Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers particularly appreciate the high quality and comfort of the footwear, noting that they make their feet feel great. Many consumers highlight the spacious toe box design, which prevents cramping and allows for a more natural feel, similar to walking barefoot. People who have purchased multiple pairs of shoes, including boots, express satisfaction with the durability and support provided. However, there is mixed feedback regarding orders and delivery services. Some reviewers mention issues with sizing, suggesting that it can be inconsistent, and recommend ordering a size or two larger than usual. A few consumers report challenges with customer service, particularly regarding wait times and returns. Despite these concerns, many customers praise the helpfulness of the customer service representatives and express overall satisfaction with the company's products.

My husband loves the Hike shoes I got him! He likes the big toe box, the ventilation, and the support. Sometimes he wears them with socks - and sometimes without - they work either way. Said they were great while navigating the airport. He even liked using them at the driving range!

Great experience with Caspar Pro boots

Wore the Caspar Pro non slip water resistant boots at the Christmas markets in Germany. Kept feet warm and dry and no slipping even on wet cobblestone streets. Even after many hours, my feet did not hurt. Great investment!

Greatest customer service ever!!

I mistakenly ordered the wrong size and asked to exchange it and they told me to keep it and share them with someone else while sending me the next size free of charge! Best deal I found all Christmas shopping. So very grateful for your customer service!

The site is easy to navigate - and the instructions for determining size are easy to understand.

Great delivery & product, one noticeable flaw

Hike was prompt with their delivery, the shoes are a great quality, and I have enjoyed them.
My one issue is that the super-light-weight shoes were designed to plug-in some kind of massage "bump" in any of several holes in the sole. They didn't come with any plugs and those holes let water come right up into the shoe. Every time I wear them on wet pavement (a lot of that up in the NW), no matter how little water there is, my feet immediately get wet through the bottom of the soles! They should have provided a way to plug those holes shut.
