About Hiking Shoes
Invest in Your Adventure: Choosing the Perfect Hiking Shoe for Every Hike
The beauty of hiking lies in its accessibility. All you need is a sense of adventure, a good pair of legs, and the right hiking shoes to explore breathtaking trails. But with a vast array of hiking shoes available, choosing the perfect pair can feel daunting. Don't worry, outdoor enthusiasts! This guide will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the world of hiking shoes, ensuring you find the ideal companion for every adventure, from leisurely strolls on groomed paths to challenging treks through rugged terrain.
Know Your Terrain: Matching Hiking Shoes to Your Adventures
The most important factor to consider when choosing hiking shoes is the type of terrain you'll be tackling. Here's a breakdown of popular hiking shoe options for different terrains:
- Day Hiking Shoes: These versatile shoes are ideal for well-maintained trails and moderate hikes. They offer good traction, comfort, and breathability for day trips on easy to moderate terrain.
- Backpacking Boots: For overnight backpacking adventures or hikes with heavier loads, consider backpacking boots. They provide superior ankle support, stability, and a sturdier sole for carrying a backpack comfortably on uneven or rough terrain.
- Trail Running Shoes: If you prioritize speed and agility on well-maintained trails, trail running shoes might be a good option. They offer lightweight construction, flexibility, and good traction for faster-paced hiking or trail running.
Considering the Elements: Waterproofing and Breathability
The weather conditions you'll encounter can influence your shoe choice:
- Waterproof Hiking Shoes: For hikes in wet or rainy conditions, consider waterproof hiking shoes. These shoes feature a waterproof membrane that keeps your feet dry while maintaining breathability.
- Breathable Hiking Shoes: For warm weather hikes or situations where breathability is a priority, choose breathable hiking shoes made from mesh or other lightweight materials.
Fit for Adventure: Ensuring Comfort on the Trail
Comfort is key for enjoyable hikes. Here's what to consider for a proper fit:
- Proper Sizing: Ill-fitting shoes can lead to blisters and fatigue. Get professionally sized for hiking shoes, considering factors like width and arch support.
- Try Before You Buy: Don't underestimate the importance of trying on hiking shoes with the socks you plan to wear on your hikes. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit with good heel lock.
- Break-in Period: New hiking shoes might feel stiff initially. Wear them for short walks before your big adventure to break them in and avoid blisters.
Invest in Your Adventure: The Perfect Hiking Shoe Awaits
The right hiking shoes can make all the difference in your hiking experience. By prioritizing the factors discussed in this guide, you can choose a pair that perfectly matches your hiking style, terrain, and weather conditions. Remember, comfortable and supportive hiking shoes are an investment in your outdoor adventures. So, lace up for your next hike with confidence, knowing you have the perfect footwear to conquer any trail!
User Reviews
I want to begin by stating that I am a Columbia stand through and through, but I’m not really a “shoe guy” in the sense that I’m not loyal to any particular brand like those crazy “On” people (like my wife) or Brooks, or Nikes. I own those other shoes, but they are just “meh” to me. Sure they’re great in their own right, but not SPECIAL! At this price, being rather budget friendly shoes, I was expecting more of the same: to be JUST another shoe, rather than THE shoe I will swear loyalty to and be the only shoe I’ll ever buy again (ok, maybe that’s a little dramatic). HOWEVER, this shoe is EVERYTHING I need in an everyday shoe. I’m very active, inside and outside everyday. I have used these shoes in the rain, playing sports inside on a basketball court (VERY GRIPPY which shocked me considering they are “hiking shoes”), walks around town, to church, and to the gym gym spending 45 minutes everyday on the elliptical and then doing intense weight training. ALL that to say that these shoes are incredibly comfortable, durable, supportive, water proof, practical and stylish. They can be worn for any occasion, with nice jeans, or old basketball shorts. You can go on a hike with these, or play indoor or outdoor soccer, etc. Truly the perfect shoe. I am going to order a second pair in a different color soon. Columbia nailed it again.
Nice matrerial, soft and lighgt weighted, easy to walk
These shoes are light-weight, very comfortable and waterproof . . . for a while. I bought them in late October and used them frequently for hiking, trail running, and walking my dog on wet grass or mud or even snow. They worked great and kept water out. However by April or so, they were no longer water proof. Creases form at the corners of where the toes bend and the material degrades there. The soles are wearing pretty quick too. But I got them 50% off ($65) and plan to buy another pair for $85 now. I can continue wearing the old ones where its dry and save the new ones for wet days. Also if you get the plain ones they look relatively normal for daily use unlike many of the weird futuristic looking neon atrocities that are available.In summary, they look good, fit great, feel comfortable, initially waterproof, but durability is only about 6 months.
My favorite shoe on the market. I have 3 pairs. I walk in them every day and they are super comfortable. Also really like that they are water resistant
At first these shoes didn't seem to fit right. My feet felt constricted and the shoe stiff. Once I wore them for a few days, though, they wore great and worked beautifully on a hike in Maui. Wet and muddy was no problem. The soles grip great. Love these!
During a walk when bended inner membrane lets water through.Soft sole, comfortable to wear.
I got these to replace my well worn Columbias. Super comfortable and look great. They are now my regular everyday shoes.
When these shoes arrived, I was very happy. They looked nice, good colors, good fit. However, after only a month or so of light (not everyday) use, commuting to and from work (not hiking or using in nature), the sides of the shoes were getting holes in them/fraying. I have narrow/normal feet - not wide - and my toes are not hitting the sides of the shoes. The holes are appearing where the shoe creases while walking.They were initially waterproof, but now water leaks through the holes in the sides (see photos). Also, not very important, but one shoelace is about 3 inches longer than the other.I did a lot of research before buying so I am very disappointed. Wish I could get my money back!
