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!

I have a pair of Keen hiking boots already, and wanted a low cut version for hotter weather. These are perfect. Ordered to size, 13W for me, and 13W fits perfect.
Using these for my work in my studio and a trip to Norway. Bought the 13 W, cause that's what I wear, It was a bit snug and would have been unconfortable with heavy socks. Order the 14 W and they fit perfect. Will take some breaking in but I've already taught an 8 hour class in them and feet felt better then my Sketchers. Highly recommend, but if you are going on a trip order them ahead of time to make sure they ft correctly. I've tried Merrell, but Keen has my vote.
This is a great shoe, great variety of sizes. Price seems fair. Shoe is heavy, waterproof is a nice feature for morning walking in grass. No more wet socks. Shoe is durable and should last for good while.
Great shoe and great size - only item is there’s no air vent for feet to breath -
Best fitting shoes/hikers I have ever worn. I do love these hikers!
I owned five pairs of Keens (Davenport, Summit County, Braddock, Durand II) before purchasing a pair of these in February 2022. Needless to say I’ve been a big fan of Keen for quite a few years. They’ve always fit great. I didn’t have time to try them out before leaving for New Orleans so decided to take them to walk the streets; plus they’d keep my feet dry from those unexpected puddles in the Quarter. :) Why not? They’ve always been perfect.Big mistake. The morning after a day of walking the tops of my feet were so sore I could barely stand or walk. It was that painful. But it couldn’t be the shoes, right? Keens are always perfect. So after a few hours the pain subsided enough for me to I try again. Same result the next morning, although not quite as bad... By the end of the week I could deal with it, so I simply concluded they required a little breaking in or aren’t the best walking shoesSo I’ve taken them out on the trail since then. I don’t experience the pain I experienced initially, but after repeated hikes my impression is roughly the the same every time. They feel horribly flat footed, thin, and lifeless. When I walk on gravel I feel as if I can sense every stone and pebble under my feet. After about five miles my feet are absolutely exhausted trying to walk in these. I’ve tried using new insets for more cushioning and support, but it’s just not enough.So yesterday I finally gave up. Faced up to the fact they simply aren’t for me, and ordered a similar pair offered offered by another popular manufacturer.I wish I could recommend these. I’ve really loved Keen. But there’s something about these shoes that simply don’t agree with me and I have to move on.Lots of people have had a great experience with the Targhee IIIs, but I’m not one of them. My relationship is over! (Keeping my Braddocks for the shipyard and my Durand IIs for my fall hikes, though—great boots!)
They fit really good..very comfortable design great shoes for my hiking needs
Loved the shoe and the fit. However they are now falling apart 1 month after the return period. Will contact Keen directly.
