Are these suitable for hiking and walking?

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

I walk a lot, and they were still comfortable as far as heat was concerned. But I don't really know if these are considered breathable.

No, I haven't noticed that; however, I use them for walking and not running.

I use them for extreme hiking - Cliffs, Ice, Frozen rivers Etc... You should probably look at a pair of good running shoes with spikes if the conditions call for it to be icy. I would not use these in a Marathon.

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

No, they are water resistant. THey could handle a misting of sorts or the dampness from being in your backpack that has a pack cover, but not in direct rain or falling in water.

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.

Absolutely! The are great on any surface. I have one pair that is tucked in my suitcase specifically for travel.

I wouldn't think so since they tend to get pretty uncomfortable just in walking. I never got much use out of these. It's been sitting in the shoe closet.

I have not yet used them for hiking in warm weather, but I wouldn't hesitate in not using them.

No. They don't provide enough cushioning for running long distances but are excellent for walking on all types of terrain.

No. These are specifically made for athletic use. These aren't made for walking in heels, which I do frequently. You want these: http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Scholls-DreamWalk-Insoles-Womens/dp/B0020I3750/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1410496324&sr=8-3&keywords=dr+scholls+for+her+heel+liners

Yes, the running feature works well for walking and hiking. If you're also a runner, however, then walks will really pull down the average speed in your history. You can work around this by creating custom spreadsheets and downloading the data off the watch, but there is not a separate "walk" feature on the watch.

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.

I would think they would have too much "give" while walking. I like my hiking bots tight. However I do understand the rock comment.

get the yaktrax walking or pro. i think the walking is the cheapest too and they are more meant for hiking.

Not really. They are of poor quality , light weigh. You would be well advised to go to something different.
