Sneaker Comfort, Trail Performance

Meet the women's hiking boot that feels like your favorite sneaker. The Monterra Mid combines the support of a true waterproof hiking boot with the lightweight comfort you didn’t think was possible. No break-in, no clunky feel—just pure, go-anywhere comfort from day one.

With our proprietary FlexFoam™ EVA midsole and a biomechanically correct 8mm drop, the Monterra cushions every step while supporting your arches and absorbing impact across rough terrain. And with our Grip360™ outsole, you’ll stay sure-footed on dirt, gravel, roots, and everything in between.

Built tough but styled smart, these boots look as good at the trailhead as they do around town.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should I order?

The Monterras run true to size, so we recommend ordering your normal size. If you have wide feet or plan to wear thick socks, consider sizing up ½ size. The wide toe box is designed for all-day hiking comfort.

Still not sure? Either send us an email (customercare@viakix.com) or open the chat window and ask. We love helping our incredible customer community. Emails are responded to within a few hours.  

Are the Monterras really waterproof?

Yes! The Monterras are built with a waterproof membrane that keeps your feet dry through puddles, streams, snow and rainy hikes — while still staying breathable so your feet don’t overheat.

How heavy are these boots?

Surprisingly lightweight! A women’s size 7 boot weighs just 11.7 oz (334 g), which means you get trail-ready durability without the clunky, heavy feel of traditional hiking boots.

Do they have good traction?

Absolutely. The Grip360 outsole uses 4mm multi-directional lugs designed to give you confident grip on mud, rocks, gravel, and dry trails alike.

Are these zero drop?

No — the Monterras are built with a biomechanically neutral 8mm heel-to-toe drop. While zero-drop footwear has become trendy (a little too trendy in our opinion) clinical studies show concerns. In one randomized trial of 99 runners, the group in neutral shoes reported the fewest injuries and the minimalist shoes the most. The researchers concluded "Running in minimalist footwear appears to increase the likelihood of experiencing an injury, with full minimalist designs specifically increasing pain at the shin and calf. Clinicians should exercise caution when recommending minimalist footwear to runners." (Taunton et al., British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2012).

What if I don’t love them?

We very confident that you WILL love them. But, if we are wrong, and you don't fall in love with our Monterras, simply return them within 30 days (unworn, with tags/packaging) for free in the U.S., and we’ll make it right. We even will pay the return shipping label. So, there's really no tisk to you.

We’re hikers too, and we believe comfort should never be a compromise.

The most comfortable boots I've ever owned — and I’ve tried them all.

I bought the Monterra Mids after years of struggling to find a hiking boot that didn’t feel like, well… a hiking boot. These feel like sneakers straight out of the box. No break-in, no blisters — just pure comfort, even after 8 miles on the trail.

What really blew me away was the FlexFoam cushioning. I have high arches and usually struggle with foot fatigue, but these kept me supported and pain-free all day. I wore them on a weekend trip to the Adirondacks — they handled mud, rain, and rocky climbs like a champ. Plus, they’re cute enough that I didn’t feel weird wearing them to grab a post-hike coffee.

If you’ve been burned by stiff, heavy boots in the past, give these a shot. I’ll never hike in anything else.
