Description

The SITKA Ascent Shoe is built for hunters who do more than just hike the trail. Designed as lightweight off-trail footwear, it brings together the responsive feel of a low-profile EVA midsole, a secure Axis-Fit Containment System, and an Apex Traction System outsole made for unstable, highly variable terrain. Molded TPU reinforcement at the toe and heel adds durability in high- wear areas, while the high-denier poly-woven upper helps protect against brush pickup without giving up breathable comfort. A molded collar and tongue round out the fit for comfort and support through training days, preseason scouting missions, the hunt itself, travel, and everyday wear. Weight is 13.6 oz for a half pair in size 10, with a 10 mm heel-to-ball offset and 27 mm heel / 17 mm toe stack heights.

Stiff Step but Good Protection
Size: 10 Color: Black
The Sitka brand makes some decent apparel for the outdoorsman. These Ascent Trail Shoes are a good addition to their brand! The shoes have a classic black look, good enough to wear to a casual job, but with a hiking sole. The fit is a little tight, so I loosened the shoelaces a bit to help. My feet aren’t hugely thick, as I can wear medium width shoes in some brands but need wide width in others. I can’t find these in a wide, so you might need to bump up your size by 0.5 to get a natural fit. The comfort is okay. I’ve had better feeling trail boots and shoes. These definitely have a firm feel to the step, which is probably good if you’re going to be using these on really rocky terrain, but just so-so on the average improved trail where more comfort matters. One big criticism I have is the shoelaces. I get that Sitka wants these to be waterproof so they used a waterproof material for the shoelaces, but I don’t care for it. It feels catchy and cheap, like a banger acrylic or something like that. I’ve had outdoor rug material that felt similarly. This might just be personal preference here. Overall, I like the trail shoes, and will definitely be using them for hiking before winter hits. ... show more

Cool looking and comfortable support hiking shoes!
Size: 10 Color: Black
UPDATE 8/24/26 After a couple of uses I can say that these start off a tiny bit stiff but break in pretty quick and easily. Even out of the box they are very comfortable especially on the foot bed. After break in they seem to form to your feet. I’m really enjoying the control and feel of them. They look great. Awesome hiking or workout shoe. Quick Summary: These are excellent low top hiking shoes. They have a great rugged appearance with lightweight comfort and awesome traction. They look even better in person and feel ready for a variety of terrain. Pros • Excellent traction • Lightweight and comfortable • Low top design allows good ankle articulation • Durable construction with reinforced toe and heel • Breathable upper provides some protection from the elements • Comfortable on different types of terrain • Rugged looking • Quality laces and overall construction Cons • Low top design provides less ankle support than a traditional hiking boot Review: These are some great hiking shoes. I really like the low top design because it gives you plenty of ankle articulation while still providing the traction and protection you want from an outdoor shoe. The traction on the bottom of the soles works really well, especially when dealing with loose or uneven terrain. I also have to say that these shoes look really cool. There is something about a rugged looking pair of hiking shoes that just makes them more enjoyable to wear, and these look even better in person than they did in the pictures. They have a durable construction, quality laces, and a breathable upper that provides a nice balance between ventilation and protection from the outside elements. The soles provide plenty of grip while still being comfortable enough for different types of terrain. They are also lightweight, which makes them easy to wear for extended periods without feeling like you have heavy boots on your feet. SITKA makes some amazing outdoor products, and these shoes definitely fall in line with that reputation. Overall: These are a great shows with style, comfort, durability, and traction. If you like to hike or simply spending time outdoors, these shoes are built to handle it. Product Rating: 9.5/10 Why this rating: The lightweight construction, traction, comfortable fit, and rugged appearance make these a very impressive pair of outdoor shoes. They look great in person and perform just as well as they look. Disclaimer: I received this product through the Amazon Vine program in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. My rating and comments are based on my personal experience with the product. ... show more

Comfortable shoe, tons of grip, love it!
We all know when we see the SITKA name that we're looking at premium gear... In some cases it's worth it, others maybe not quite as much. What I can tell you is that in this case, it is absolutely worth the money. This trail shoe fits great... Typically I look for a wide but that wasn't an option here. That's OK though, there's just enough room for it to be comfortable despite my slightly wide foot and it does a great job of providing support as well. Looks wise I'd call this a win. It's a "trail shoe" that doesn't scream trail shoe and you can go from trail to casual wear if needed. It's built durable and feels like a quality shoe in this price range should feel with nice touches where you need them. One of those is the grippy parts on the laces... those white areas on the laces are a material that's not quite velcro but has some grip to it. These things are going to stay laced... it's such a cool little concept I don't know why I haven't seen that in other shoes. They look good AND they are functional! If you're into trail running or light bouldering you'll appreciate the grip on these. The soles have grip for days... smooth surface or loose surface, it's clearly designed for both. These definitely became my new go to for light duty hiking or any kind of trail running. ... show more

