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
Bought these for my wife who is a little style-conscious and city girl, for travel and nature walks/hikes. Took her a bit to come around but now she approves! We got 1/2 size large as others recommended and they fit perfect. Note that the shoes come with a 2nd set of laces that match the shoe finish, and they look great.
These Keens are so comfy! I got them to wear on a recent trip to NYC and they were perfect for jogging through airports, long flights, and trekking all over the place, my feet were happy the whole time. And they look great too! Ordered my usual Keen size and they fit perfectly. If you’re keen on Keens you will probably love these Jaspers.
So a month ago I bought and returned these because when I tried them on they felt ridiculously narrow and tight. Plus I went a half size bigger because I walk a lot and wanted to ensure comfort. I was so upset with Keen because my new regular hiking boots (targhee II) were too small after buying the same pair I always get, and I had to go another half size bigger and now I feel like I'm in clown shoes and it's embarrassing, when I'm usually strutting my keens. Anyhoooo...I really wanted these blue shoes. I decided to go another half size bigger and it turned out I accidentally bought the same size I had returned a month ago. This time I opened the laces up and spent a half day around my house in them...and that's when I realized they actually fit pretty well. Just had to loosen the laces. They actually slip on and off after a week and I don't even have to tie em up. They still feel like a teeny bit too small in the length and today my toe slammed the front...and that triggered me into remembering my targhees and how they usually are too big at this size and now they're too small, and I haven't gained a bunch of foot fat...but overall I am pleased with my blue keens and glad I finally got a pair before they all sold out, as it normally happens.P.S. Deer Keen, if you're going to be so darn expensive, don't change up the sizing on us. We rely on you that way. We need to know when we're out on the trail or have an impulse to buy, we can count on the size and fit we trust.
Very comfortable. Ordered .5 size bigger and fits perfectly.
I usually wear 7.5 size shoes but with these I actually got 7.5 - 8 - 8.5 to try….the 8 was the best fit so I recommend a half size up. They are super cute and comfortable. As keens usually are. My feet are narrow with my second toe longer than My big toe.
I have had many pairs of Keens over the years, and had been eyeing different incarnations of the Jasper shoe for a long time. This was the first opportunity that I could get a pair that would fit my feet in a color I actually liked, so I went for it. I *want* to love them, but I don't...A couple cons:I had read reviews that they ran small, so I ordered pairs in 2 sizes: a half and a full size larger than my normal size in Keens. I ultimately went a full size larger, because it was the pair I could walk in without my toes touching the front of the show. A full size larger than my normal size is a little big, but I can walk in them, and the shoes have enough lace that I can tie them tighter if need be. For reference, the photo includes one of these shoes, a full size larger than I normally wear (on the left), and one of the Keen boots I bought this winter in my normal size (on the right).I also wouldn't use these as an approach shoe, or for any large amount of walking. The sole is pretty thin, and it feels more like a minimalist shoe when walking around my urban neighborhood. I almost feel like I'm wearing my less aggressive climbing shoes (which are comfortable... for climbing shoes), so I don't think I'd ever actually wear them as an approach shoe when I have better options available (e.g. my other Keen shoes).Pro:They're cute, and they're not as bulky as other casual "not quite for hiking" shoes.I'll keep them and I'll wear them, I just probably won't walk miles at a time in them.
These shoes are awesome for light hiking walking or working in an office with cement floors. Very kind in feet!!
Lost out on my money. Shoe size didn't fit and both private carriers and USPS couldn't recognize the mailing address for the return.
