I’m looking forward to some spring hikes, and here’s a hiking boot that delivers both style and substance.

This fun, retro, waterproof boot keeps your feet dry on damp trails. It has a padded collar, cushioned footbed, and low heel for hours of comfort. If hiking isn’t your thing, these will also work for urban excursions. In addition to gray/purple, it also comes in wheat/black (lucky sizes only).

Timberland’s Euro Waterproof Hiker Boot is $99.99–$129.95, depending on the color. It’s available at Nordstrom in sizes 5.5–11.
