The Chocorua Trail Timberland Boot
Before my trip to Israel last year I wanted to pick up a pair of hiking boots. I had heard from a friend that Timberland's Gore-Tex Chocorua Trail Mid Hikerboot would be a good hiking boot to take with me. So I bought a pair online for a very good price and a few days later they arrived. They fitted great and I was looking forward to my hike in Israel's Negev desert with my new boots.
Hiking in the Negev Desert
These boots performed great in the Negev. The boot is light weight but sturdy and molds to your feet. In the sun my feet were very comfortable and I was able to climb up and down some narrow rocky paths with great ease, conquering steep hills easily. The boots have good traction and feel great under all conditions. The only problem I have with the Chocorua is that they are so darn comfortable I started to wear them all the time. I was eating a falafel (pita bread with salad) in a Jerusalem restaurant and some red sauce dripped on one of the boots. I just poured some water on the boot to clean it off and finished my lunch. You never know when watrerproof boots come in handy!
Back in the US
When I returned back to the states I wore the boots for my Sunday strolls from Manhattan's Upper West Side through Central Park to Midtown. The Chocorua are a comfortable walking boot. When winter came I wore these boots almost everyday in the snow and slush and the boot's gore-tex kept my feet dry. This is a great urban walking boot. My complaint with this boot is that I wish they came as a slip on. I hate lacing up any shoe. But that is just me.
Best Prices Online
The real good news about the Chocorua Trail Timberland boot is that the best way to buy them is to go online. Hassle free, 100 guaranteed if you are not happy with the fit or the boot, you can return them for a full refund. There is no better way to shop for shoes. I look forward to my next hike in Israel next year and this time I plan to go up north. They say the Golan Heights is a great place for hikes and you can see Syria from the mountains. Now that will be a great hike.