Extremely uncomfortable. But of good quality and have good details.
Size: 9 Color: Black
I was so excited to try out these trail runners and do you feel testing with them in my capacity as a niche hunting, outdoor, and dog pro. When you get an opportunity to review Sitka you don't say no. I really should have said no. I'm extremely disappointed with these shoes and they are probably one of the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever tried. But they do have some nice details which I will try my best to discuss because while they are incredibly uncomfortable for me everyone's feet are different and that doesn't necessarily mean that they will be uncomfortable for you. I want to note here in the beginning that these are not the water resistant models. Which is good, the industry has been trending away from membranes for good reason. Let's begin on comfort. They fit unusually narrow for a men's trail runner. They're supposed to be D width but they fit narrower than that and when comparing the insoles with other similar trail runners the Ascent does indeed run more narrow. They aren't available in a wide currently, but if you're interested in these shoes I would hold off until a wide is offered. They are heavily cushioned and supported with a pretty high stack height and a moderately noticeable drop. I found the support to be in the wrong spots and instead of supporting my feet it was digging into areas that didn't need it uncomfortably. Particularly around the midfoot. Pulling the insole did not make a difference. The heel counter digs and flexes uncomfortably into the back of my heel and ankle. It's always noticeable and always unpleasant. Wearing the shoes for a few minutes we'll leave my feet hurting for hours. For testing purposes I've worn these all day and had to be off my feet for the next day because it's just so unbelievably unpleasant. It's not a wrong shoe size issue. Length are the appropriate size, if anything they run a little long which is actually good because it allows for better compatibility with thicker socks which is what you want from a hunting focused trail runner and fast hiker. It also has the necessary extra eyelets for heel lock lacing which is always an appreciated detail and is really helpful for a technical trail runner, especially when navigating rough terrain. But all of that doesn't make me shoes anymore comfortable. The heart and soul of any good shoe is the outsole. It's been my professional experience that outside of a few specialty examples, anything that isn't a Vibram or Michelin outsole underperforms in outdoor settings. These shoes don't have either outsole instead using a proprietary rubber and tread made for Sitka called the Apex Tread System outsole. One of the main shortcomings of non-Vibram or Michelin outsoles is they don't tend to last as long. It's hard to test that aspect of the outsole, especially given how unbelievably uncomfortable these shoes are. The other shortfall tends to be traction. In my testing I found the traction to be okay. It's really tacky and provides good grip on interior surfaces. It's still an outdoor outsole so things like pavement will drastically speed up the wear and tear on the outsole. In outdoor settings, I found the outsole does a good job on rock and hard pack dirt. But struggles a lot on muddy surfaces, loose soil, and more temperate forests. Something that Sitka seems to be cognizant of because pretty much all the marketing focuses on high elevation and high angle hunts on rock. The tread pattern is decent, it avoids many of the pitfalls I often see with more outdoor rec focused outsoles. The lugs are spaced far enough apart that they self clean and are less likely to get gummed up with debris that limits your traction over time. There is a generous breaking lug on the back that helps greatly with descending and the outsole wraps forward to the top of the toes with lugs to help with ascent. But do note that the lugs are extremely small and don't provide enough bite for denser forests and wetter loser soil, or more sandy conditions. You really need something with deeper more aggressive lugs. Still, they will be fine on higher traffic and well-maintained trails which have more hard pack ground. Despite my comfort issues with these shoes. They do have some nice details and they are well made and are clearly of good quality. I think they are worth their price point and as I said at the beginning of my review, well I found them truly unpleasant to wear, I've been forcing myself to wear them while writing this review and I know I'm going to regret it all throughout tomorrow because of how painful my feet are going to be, this may be a good fit for someone else. I still think a more established footwear brand that uses Vibram or Michelin would be a better choice especially one with deeper lugs, but these shoes may fit the right niche and price level for someone, especially if you're a Sitka superfan or benefit from one of their pro deals. Just make sure you're able to return these if they don't fit your use case or you don't find them comfortable. ... show more

Comfortable Fit and Excellent Traction
Size: 10 Color: Black
These trail shoes fit my feet very naturally. Once laced, they hold snugly around my foot and provide support just below the ankle, which I appreciate on gravel paths because the extra coverage helps keep small pebbles from getting inside the shoe. The toe box gives my toes plenty of room to spread naturally while the rest of the shoe still feels supportive and secure. I never get the feeling that my foot is sliding around inside. The traction is also excellent. They grip well on uneven surfaces, but I was also surprised by how much traction they provide on flat surfaces like concrete. The laces have a thoughtful feature: they have a braided texture that seems to help them hold onto themselves when tied. The laces form tight knots and seem much less prone to loosening or coming untied. Color-wise, I would describe the black as more of a soft black rather than an especially deep, glossy black. The material also has an appearance that looks like it should be relatively easy to keep clean, which is a nice quality for an outdoor shoe. Overall, these are comfortable, secure trail shoes with excellent traction and practical details that make them well suited to walking and light hiking. ... show more

Very lightweight and comfortable trail shoes
These SITKA Ascent trail shoes are very lightweight and comfortable. The tread is aggressive enough to provide good traction even on rocky terrain. The insoles are made of basic foam but I will likely be swapping them out for ones with more arch support because my feet have high arches. The shoelaces are kinda strange because the material is very rough for a shoelace and not what I would've expected. The heels have a good cushion resistance made into them and they have a bit of a springy feel which I really like because they make me feel lighter on my feet. If these shoes would've had better insoles and shoelaces they would've been a five star product. I would recommend this product. ... show more
