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 liked the roomy toe box that Keen features.I wear a size 15 and this shoe fits well with medium to thick socks, otherwise they are a bit too loose.
These shoes were comfortable out of the box. The quality seems to be good and they're nice looking shoes. Now the real test will be how long they hold together and only time will tell that.
So, Being size 15, my selection of hiking shoe brands is somewhat limited. For ages, I used to wear Merell but decided to try something new. Keen does carry my size. I bought Targhee 3 on the 9th of September and returned it today..... less than a month, and about 120 city miles later, the counter lining is coming off - see pictures. I was mostly wearing them I the city - hardly a hiking-level product. On a side note - Keen likes to tell how they make or at least assemble their shoes in the USA, well these were made in India....
Keen's fit great. Broke them in around the house then took them on a trip. I was in love with Keen. So comfortable. Soles separated very quickly, re glued to no avail. Less than 20 miles and the sole fell off rendering these garbage. As you can see in the photos there is no wear they just fell apart. I didn't wear them right away so my return window closed. If I was hiking a remote area I would have lost my foot to frostbite. Shame on you Keen for abandoning quality control.
Sometimes the gluing fails too soon!In this case time will tell.
I usually wear a 14 and never have issues finding shoes that fit. Unfortunately, both the 14 and 15 fit poorly. The 14 is too short with my toes hitting the end of the toe box and the 15 allows my heel to lift. Sending these back and will be going with a different shoe.
I ordered size 15 after trying on size 16 of the same style and finding that 16 was way too large. The size 15 I received were too small.On top of that, the Keen logo on the tongue of the shoe on the shoes I received is embroidered. On the official Keen photos and on the Amazon product page, the Keen logo is stamped into the tongue material.Additionally, the caution symbol on the toe is the same color as the rest of the sole. On the official Keen website and on the Amazon product page, the caution symbol for the Bungee Cord/Black color should not be the same color as the rest of the sole material.Finally, the product arrived in non-original packaging without tags.
Much stiffer and less comfortable than Targhee 2. I don't see it as an improvement. Returning it and buying another pair of the Targhee 2's.
