Despite being made of leather, the Forest Hunter Mid GTX boots weigh just about 740g per boot. Harkila included more room around the toes when they designed the boot. This not only offers superb comfort, but it also comes in handy when it's chilly outside since it provides you more space for your toes to move, even while wearing thick, insulating socks.

The Forest Hunter Mid GTX boots have a waterproof GORE-TEX MS Advanced recycled membrane. During manufacture, all boot membranes are tested in a waterbath, to ensure they are waterproof. Harkila then performs a 30-minute centrifuge test on a 5% sample of total boot production, as a further guarantee that the membrane is of the highest possible quality.

The boot’s upper is made from nubuck leather, and the soles are constructed from semi-stiff Vibram, which ensures good grip. The boots also feature a shock-absorbing midsole, for long-distance walking comfort even on very rugged ground. Although they are highly durable, the boots have flex points on the forefoot and the heel, for exceptional walking comfort. They are reinforced with an extra robust material at the toe and heel, where wear is typically the greatest.
