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

By prioritizing the factors discussed in this guide, you can choose a pair that perfectly matches your hiking style, terrain, and weather conditions.

User Reviews
These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever purchased. They fit & felt great right out of the box i.e. no break in required. I can't get over the room for your toes. The fit you're foot great , not allowing any sliding around which would cause blisters.
Great shoes for working in them all day and standing for long periods of time. Also, fit is great, they're wide enough to accomodate my wide feet.
Like all of the shoe manufacturers that forget that half the populations 2nd toe is longer than the big toe. This shoe is a tough fit for me. Also the inside of the shoe feels hard and unyielding. Other than that they are a very durable well built water resistant shoe.
I've had trouble with plantar fasciitis this last year, possibly caused by shoes that were too tight, with a toe box too narrow to give my feet room to move, and no support. Cheap shoes just no longer work for me. Keen have room in the toe area, and going up a size seems to have helped. Amazon has good prices on Keen shoes and sizes that fit my bigfoot feet. I've already ordered a couple more pairs in different color and styles to switch through the week.
They seem very durable, waterproof, and well made but are not as comfortable as the Targee shoes I have been wearing. These are cheaper so I guess that is why. They pinch and feel tight around the ankle.
Have had several pairs of Keens over the years. As a UPS driver I am rough on shoes. Keens have held up the best for me compares to others lasting on the average about a year and a half. Have worn these maybe 25 times now and the sole is coming off both shoes in the same place. Very disappointed and out of that money because past the return time.
I have been wearing KEENs Utility Men's Detroit Low ESD Soft Toe for years. That was a great shoe, fit me perfect and lasted. They stopped making them, so after trying a few different shoes, I settled on these.They are roomy but clunky, after wearing them for an extended period of time I noticed the bottoms of my feet hurt. They really don't have a lot of cushion, I tried a insert, but it made them to tight to wear. They are heavy and collect dust like a magnet and I'm constantly getting little rocks in the shoe.Its a good looking shoe, just not up to the quality that Keen used to produce. I do not think these shoes are good for trail hiking.
I bought these in preparation for hiking in national parks in CA and TX this fall. I used Amazon's try before you buy program. I am currently breaking them in for my big trips. They are fantastic. I especially like the wider toe box that lets your toes move a bit and breathe instead of being wedged into the toe of the shoe. Very comfortable; I use them with medium weight wool hiking socks. I initially ordered a half size larger than my normal size 10 (as I was told by a different source). I had to return them. Then I discovered them on Amazon for a lot less money. I like these so much that I bought Keen's for my daughter and granddaughter since they camp and hike a lot. Buy them from Amazon. I don't think you will be disappointed.
