When you’re new to trekking, selecting gear or equipment that offers comfort, durability, and ease of use becomes crucial. And this doesn’t need to be fancy or expensive — it simply needs to support you well as you take your first steps into the world of trekking.

In this detailed Forclaz MT100 Women's Waterproof Trekking Shoes review, I’ll walk you through how the trekking shoes performed for my treks to Sandakphu Phalut, Valley of Flowers, and Kedarkantha,.

What did I like about Forclaz MT100 Trekking Shoes?

Over three years of use, these shoes have remained sturdy, reliable, and versatile across different terrains. The mid-ankle design provided excellent support, keeping my feet stable on uneven trails, while the robust construction has held up well under heavy use.

One key point I’ve learned is to take one size larger than your usual footwear and ensure there’s enough room to move your toes comfortably—this makes long treks much more pleasant.

The waterproof nature was especially helpful during the monsoon trek to the Valley of Flowers (August 2019), and again on the snowy slopes of Kedarkantha (January 2020), where I comfortably wore snow spikes over them.

What I did not like about Forclaz MT100 Trekking Shoes?

I haven’t encountered anything I didn’t like about the FORCLAZ Women’s Waterproof Trekking Shoes MT100 so far. I haven’t used any other models to compare, but for me, these shoes have met all my expectations on treks.
