Are these suitable for hiking and walking?

If you read my review, you would know I would never buy them again for anything.

You can amble around the house a bit, but no, this is not intended for walking around throughout the day. It's for while you're in bed or sitting on the couch. They do work well, though.

Hi Linda, Yes, they are great for deep water walking. I walk in 4" water. I especially like that you can adjust the weights. Kathie

Sturdy enough, yes. Breathable? Probably not. My child gets very sweaty if she's in it for a long time. While it is nice and compact, I do not think it is designed for hiking.

Hi Gordon, as long as your binoculars have thin (3/8 maybe 1/2 inch) straps then these will work great. We use ours for hiking with DSLR cameras and love them. no swinging while walking and no problem taking a picture straight up will the straps on. Quick release on each side makes for easy on and off. Only thing which is no problem to us is the little piece stays on the camera all the time. If you are looking to walk around hands free with your binocs this is exactly what you want. Also none of that strain on your neck after a long day hiking.Hope this helps, have a great dayGary

yes! I hope you like them as much as I do. I could walk for miles in them! :)

I wouldn't recommend it for that. They fall. If u are power walking then they are fine.

You can absolutely take these for a walk! I wear them driving (legal in my state), at the grocery store or shopping, etc. If your wearing them and you take off a jacket you may hear some static electricity but I just take them off before doing that. Any mechanical noise caused by the wire is very minimal. Only thing I worry about is the rain, but I use a 1 gallon zip lock bag for transport to my car if it is raining for a nice cheap additional water resistant case.

They are great for classical music (I tried them for Liszt, Prokofiev, Ravel and Chopin piano concertos). Not sure about walking on treadmill though.

Yes. You'd fare well using spikes suitable to the terrain; the larger spikes are good for stability in rugged conditions.

Yes, but they are wading shoes. Most of my fishing involves hiking along the streams in SC. Some days up to 1-2 miles. They have good support but tread pattern is not heavily cleated, so it can be slick if there are leaves on wet rocks

I've taken them fishing with me where I've done a lot of walking over pretty rough terrain and had no problem. Don't ride motorcycles so I don't know but I think they'd be just fine. They're ruggedly built although you might want to tape the lens covers down while travelling.

I use them for walking only. The arch isn't very high, but they are comfortable and I've had 5 pairs over the years. Because of the mesh they are good if you have problems in the big toe area (like bunions).

Probably OKill for those. Depends so much on what you want them for. If hiking with them pick a pod based on weight is my advice.

They are great for riding a "mountain bike" on pavement. Nice and smooth and quiet. They are very light and thin though, so off road use should be limited to well groomed trails. Rocks, thorns, or any other sharp terrain would be a killer.

I haven't worn them hiking in the summer, but I can tell you they are very warm. I only wear them spring to fall, too hot for summer wear.

Yes, they are. I would recommend using this for exercising. Not very comfortable to wear for casual use.
