I hiked my country's highest mountain in these Keen summer boots, and right now they're $55 off ahead of Prime Day

Tom's Guide5 days ago

I know what you're gonna say: 'do you live in the Netherlands? Is your highest mountain like 320 meters?'
No, as much as I love me some lowlands, I live in Wales, U.K., and we have some pretty respectable hills. The highest of those is Mount Snowdon, or Yr Wyddfa in Welsh, at 1.085 meters / 3,000 feet. Hardly Rockies-level climbing, I know, but steep enough to present a challenging hike, and changeable enough to present some risk.
The other week, I climbed its hardest ascent, Watkin Path (listed as 10/10 difficulty), to test out these lightweight Keen Hightrail hiking boots, currently $55 off at Keen.
These are quickly becoming my favorite outdoors gear, and in my opinion are some of the best hiking boots you can buy for summer trails, especially at this low price. Here's why.
I've worn a lot of hiking boots in my time, and none of them have been this comfortable out of the box. After 25 miles, I've not had a single blister, and there's plenty of toe space. Grippy, supportive and with solid waterproofing, these lightweight hiking boots are perfect for summer adventures. At $55 off ahead of Prime Day, they're a bargain, too.
Alas, the women's model is not on sale. However, I can still heartily recommend these lightweight boots for summer hikes. They're super supportive and grippy, extremely comfortable, with no break in period. The waterproofing holds up well against water ingress.
I've hiked most of my life. When I was younger, family holidays with my parents consisted of going to the beautiful Lake District here in the U.K., ascending mountains and dipping our feet in tarns.
I've worn a fair few hiking boots in my time, including boots from Merrell and On, and I'm not messing around when I say I've never worn a set of boots this comfortable.
I've hiked around 25 miles in the Hightrails so far, so I'm around halfway through testing for my upcoming review of these boots. I haven't had a single blister, and there's been no breaking in period. The internal padding is super comfy and you can literally put 'em on and get walking straight away.
This is especially true if you have wide feet, like me. Something we've noted in our other Keen reviews is just how much toe space the brand builds into its shoes. I normally experience cramped toes and blisters from narrow boots, but again, no problems to report with the Hightrails.
I have a form of immuno-arthritis which affects my legs and feet in particular. My anterior tibial tendons are common flare-up points, and inflammation there often also causes acute plantar fasciitis. The padding in the soles of the Keen Hightrails has been good enough to help cushion a recent flare up, although I definitely wouldn't say these are the softest boots I've worn.
That's not not to say these boots don't perform. They're comfortable and soft, yes, but very supportive. I need a lot of interior ankle support as my gait tends to roll. For that reason, I always wear a mid boot.
Not all mids are created equal though, and I've really enjoyed how much support the Hightrails give me there — there's an ankle strap on each side of the boot, which is pulled taught by the laces, allowing you to slacken or increase ankle support.
They also provide strong levels of grip. As I mentioned earlier, I hiked the hardest trail of Wales' highest mountain, Watkin Path, which gets very steep and involves a good amount of scrambling. I never once missed my footing in the Hightrails.
The boots' waterproofing is also decent, and fine for spring and summer hikes. Up at the top of Snowdon, mist and rain rolled in, and my feet stayed totally dry until the water runoff from my trousers started to seep into the top.
I also took these boots walking recently on a hike through Monmouthshire, Wales, along a river path. I stepped into puddles and rivers and my feet stayed dry.
That latter hike was on a 29C / 84F day, and my feet stayed totally cool — in fact, they were probably the only cool part of my body that day.
If I were looking for a new set of lightweight/summer boots, the Keen Hightrail Mids would be on my shortlist, no doubt. At $55 off (that's a 35% discount), I'd say these boots are too good to pass up.

