Hi-Tec Womens Ravus 2.0 Mid WP Hiking Boots (HOW2R1) Paloma/Purple 6
Want a mid-cut hiking boot that keeps your feet dry, feels comfy, and handles weekend trails without drama?
Hi-Tec Women’s Ravus 2.0 Mid WP Hiking Boots are built for wet tracks, mixed terrain, and day-to-day bushwalking. The DRI-TEC waterproof, breathable membrane helps keep water out while still letting your feet breathe. Up top, the seamless V-LITE soft shell upper adds comfort and extra protection, and Hi-Tec has tweaked the fit with more forefoot volume for a roomier feel.
The rustproof hardware and ghillie lacing system help you dial in a snug, secure fit, while the padded collar and tongue add cushioning around the ankle and instep. They’re a solid pick when you want waterproof coverage in a lighter, more flexible mid boot style.

What can I wear with my Ravus 2.0 Mid WP boots?
Day hikes and weekend walks
Keep it simple: hiking shorts or tough pants and a breathable tee. Carry a light jacket in case the weather turns.
Cold mornings and alpine trips
Go with warm layers and a proper hoodie under a windproof shell. The mid-cut helps when it’s crisp and you want a bit more coverage around the ankle.
Wet weather and muddy tracks
Wear them with quick-dry hiking gear and add socks that manage sweat (your feet still work up heat even in waterproof boots). When you get home, hose off the mud, loosen the laces, and let them dry naturally.
FAQs
Are these boots good for multi-day hikes with a pack?
They can handle it if your trips are moderate and you pack light to medium. For heavy loads or constant rocky terrain, you may prefer a stiffer boot with a more supportive midsole and a more aggressive outsole.
Can I re-waterproof them if they start wetting out on the outside?
Yes. The membrane helps block water, but the outer can still “wet out” over time. Clean them first, then use a suitable water-proofing treatment for soft-shell/synthetic uppers.
How do I clean them after mud and creek crossings?
Rinse with cool water and a soft brush to get grit out of seams and around the laces. Skip harsh detergents. Pull the insole out, loosen the laces, and air dry out of direct heat.
Are they warm enough for winter hiking?
They’re waterproof, but not insulated. For cold conditions, use warmer hiking socks and layer smart. If you’ll be in proper winter temps, you might want to consider an insulated boot instead.
Do they breathe, or will my feet get sweaty?
They use a waterproof/breathable membrane, but any waterproof boot runs warmer than a non-waterproof shoe. Good socks and taking short breaks to vent your feet helps a lot.
