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
Pay very close attention to the other reviews about this being a narrow fit - they are indeed narrow. I have a small narrow foot, so I'm able to work with that and use it to my advantage. I've spent the last day breaking these in - including loosening up the laces and wearing tape on the back of my foot. These are going to be perfect hiking shoes come warmer weather - they are lightweight and vented with a nice support & traction.
First day wore this, fit like an old glove. I like everything about it. Have a good arch support, pretty, light weight, airy ( important, since I have fungus toenails for being diabetic, so my feet need air circulation), Soft inside so I can just wear thin stockings and fit just perfect for my normal size 7.5. Sz 8 will be good if I wear a medium weight sock. Waiting for a black pair. This black/Steel is more of a dark gray color.
I did not like these shoes at first because the fit was too tight. I have worn them for several days now and they are much more comfortable. I know they don't have a wide-toe box like most Keen shoes, but they are meant to stabilize your foot while walking on rough terrain. I like them for their breathability, weight, color, arch support, grip, and overall appearance. I have bunions on both feet so my main concern was comfort. I purchased my usual size in Keens and the fit was perfect. I will use these mainly for walks and doing errands even though I can wear them all day. I recently bought the Keen NXIS Speed low vent hiker and these are my favorite hikers to date (very comfy). I bought them specifically for a summer trip to Yellowstone. I also purchased the Keen NXIS EVO, and although they are excellent shoes, I returned them as I could not wear them for more than a couple of hours at a time.
This shoe is very comfortable. The shoe is true to size. These are NOT waterproof, but water resistant. I live on a farm in the Midwest and have worked in the mud and the water puddles and they were great if it was raining or drizzling outside, but if you did put your foot in a puddle and the water got onto the fabric, it went through…beautiful shoe tho.
This is my third pair of Keens, already have a pair of their Mary Janes and leather Presidio. The Terradorra was a perfect fit and very comfortable right out of the box. Next time I will splurge and get the waterproof version. I highly recommend Keens for comfort and function for outdoor activities.
I bought these initially for the color because they match blue jeans. But, they are also comfortable, snug, work well on steep hiking trails. I like them so much, I bought a second pair for when my first pair eventually wears out.
Not sure what has happened to Keen, but these are not like the Keens I've been wearing for years. The 'arch support' that is mention is no where near your arch. No comfort at all and just not the quality in support from years past. Don't know what has happened, but just disappointing to say the least.
The toe box is definitely more narrow than typical Keens. The product photos don’t seem as if there’s that much of a difference. Here is a photo of these shoes next to NXIS from Keen. Terradora on the left in the 1st photo and the right on the tread photo. Definitely narrower and therefore had to return.