On Running Just Marked Down 12 Best-selling Styles in an Early Fourth of July Sale—Save Up to 40% Right Now

As someone who's spent a majority of her career writing about health and fitness, I know a thing or two about what makes a good sneaker. It all comes down to design, which is something On has mastered. From their cushiony midsoles to grippy outsoles, all On sneakers are built to be supportive and stable, and more importantly, to feel comfortable. They quite literally do make you feel like you're walking on a cloud, which makes them ideal for long travel days or trips where you'll be getting a lot of movement in. Some On shoes can be quite a splurge, though, which is why we're excited about On's early Fourth of July sale where you can grab some of the brand's bestsellers for up to 40 percent off. From hiking shoes to walking shoes, there are a ton of discounts on top-rated styles across Zappos, REI, and the sneaker brand's website. If you're looking for comfy sneakers that won't clash with your trip 'fits, I've got you covered. Here are the 12 best On shoe deals right now. $170 $128 at Zappos $170 $135 at If you love a bouncy shoe, you'll be a fan of the Cloudmonster's forward-rolling sole. The sneaker is one of On's most cushioned shoes, and is designed with a rocker shape that delivers energy return with each step (a springiness that lets you go longer before feeling fatigued while running). Despite its thick, cushioned sole, the sneaker is light and breathable with a soft sockliner that makes it comfy to wear on daily runs or long travel days. The Cloudmonster is a solid shoe, whether you prefer running slow or fast, since its proprietary CloudTec cushioning helps propel you forward with each step. $160 $120 at REI $160 $110 at Designed with a similar cushioned design as the Cloudmonster, but made for the trails, the Cloudsurfer Trail can handle all the terrain you'll be encountering on your next adventure. Its grippy sole offers traction and durability on both wet and dry surfaces, allowing you to run with more confidence, even during rainy weather. The sneaker's 'Helion' superfoam midsole also delivers shock absorption, keeping your feet comfortable through the duration of your run. Its flexible, soft-mesh upper also makes it a breathable and lightweight option that helps keep your feet in a natural path of motion (it won't feel like you're dragging your feet towards their next step). $160 $120 at Zappos $160 $110 at Perfect for running through the terminal to catch your next flight, On's Cloudnova 2 delivers a smooth ride, thanks to its wide middle bootie and stable heel pillow. These allow the sneaker to feel comfortable for longer periods of time, and help you move faster, too. The shoe never feels too stiff, either. That's because it's designed with On's Speedboard, a supportive and flexible plate in the midsole that delivers energy return and better speed. Right now, these sneakers are at the lowest price they've been in 30 days. One of On's bestsellers, the Cloudstratus 3, is more cushiony and comfortable than its predecessors. A great option for walking tours or trips where you'll be racking up your steps, its foam midsole allows for plush landings, and its collar and tongue design provide all-day comfort. The sneakers are also made with a rubber outsole that allows the shoe to remain grippy on all surfaces, a plus if you're traversing through shiny museum floors or wet city streets. Currently down 40 percent, this is one of the best deals on this list. If you never skip a training day, even while traveling, the On Cloudpulse is a great sneaker to pack along with your other trip essentials. It's designed with a Speedboard that's thick in the middle and thinner in the front. This keeps the shoe flexible but supportive enough to offer stability during HIIT workouts and circuit training. Its sweat-wicking mesh upper keeps airflow going, so your feet don't overheat during tough workouts. Even better, despite being so supportive, the shoe is a lightweight option perfect for cardio and sprints, too. Designed with a sleeker silhouette than some of On's other shoes, the Cloud X 4 AD is a great option for pairing with your casual vacation outfits, including those cute summer dresses, but you can take them to the gym, too. The sneaker's star-shaped lacing keeps it secure on your feet, and its roomy toe box and breathable mesh upper keep it comfy and dry all day. The white colorway option can make a great addition to your arsenal of white sneakers. Whether you're training for your next race or plan on running to make tight connections, the Cloudsurfer Next can help get you there faster. The lightweight and cushioned shoe is designed with a rocker shape silhouette that propels you forward with less effort. Its flexible midsole collapses with every step, making for smooth heel-to-toe transitions. You'll also love that the shoe provides great traction. The rubber pads on its outsole makes the sneaker super grippy no matter how fast you're moving. The Cloudsurfer Next is also at the lowest price it's been in 30 days. $170 $127 at REI $170 $100 at Made to tackle moderate terrain and perfect for long walks, the On Cloudhorizon shoe is designed with a pillowy, plush feel that makes it comfy for extended wear. The sneakers are made with On's CloudTec Phase, which reduces foot fatigue by making weight transfer from heel to toe a lot smoother. Its Missiongrip rubber outsole can also handle wet and dry surfaces, so that you feel secure even in wet weather. Best of all, the shoe is both supportive and durable, so its construction remains intact no matter how often you pack it. Designed for walking, On's Cloudtilt sneaker is the perfect everyday walking shoe. It's designed with an elastic lacing system, which allows you to simply slip these on, though you can toy around with the laces to get a tighter fit, if needed. The shoe's ultra-cushioned midsole prevents hard landings and makes energy return a priority, keeping foot fatigue at bay for longer. It's the perfect shoe for city adventures or long days on your feet. The Cloudswift 3 is designed to be comfy on an array of foot shapes. Its forward-rolling design delivers energy return to make it easier to move forward. Though cushioned, this shoe is a little stiffer than other options on the list, but it provides a comfortable and secure fit. Its stiffer fit makes it a lot more stable, though, so it's a great everyday choice for those looking for a more supportive shoe. You can wear this one on your runs, too, since the rocker-shaped forefront can help you move faster. If you're looking for a shoe that can do it all, the On Cloudpulse is your perfect fit. Just like the men's option, the women's Cloudpulse is a light and bouncy shoe that'll keep your feet supported through everything from walking to weightlifting. It's made with a reinforced mesh upper that gives the shoe structure and stability, while keeping it breathable. Plus, at least 20 percent of the shoe is made from recycled material, so this shoe gets a few bonus points for keeping sustainability in mind, too. While the On The Roger Advantage 1 shoes are technically made for tennis, the tenniscore fashion trend is still a thing, making this pair a stylish choice whether you plan on playing a match or not. They're made with thick soles and repositioned grooves that make the shoe flexible, meaning they bend along with your feet. The forefront of the shoe is also made with extra cushioning to keep it comfortable on long walks and beyond. Its polished look will make it a good complement to your vacation wardrobe.

