Humtto hiking boots test

I also looked at the Hungarian offer, two cheap hiking boots came up, a Head and a Karrimor. None were waterproof, and of course they didn't sell the shoes in my size either, even though this HUF 13-15 would have been the bottom of the story, but this is the starting price, isn't it, since it's always cheap, which doesn't have a size. With a bigger jump, you can get to the Evadict brand in Decathlon's offer, where you can get pretty nice footwear for around HUF 25, but most of them are made of mesh material, so they will never be waterproof. So I ended up staying with Humtto, which a rather self-indulgent choice, especially since the pike cost me HUF 18, alas it is no longer available for that price. This is well beyond my pain threshold, I would have been much happier with the HUF 12-15 price, but there are simply no normal hiking boots in China for that much.

The other is the nomenclature, which practically does not exist.

This Humtto pike simply doesn't have a name, and from what I've seen, neither do the others, which is quite an amateurish move from a manufacturer that has been making products since 1985.

My first impression was that the shoe is comfortable, which is mainly due to the excellent insole.

These Humtto solutions, similar to Ortholite, are amazingly good, I would easily buy them, even without shoes. My second finding was that what a hideous piece of crap ordered from AliExpress Salomon QuickLace imitation corset, which I replaced the factory one with. On the one hand, the plastic end remained in my hand all the time, and on the other hand, it is so elastic that even if I pulled the shoelace, it did not pull the material of the shoe. Of this, you have to buy the one made by Salomon, approx. HUF 2-3000, but at least it works.

As they say, the appetite comes when you're on the move, and luckily, it was easy to grind with Humtto's shoes.

A sole is very good, the wedge-shaped pattern is sufficiently deep - 5-6 mm - and has a similar structure to the decathlon Evadict and Kalenji brands. The latter was my pike before the Humtto, but my Salomon Speedcross 4 was not far from it either, and the one two years earlier. It grips the ground well and pushes out the mud quite well, and the coating is really waterproof, so it fulfilled the two aspects for which I actually bought the shoes. Unfortunately it is not really suitable for hiking in extreme cold, the material is thin, which is a blessing in summer because it allows ventilation, but in winter I get cold in these. Or rather, I would have been cold if I hadn't thought of this earlier, so I supplemented my normal hiking socks with ski socks, so winter marching was completely livable even in this 3-5 degrees.

The Winter Tihany Balaton tour meant a slightly longer distance - 20 kilos - and slightly colder weather - minus 2, plus 2 degrees Celsius.

de basically my impressions have not changed, the shoe adapts to the foot very quickly and remains livable afterwards, of course we will see how well it amortizes over a few hundred kilometers. What stood out was that In 20 kilometers, I never once felt that it was uncomfortable or cold - it's true that the double socks helped a lot -, it fits the foot great, the insole is fantastic and really keeps the water out. The sole is great, I slipped in one place where the upper layer of the muddy ground was soaked, but the ground was still frozen underneath, but I'm sure that the same thing would have happened here with any other manufacturer's product.

Since the mud kneading went well, I can simply say that this sole holds its own against similar solutions from Western brands.
