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.

User Reviews
These shoes have exceeded my expectations! I ordered true to size.When they first arrived, they were tight and I initially thought I would have to return.I took out the insole and walked without it for one day. Put the insole back in and fit perfect, no more tightness. I have walked on every terrain, except ice and snow, in these and they have outperformed any shoes I've ever had.
Excellent hiker, rugged. Very comfortable & waterproof! Love these shoes so much I bought a second pair in a different color! Great for trail hiking and road walking. Truly a great shoe. Super supportive and comfortable! I usually wear a 9 in regular shies but size up to a 9.5 in hikers and running shoes. The 9.5 was way too long and I sent them back and got a 9 which was a perfect fit!
Overall I like it, but I bought it for summer weather and it’s little hot during warm and hot weather.For my normal size 9, it feels tight
This shoes are great for the purpose, the price and the quality:PROS:Love the color paletteTrue waterproofvery good traction in wet/rocky/slippery terrainPrice is reasonable compared with other more expensive brands like MerrellQuality is awesome compared with other more expensive brands like MerrellVery conformableCONS:Runs a but narrow in the frontAvailability of other color and sizes is very limited (a pity for such a great shoe)
I need to start out by saying I LOVE my Br@@ks sneakers! BUT I walk my dog every day in a grassy area and every morning my shoes would get soaked through to my socks and my feet would be wet! I searched endlessly for a waterproof running/walking/trail shoes I found these Columbia‘s! The price was fair and the description accurate. If you look at the photos I wore them this morning for my walk and you can clearly see the color change on my original shoes as to where they’re wet and the Columbia shoes the water beaded it up. They are very comfortable too! I ordered the same size I wear in other sneakers and these fit perfectly!
They are narrow, but I guess I have narrow feet. I could have gotten my regular size, but I got half a size bigger. Now, I have some wiggle room. Very comfortable and look nice.
I keep looking for a waterproof shoe for an Alaska Cruise I will be going on. Because I wear a 12N, they are hard to find. I decided to try these shoes because people said they were narrow.My initial feeling was the back of my ankle where the heel notch is. On my other athletic-type shoes, that area is much softer. I wore these around the house with wool socks, which were better than regular socks. I found the shoe stiff, not just the heel notch, but the whole shoe. I was taught to never expect to "break in" a shoe to make it comfortable; if the shoe isn't comfortable when you try it on, don't buy it.Next, I added my orthotics because I wasn't getting very much support for me. That did not work at all. The toe box became too small.I hope these work for someone and I will continue to look for the proper shoes.
cushioned and fits hard to fit feet--a huge win.
