The strangest entry into Gear Patrol's list of The Best Hiking Boots of 2021 is undoubtedly Naglev's Unico Hiker, which has held its place there for more than a year. The hiking shoe is unlike any other — its primary ingredients are Kevlar and wool — but it takes to trails with unparalleled durability and comfort. Naglev announced last year that it was finally expanding on that award-winning design by releasing a full-sized hiking boot called the Unico Combat WP. That boot had released at the end of 2020 but sold out extremely quick, but it's now available to purchase on Huckberry again.
The materials that make up the forthcoming Unico Combat WP.

Like the Hiker, the Combat WP is distinct with its Kevlar upper, which is both waterproof and highly abrasion-resistant. The interior consists of a sock-like wool liner, which provides comfort despite the boot's rock-proof construction. The hiking boot also includes a footbed made of leather and coconut fibers and a dual-density EVA midsole — the same kind you'll find in many hiking boots and running shoes — and a natural rubber outsole with aggressive lugs.
The Naglev Unico Combat WP hiking boot is available on Huckberry now, just in time for upcoming hikes. Hurry though, as some sizes have already begun selling out.
Salomon's X Ultra 3 Mid GTX has been a hiker-favorite for years. It has a relatively waterproof, lightweight and durable construction and provides enough comfort and support for most hikers. Plus, with many boots costing more than $200, it's affordable by comparison.
Drawing on learnings from decades of ski boot manufacturing, Tecnica made its full-sized hiking boot around the core idea of customization. An in-store heat molding process morphs the insole and upper to your foot for a perfect fit that doesn't need any breaking in.
Many full-sized hiking boots capable of logging many miles on the trail cost $200 and up. The Targhee Vent Mid is in-line with running shoes, however. It's not waterproof, but it is exceptionally breathable, making it great for dry hikes (and people who don't care about waterproofing to begin with).