Why Samsonite is the most reliable luggage brand, per extensive testing

New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. After years of skipping across time zones with a passport full of stamps and a closet full of regretful suitcase purchases, I've learned the hard way that, when it comes to luggage, looks don't equal longevity. I've had hardshells that cracked at baggage claim, zippers that quit mid-transfer, and a carry-on that once got wedged into an overhead bin so violently I had to abandon it and wait for someone to help. So when it came time to put Samsonite's legendary luggage to the test, I was intrigued — and skeptical. Could something this minimal and affordable actually hold up to travel-adjacent abuse? Wheeling all three at once and even loading them into the ATV was an actual breeze. I've never felt such lightweight, durable luggage. Kendall Cornish I got my hands on the Outline Pro collection's carry-on, medium, and large size hardside spinners and decided to test them not on an Italian vacation, but in the wildest place I currently inhabit: a Texas ranch full of uneven walkways, animals, and unrelenting sun. Because if it can handle steep, rocky paths, curious horses, and general ranch-style roughhousing, it can probably handle Heathrow. Below is the breakdown of each size, plus my honest take on how Samsonite's hardside spinners compare to other brands. Our review Samsonite Pros: Tough, lightweight polypropylene shell Smooth dual spinner wheels Interior wet pack and zippered dividers Sleek, modern design with muted colorways Recycled, wipe-clean lining Cons: Not expandable No exterior pocket access May exceed carry-on limits for some stricter international airlines The Outline Pro Carry-On is Samsonite's sleekest small-but-mighty spinner, built with a hard-wearing polypropylene shell and lined with Samsonite's sustainable Recyclex fabric made from post-consumer plastic bottles. The shell resists scratches and dings, while the interior features compression straps, zippered compartments, and a TSA-approved removable wet pack for toiletries. It's designed to glide through airports with dual spinner wheels that feel buttery smooth across most surfaces. Stylish on the outside, surprisingly smart on the inside — it's a minimalist's dream carry-on. Type: Hardshell | Dimensions: 22″ x 14″ x 9″ | Material: Polypropylene shell with Recyclex interior lining | Weight: 7.5 lbs | Expandable: No Samsonite Pros: Excellent internal organization Sturdy shell protects contents during rough handling Eco-conscious Recyclex lining Sleek design and high-end feel TSA-approved lock built in Cons: No expansion zipper for squeezing in extras No external access once zipped Sized for longer trips or chronic overpackers, the Outline Pro Medium Spinner offers the same sustainable construction and structured layout as its smaller sibling, but with more space and deeper packing compartments. The interior dividers make it easy to separate outfits, shoes, or dirty laundry, and the recessed TSA lock adds peace of mind when you're checking it. Despite its size, the four double-spinner wheels make it surprisingly agile, and the matte shell hides wear beautifully. Type: Hardshell | Dimensions: 27″ x 18″ x 11.5″ | Material: Polypropylene shell with Recyclex interior lining | Weight: 9.2 lbs | Expandable: No Samsonite Pros: Massive interior capacity without sagging Durable shell handles aggressive baggage handlers Interior zip panels keep items neat and compressed Modern design that still feels professional Eco-conscious lining and thoughtful build Cons: Heavy when fully packed (and even when empty) No expandability The biggest of the trio, the Outline Pro Large Spinner is designed for extended getaways, checked-luggage warriors, or those who pack like they're leaving the country forever. It shares the same resilient polypropylene construction and minimalist aesthetic as the rest of the Outline Pro series but offers cavernous space and reinforced corners for extra durability. An ideal checked suitcase, it holds a full wardrobe, shoes, toiletries, and emotional baggage, too — all while keeping everything separate and secure. Type: Hardshell | Dimensions: 31″ x 20.5″ x 13″ | Material: Polypropylene shell with Recyclex interior lining | Weight: 11 lbs | Expandable: No Weight All three sizes strike a pretty solid balance between protection and portability. The carry-on is manageable at 7.5 pounds, but the medium and large aren't what I'd call featherlight. That said, the smooth-glide dual spinner wheels make them feel lighter than they are, even when fully packed with suspiciously heavy 'necessities' like backup boots and full-size skincare. Durability Here's where the Outline Pro surprised me. The polypropylene shell feels tough but not brittle — more flexible than polycarbonate, and less prone to visible cracks or corner crushes. I dragged the medium and large through gravel, barn dust, and