Yes, tactical boots can be great for hiking. Tactical boots provide a high level of durability even in the roughest environments. The best hiking options when considering men’s or women’s tactical boots will often use waterproof uppers with quality materials used in the insole, midsole, and outsole. Waterproof, breathable materials like the Hydroguard waterproof, breathable membrane used in the Propper Series 100 Waterproof 8” Coyote Boot will keep your feet dry and comfortable while the insole, midsole, and outsole materials will ensure cushioning and support throughout the hike. Traction is also key when hiking and tactical boots are designed with high grip rubber outsoles for any surface with lugs that shed loose soil and mud buildup easily.
