I wore my Roadmate Solum 5” Waterproof Hiker boots to my first hiking experience in Sierra Madre, CA. Hiking to Sturtevant Falls was a great experience and wearing my Roadmate Solum Boots made it even more enjoyable for me. These boots have an unbeatable combination feel of comfort, support and waterproofing. The Solum is a very sturdy boot and I would recommend these boots for travel and everyday wear as well as for day hikes. Thank you Roadmate!
