Our Clients Thought

I've been an avid hiker for over 20 years now, and I can safely say Dexter's Summit Backpacker boots are the most comfortable hiking boots I've ever owned. I was skeptical at first about dropping $250 on a pair of boots, but after 500+ miles of hiking in all sorts of conditions, my feet have never been happier. The full grain leather forms perfectly to your feet, and the Vibram rubber soles grip slippery terrain like a mountain goat. I've hiked everywhere from the rainy Pacific Northwest to the red rocks of Sedona in these boots, and they've yet to let me down. The padded collar prevents any blisters, and my feet feel great even after 15 mile days. For serious hikers looking to invest in their comfort and safety on the trail, I can't recommend Dexter enough. These boots are built to last a lifetime.

As a construction foreman, I'm on my feet all day walking jobsites, so I need a boot that can take a beating. I bought the Dexter Jackson steel toe work boots a year ago and they are by far the most comfortable and durable boots I've owned. The thick leather has resisted scuffs and stains that would have ruined lesser boots long ago. And the slip-resistant sole has helped me keep my balance on muddy inclines and precarious scaffolding. I love that they don't need much break-in time - I was able to wear them for 8+ hours straight right off the bat with no blisters. The steel toe has saved me more than once when heavy materials got dropped. My crews have been so impressed that many of them have switched to wearing Dexter boots themselves. For anyone who works on their feet in tough conditions, do yourself a favor and try a pair of these quality Dexter work boots. Outstanding comfort and protection that's built to last.

As an avid mountaineer who's summited peaks on 3 continents, I need a boot that can handle the most punishing terrain on earth. After wearing out lower-quality boots on a few climbs, I invested in Dexter's Summit Excursion boots four years ago and have never looked back. I've challenged these boots on over 20 alpine ascents across the Americas and Asia, and they've helped me climb everything from Denali to Aconcagua safely and comfortably. The full crampon compatibility lets me stomp up ice without slipping, and the aggressive lugged Vibram soles get me up rocky scree when no trail exists. Even after hundreds of miles through brutally cold conditions, my feet stay warm thanks to the insulated Gore-Tex liner. While lighter boots exist, nothing I've found matches the Dexter Excursion's resilience and grip on challenging alpine terrain. They're pricey but worth every penny for mountaineers who value quality gear. The Excursions will get you up and down anything!

Living in a city with rainy, slushy winters and occasional snowstorms, the weather can be treacherous for getting around. I walk over a mile each day to work, so having waterproof boots with good traction is essential. I bought the Dexter All-Weather Mid boots this past fall, and they've been keeping my feet dry and stable all winter long. The waterproof leather keeps out the rain and snow, while the aggressive treads bite into slippery sidewalks and prevent me from taking any tumbles on my commute. I love that they have a roomier toe box, since I need space for my custom orthotics. I also appreciate the cuff at the top that prevents ice and snow from getting inside. For anyone living in an area with wet, variable winters, do yourself a favor and get these Dexter boots. Your feet will thank you! I see myself wearing them for many winters to come.

As a Pacific Northwest native, wet hiking trails are all I've ever known. My old leaky hiking boots led to way too many soggy socks and blisters over the years. But since getting Dexter's Mesa Ventilator Mid boots, my hiking enjoyment has shot through the roof. Whatever Dex-Dry waterproofing they use really works! I've splashed through miles of mud and streams, but my feet stay nice and dry. Combined with the wicking mesh lining, my feet breathe easy all day long. I also love the athletic feel - the boots move with me easily mile after mile. And the Vibram soles are surprisingly grippy on slick surfaces like mossy logs and wet rocks. I used to dread spring hiking season, but with my Dexter boots, I'm looking forward to hitting the trails all rainy season long! If you're a Pacific Northwest hiker, do not hesitate to pick up these boots. Absolute game changer.
