On brings their running shoe expertise to the hiking space with this sneaker boot that’s designed for both street and active pursuits. Their signature Cloudtec elements add comfort and support for all-day wear and the smart lacing system that lets you slip in, tighten and lock the laces in one easy shot. We also love that they offer excellent traction and are water-repellent, so they can be worn in many inclement weather conditions.

Best Waterproof Men's Sneaker Boots

The Larimer Mid from North Face offers excellent winter resistance without sacrificing style: It’s waterproof with a suede and ballistic nylon upper, insulated for zoned extra warmth and has a rubber toe wrap for added water protection. Available in three colorways, these boots have a unique tread pattern that holds up well in slippery conditions and padding that supports the ankle. Multiple reviewers said these run narrow though, so they might feel snug on wide feet.

Best Casual Men's Sneaker Boots

Nike took their enduringly popular Air Force 1 silhouette and gave it a winter twist. The Lunar Force 1 Duckboots look like sneakers but function like a durable boot. The water-repellent leather—plus padded tongue—keep out the rain and cold, while rugged touches like metal lace hardware and a studded toe panel add to the street style look.

Best Lightweight Men's Sneaker Boots

Sorel is practically synonymous with winter boots and the Mac Hill Lite Rush WP Boot holds up to the brand’s rep. It touts a seam-sealed, waterproof yet breathable membrane that keeps your feet dry and breezy while the mid-height offers more protective coverage than a shorter hiking shoe. Weighing less than a pound, many reviewers love this lightweight sneaker boot for both its style and function.

Best Men's Sneaker Boots For Hiking

The Kaha 2s feature Hoka’s signature meta-rocker foamy sole—boasting a 6-mm heel-to-toe drop—with added Vibram rubber for extra hiking grip and a Gore-Tex and nubuck leather upper for durability. The mid-height offers ankle support (they’re also available in a lower shoe version) and the waterproofing features help resist moisture whether you’re on the trail or not.

Best Men's Sneaker Boots For Extreme Cold

Columbia’s Fairbanks Omni-Heat boot has a surprising level of technical features and is engineered specifically for cold weather protection. Its proprietary breathable, reflective lining uses your own body heat to keep warm plus 200g of insulation adds an extra shield. The lightweight sole provides cushiony comfort, a traction rubber outsole keeps you from slipping on ice and the waterproof bootie is designed to keep rain, snow and slush out. In other words: Cold out, heat in.

Best Men's Sneaker Boots For Walking All Day

One reviewer calls these “the SUVs of shoes” and we think it’s accurate. With a waterproof Gore Tex membrane for durability, a fleece lining for extra warmth and a rubber outsole for traction, the Terrex Free Hiker 2 Boot is an ideal sneaker boot if you’re on the move. Adidas’ Boost midsole adds cushiony comfort, so you feet will feel supported regardless if you’re on a hike or trekking in the city.

Most Affordable Men's Sneaker Boots

There’s a lot to like about Bruno Marc’s sporty sneaker boots: They’re lined with faux shearling to keep your feet warm and cozy, they’re lightweight and packable for travel, plus the price is affordable. While these sneaker boots might not be the most waterproof or durable of our picks, they’re a great option for a casual winter sneaker that won’t hurt your wallet.

Most Stylish Men's Sneaker Boots

With a soft leather upper and a ReBOTL lining—made from recycled plastic bottles—this chukka sneaker boot from Timberland is comfortable, stylish and surprisingly durable. It has an EVA footbed that provides extra comfort and the reinforced rubber outsole has grip that holds up in both wet and dry conditions. The sleek silhouette is easy to dress up or down, and multiple reviewers who wear these for work said they also perform for a hike, even under wet conditions and rough terrain.

Best Men's Sneaker Work Boots

This sneaker work boot from Wolverine checks all our boxes for support and protection. Its shock-absorbing sole is not only slip-resistant, it also keeps you comfortable during long days on hard surfaces. It’s also lightweight thanks to a composite carbon safety toe (that meets ASTM standards), and a breathable waterproof membrane ensures dry feet in all conditions, indoor and out. We’re also fans of the the smart BOA dial system for easy, on-the-go lace tightening, a convenient feature especially if you’ve got work gloves on your hands.

Best Insulated Men’s Sneaker Boots

Built with 200g of Snowshield insulation to stay warm in the coldest temps, L.L.Bean’s Snow Sneaker 5 Boot features athletic cushioning with a rugged rubber outsole for added grip in slippery winter conditions. The waterproof membrane on the suede and fabric upper combined with a moisture-wicking liner seals out rain, snow and slush while the footbed is anatomically designed to keep your foot cradled all day.
