walking boots
Sturdy outdoor shoes
Walking boots are sturdy footwear designed for hiking and rough terrain, typically ankle-height or higher with thick soles for traction and support.
They're built to handle uneven ground, mud, and long distances: I need to break in my new walking boots before the trip.
The term is more common in British English; Americans often say hiking boots.
