Roccia Vet Black Full Grain M

Wore these straight out of the box for a six-mile trail and got zero blisters, which never happens for me with new boots. The full grain leather is stiff in a good way but the lightweight sole keeps them from feeling clunky on descents.

Love the classic Italian hiking boot look—rugged and stylish at the same time. The lightweight sole actually makes a difference on long walks.

The lightweight sole makes these boots feel much less clunky than traditional hiking boots, and the full-grain leather has held up well on rocky trails. I was surprised by the comfort straight out of the box.