a surprise rainstorm, and they held up shockingly well. No dents, no warping, just a few surface scuffs that wiped off easily. We love a TSA-approved lock (and a super-soft handle — no grip fatigue here). Kendall Cornish Aesthetic Clean, matte, and modern — these suitcases look like they belong in a Scandinavian design catalog. They come in a handful of muted, elevated colors (hello, midnight blue and sage green) that look expensive without screaming luxury brand cosplay. The exterior grooves add subtle style and grip without feeling overly trendy. How does Samsonite compare? Samsonite versus Travelpro is a showdown of practicality versus polish. Travelpro (especially the Platinum Elite line) has more exterior pockets, expansion zippers, and suiter systems, making it the king of carry-on optimization. Samsonite Outline Pro, though, wins on minimalism and long-haul performance. It's ideal for checked bags — especially if you're packing heavy or traveling somewhere your suitcase might take a beating (looking at you, JFK baggage handlers). Compared to Away, Outline Pro offers better shell durability and smoother wheels but lacks the influencer-friendly extras like built-in chargers or matching luggage tags. It's a no-frills upgrade for people who are tired of replacing their cracked carry-ons every two years. Who is Samsonite best for? The Outline Pro set is ideal for organized minimalists who prefer structure over stuff-it-all compartments. It's not for overpackers or those who need their suitcase to expand on a whim. But if you like everything to have its place, appreciate clean design, and want luggage that can go from Bali to Boston without falling apart or going out of style, this one delivers. Bonus: The full-size spinners are checked bag warriors. If you travel for weddings, business, or extended trips, the medium and large Outline Pro are ready for chaos. How we tested Let's just say it wasn't a glam jet-set test. I used the carry-on as a daily gear tote for the ranch, hauling everything from horse riding gear to bottles of plant fertilizer, rolling it through gravel paths and hard-packed clay. The medium spinner sat in the back of a dusty ATV for several days, during which there was a Texas-sized thunderstorm (whoops). The large one? It served as an impromptu side table, fan stand, and briefly, a place for my cat to nap after a long day of …napping. The interior wipes clean with ease. Pictured: medium spinner. Kendall Cornish I rolled these things through the mud. I banged them against the fencing. I stuffed them with irregular-shaped feed bags. And the interiors? Still pristine. The Recyclex lining wiped clean with a damp rag, and the zipper pulls — often a point of failure — remained firmly intact. If you're looking for luggage that blends structure, aesthetic, and hard-earned toughness, this collection passed the ranch test with flying colors. FAQs Is Samsonite a good luggage brand? Yes, Samsonite is one of the most trusted luggage brands in the world, known for balancing affordability, durability, and design. It's not the flashiest brand, but it's reliable and widely available, with options for every type of traveler. What's the difference between Samsonite's collections? Each collection targets a different traveler. For example, the Freeform collection is lightweight and budget-friendly, while the Outline Pro series is more premium, with eco-conscious materials and better durability. If you travel often or check bags frequently, Outline Pro is the toughest of the bunch. Does Samsonite luggage come with a warranty? Yes, most Samsonite luggage comes with a 10-year limited global warranty. That typically covers manufacturing defects but not damage from airlines, overpacking, or 'your toddler using it as a jungle gym.' Is Samsonite better than Away or Travelpro? It depends on your priorities. Samsonite wins on variety and accessibility, Travelpro wins on function and flight-crew-level features, and Away nails the minimalist aesthetic with trendy extras. If you want solid, dependable luggage without the influencer markup, Samsonite is a great bet. Can you use Samsonite carry-ons on international flights? Most Samsonite carry-ons, including the Outline Pro, meet domestic carry-on guidelines. However, some international and budget airlines have stricter size limits, so always check before you fly. Are Samsonite suitcases expandable? Some are, but not all. For instance, the Outline Pro series is not expandable by design. If you tend to overpack, look for collections like Freeform or Pivot that offer expansion zippers. Is Samsonite considered luxury luggage? Not quite. Samsonite sits solidly in the upper mid-range tier. It's nicer than your average department store suitcase, but not quite Rimowa or Tumi. Think of it as the dependable Honda of luggage: not flashy, but it gets you there in one piece every time. Hunting for a headline-worthy haul? Keep shopping with Post Wanted.
