that works on trails and city streets. It suits hikers who want one shoe for both, though at 32 ounces per pair it is heavier than many trail sneakers.
