Love the Nova 4 hikers

I used my new Nova 4 shoes on a Backroads hiking vacation in Palm Springs, CA. The stability and comfort of the shoes were excellent. I use custome orthodics, so having sufficient room and support is critical. I've owned many hiking shoes over the years, I would say these are my favorite pair to date. Well done.

Noisy waterproofing?

Retuned. If you want every step to sound like you have plastic shopping bags for socks these are the perfect shoe for you.

Wides need to be wider

Great arch support but need to be wider and taller

Repeat buyer

This is the second pair of the same shoes I purchased. I love the wide box and overall comfort. Not sure why but the second pair fits a little tighter than the first pair.

Good shoe - still not a great fit

The shoes fit okay but still don't feel great. Size is 12 Wide. They are tolerable to wear.

Husband loves it. He works outside and it kept his feet absolutely dry! I already bought another pair. His feet were super comfortable as well

Nice wide footwear

Nice shoes. Bought them for hiking in the winter. Wearing them outside and in the rain and even put them under the faucet to check for leaking. Good news, no leaks and keeping my feet dry. Plus the width is generous for my wide size 15 feet. Nice color too, blends well with the mud around my house :-)

So good I bought two pair.

I love these shoes and the fit so much I bought a second pair in a different color. The water proof shoes are helpful when following a basset hound around the rail trail near my house.

Great water proof walker for me

These shies are very comfortable weatherproof and warm on the foot for winter walking.

Makes noise while walking

Shoe is extremely loud. Not sure if it’s the waterproof membrane but almost sounds like a plastic bag being crumbled when I walk. Hopefully it stops doing that over time but a dozen wears in and still doing it.

Waterproof shoes with great tread

Ordered this shoe for the tread. My husband loves it. But it makes his foot hot. Tread is good as well as keeping his feet dry . Just can’t wear them all day.

Comfortable and weatherproof!

I have wide feet so these are quite comfortable. They wear like an athletic shoe with an aggressive tread. The color is also very pleasing.
