Helly Hansen Waterproof Hiking Boot Appraisal

Helly Hansen Waterproof Hiking Boot

This item is a single, brown, mid-ankle hiking or casual boot, likely designed for outdoor use given its robust construction. The primary material for the upper appears to be dark brown, distressed leather or a durable synthetic imitation, showing some minor scuffing and variations in color consistent with wear or intended aesthetic. The boot features a prominent logo, likely 'HH' for Helly Hansen, embossed or applied in a metallic finish on the lateral side of the ankle area. The lacing system includes six pairs of eyelets: four D-ring style metal eyelets on the vamp and two speed hooks near the ankle for quick lacing. The laces themselves are dark brown, rounded, and appear to be in good condition. The collar of the boot, particularly around the ankle, is a darker fabric, possibly ballistic nylon or a similar durable textile, offering flexibility and comfort. The sole unit is multi-layered, consisting of a cream or off-white midsole, accented by a thin red stripe just above it, providing a subtle pop of color. The outsole is not fully visible but appears to be a lugged rubber sole designed for traction, typical of hiking footwear. The stitching throughout the boot is neat and consistent, indicating good manufacturing quality. The overall design suggests a contemporary style, likely from the past decade, engineered for both functionality and urban appeal. While specific condition issues such as deep abrasions or sole separation are not evident, the leather shows minor signs of use, primarily superficial scuffs that contribute to a worn-in look rather than significant damage. The inner heel collar clearly displays 'HELLY HANSEN' branding.
