Although retailers like REI, Backcountry, and Dick's Sporting Goods are usually the first that come to mind when shopping for camping and hiking gear, Walmart also belongs in the conversation. The retail giant has had deals on great equipment all season long on folding camping tables, sleeping pads, and even portable power stations. But the best deal on the site right now, by far, is on this pair of Wolverine hiking boots that are a steal at under $50.
Wolverine Luton Waterproof Hiking Boots are now only $45 at Walmart—53% off their normal price of $95. These rugged but affordable boots have earned nearly 1,000 five-star ratings from Walmart shoppers who say their "form and function are perfect" and that they're "comfortable right out of the box." They're available in black and brown and come in sizes 7 to 14, though only the former offers wide sizes.

These hiking boots are made with full-grain leather, which is known for exceptional durability and longevity, and they even have hard TPU overlays over and around the toes and heel counter for extra protection. They're lined with a breathable waterproof membrane that locks water out while allowing perspiration to escape, so your feet don't clam up on the trail. Inside, a layer of Thinsulate helps keep feet warm—a godsend for cold weather—while the removable insole offers good arch support. The midsole is lightweight and comfortable EVA foam, so shock absorption will be great, while a full rubber sole with angular lugs helps tear into the ground for enhanced traction.
A $45 pair of hiking boots might raise a few eyebrows, but the hundreds of Walmart shoppers who have tried them can vouch for their performance. "This is my second time purchasing Wolverine Lutons," a shopper said. "The first pair lasted three years! These are excellent hikers. I wear them daily for gardening and hiking. I hike about 4 to 6 miles per hike, three times a week…Getting caught in the rain is no problem—they're waterproof."

Others specifically noted the comfort. "It's a hiking boot you can comfortably wear all day," a shopper said. "This is the most comfortable hiking boot I have ever worn. Before these, I would use trail running shoes and the like, but now I found a perfect comfort and protection combo. They are not even noticeably heavier than a typical trail shoe."
Though brands like Keen, Oboz, and others are usually first in conversations about hiking boot brands, it's worth remembering that price doesn't always dictate quality, and that's the case for Wolverine's Luton hiking boots. Make sure to grab a pair for yourself soon, because these boots are on clearance and could sell out in the coming weeks.
