One thing I forgot.. I wear my terex 2.0 at work and my job varies so much that I need a boot that can handle construction sites but that can also walk 40 to 50,000 steps a day.. some days I can do 30 mi ... So we can handle all those miles like a running sneaker I have worn it to climb trees and I've also worn it in water and I'm don't have much body fat so I don't really float but when I have these boots on I actually float I thought that was so crazy neat when it first discovered that.. this is easily one of the most versatile boots I've ever worn The only thing it doesn't have is a steel toe but you can't put that in that kind of boot but other than that this thing can do everything that a boot and a sneaker can do

My 60 year old feet are thankful for the Terrex Boost line. The Made with Nature versions are my all around urban exploration, yard work and light hiking shoes. I slipped on a brand new pair the day before 5-10 mile days in airports and around Chicago in March. Then I went hiking in them. Haters are gonna hate, though.

No, it’s not the boost that keeps you from feeling the rocks. It’s the Continental rubber with the larger lugs. I’ve hiked in ultra boost, and I hiked in the continental rubber with the large lugs. The larger lugs on the terrex help with digging into the dirt so you don’t slip and rock that are poking out on the dirt the boost is just there for that comfort and every step.

There's also one small addition I would add about older foam and maybe why it wasn't used. Back in the 1960s and 1970s especially, foam was around but it wasn't used in things unless it was REALLY thick (such as car seats) or in something that didn't get a lot of repeat pressure (such as battery compartments in electronics). The simple reason being that type of foam back then if you compressed it repeatedly it either lost it's resilience or fell apart far easier than today as plastics technology wasn't the same of course. I had electronics and things back then that suffered like this. I also have plenty of vintage electronics from back then that I've had to deal with this older foam. Sure it degrades, obviously, but occasionally you'll come across stuff that's been compressed and didn't hold up.

I have been hiking for many years and wore all kind of footwear. I bought a pair of terrex free hikers goretex and I never wore anything else for easy / medium level hikes. The grip of the continental outsole rubber is the best I've seen even on wet surfaces. The comfort of the boost is great and helps me endure longer hikes without the usual soreness on specific places. I don't get the issue with the "rock feeling". I feel them well enough and I have no desire to feel them more. That's why I wear shoes. They're also flexible enough if I want to trail run a bit. Try this with harder hiking boots... Evidently I am not using these if I want to go for harsh terrain on extreme weather. But for a general purpose hiking boot, they're the best I've had.

I love my terrex so much I bought several pairs so that when I run one into the ground and have to chuck them I have spares as backup. Very comfy and very sturdy hiking sneaker. However, I do find they wear away very quickly in the bottom on the continental out-sole as well as with the material on the inside back heel, which often tears away from over-use (I use mine almost every day to hike with my dogs so they do get a good bashing)

I got the freehiker low top version 2's about 2 and a half months ago just for work. I owned a pair of hokas bondi 8's and my hokas fell apart after 2 months. Before the hokas it a pair of asics (cant remember model) and after 2 months they also shredded around the edge and top. I work in a shop so when I'm on my knees stocking shelves I think it rubs on the top and shreds the material. The addidas trainers have held up extremely well with no damage, still water proof and no tearing and even though they have more weight than previous trainers they're still extremely comfortable. I think as work trainers they're brilliant. I have taken them on light trails and they still hold up. I think serious hikers and people in heavy duty environments are better off with durable boots. However as general purpose trainers I think these are a good buy.

The only boots that are tall enough in the ankle area in the final list (14:07) are the Adidas Terrex and the Under Armour Hovr. Other options look more like mid top trail sneakers than boots. The option that is not present on the list that you might cut is the Hi-Tec / Magnum Ultima 8.0 WP. I'm not sure if has foam midsole but it's definitley a cushioned sneaker like boot.

I own this exact pair. I wore them for Coachella 2023. I put about 45 miles on them that weekend. I did buy better hiking specific insoles for them and that made them even more comfortable. These boots were super comfortable and I did not have issues with them. Keep in mind that I walked on flat grass at the polo field that Coachella is held at, so it wasn't a ton of wear and tear. There is a known issue for this model at the back of the out sole. The brown outsole will slightly start to separate from the boost foam.

I've been using these boots for over a year and a half or two now. They are a snug fit. Get your size or a half size up. They are very warm. I end up grabbing my other work boots bc of how warm these can get all day. If I do use these I have to take them off periodically to dry up the sweat. They are super comfy though. Especially for lots of walking so I do wear them all the time outside of work. They have a unique color so I get random compliments on them often.

I just have the regular Free Hikers, not the ones from this video, but my opinions are pretty much the same. Super comfortable, although a slight bit more stiff than my Yeezys or Ultraboosts, althought i would not consider them a boot i would bring on a a trip more serious than a casual mountain hike. I live Minnesota so we get quite a bit of snow and other similar weather so these are GREAT for the environment I live in, they've gotten quite a bit of wear from me. Price-wise, I definitely think $250 is steep, especially considering I ALSO paid that much for mine and the pair in the video looks to be a much better version...

I really like the look of my green Muggs 2.0, and they are warm. The pull loop got torn very soon after I took them to the streets for the first time, so I hope the SMUGS have fixed the loops. I expect them to be better as the SMUGS is more heavy duty. Meanwhile I need to go to the local cobbler and get my Muggs loop fixed...

Great video! Would I be safe to say that the shells around the foam breads creates a air tight seal that prevents air from escaping from the open cells of the foam inside resulting in ball like bounce effect? It is sort of hard to tell if the core of the beads is open or closed cell foam. ✌️

Is it possible to compare the Danner 600 series (perhaps "Leaf" is the best)? They appear identical in both function and style.

I wish you gave a link for particularly this colorway boot because the other ones are OK but this one kinda looks a little bit better

Would it be a dumb idea to apply that toe goop to the foam sides for added protection? The "toe goop" I'm referring to is usually used on steal toe work boots. Or like maybe flex seal would work perhaps? Obviously I would tape off the parts of the boot that are not side foam. just a thought.

Would be interested in the Haix Black Eagle Athletic 2.0 GTX to be cut apart. There is a version with Suede or Nubuckleather. They are made in Europe and cost about ~150€. Thanks!

Had a terrex free hiker - it was 70% off online, so I bought my size and it was a mistake. Runs so big it was a whole size bigger, could not use it, ended up selling it. Good shoe, comfortable and all, but sizing was way off and found out many people had this problem.
