Why We Love This Deal
When I think of Goodyear, I don’t think of tires first. I actually think about Goodyear rubber that’s often used on the bottom of durable Skechers shoes or as the rugged welt sole in Dr. Martens boots. What, then, could be better than a pair of fully-made-by-Goodyear hiking boots, sold at Walmart for just $35?
The Goodyear Ontario Outdoor Hiker Work Boots are now 36% off. Some sizes are already selling out, however, and the black colorway is nearly gone. Even when rugged hiking boots from the likes of Keen or Arc’teryx go on sale, they’re still over three times this price, so it’s only natural that the supply of this shoe will dwindle rapidly.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: From 7 to 13, wide sizes available
- Color Options: 2
- Key Materials: Synthetic upper and tire-tread-inspired thermoplastic rubber outsole
- Best Use Case: This is a rugged boot with excellent grip.
This is a strong lace-up book made for hiking and other outdoor activities. But it’s not the laces you care about on a Goodyear boot, is it? The outsole is made of thermoplastic rubber, a type of rubber that tends to stay strong and durable despite repeated bending. A column of tire-like “V” thread runs through the middle of the outsole pattern, while extra ridges are placed at the toe and heel for tougher grips where it counts.
If you want the shoe, the biggest thing you have to worry about at this time is the available sizing. For one, it’s depleting. Additionally, if you wear a size 13, for some reason, Walmart wants you to tap “View all 13” before you’re allowed to see it. This shoe is available in 13, so don’t miss it. Your best bet is with the olive colorway, which has a strong woodsman flair to it, though the black with red highlights is still available in select sizes if you look.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One of the most common things shoppers say about these boots is how lightweight they are. One person, who does a lot of landscaping, also said, “They don't slip on rocks or grass,” while also saying they are “well-cushioned for walking on hard surfaces like cement.”
But you don’t have to go on hikes or be out in nature to enjoy them. Another wearer reported, “I use the boots every day at work, and so far, I have been pleasantly surprised.”
The Goodyear Ontario Outdoor Hiker Work Boots are just $35 right now, a price that you don’t have to be a bargain hunter to realize is a good deal.
