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
Loved the shoe. Color. Material. Style. A bit too narrow. Right foot bunionette. :(
This shoe is without a doubt the most comfortable hiking shoe I have ever worn. It also serves as an "around the town" shoe. For me, the shoe did not require any break-in period and fit extremely well. I really like that there is no tongue on the shoe - the upper is one piece - so it slips on quickly. The tread on the shoe is amazing and really grips rough surfaces. Two things I wish Keen would incorporate in the shoe are: longer shoe laces and a heel area pull loop.
I wanted to like these shoes as they looked great online. When I tried them on they were instantly uncomfortable: the forefoot was tight ( and I have fairly narrow feet). The heels were wide, so loose that my heels kept lifting out of them and I wasn’t impressed with the treads. These definitely didn’t appear to be designed for a women’s foot last. Sorry, but back they went.
Way too narrow. I buy Keen all of the time, these do not fit the same. Hot spot where bellows are. Very, very disappointed in these shoes.
I'm a BIG fan of Keens. I've worn them for years, and will continue to buy and wear them. I bought these specifically because I was visiting Costa Rica in the rainy season. They were comfortable and waterproof, however I found them to have almost no traction walking on any slick, wet surfaces. I slipped a number of times wearing them. The soles just aren't grippy at all, which is ironic given they're designed for wearing in wet situations. They're going back, unfortunately.
Nice shoe, looks well made and is good looking, too, and fit well, but too inflexible for my needs, way too bulky.
100000% happy with these!!! I don’t have good stores near me to try on a variety of waterproof hiking shoes. I knew I didn’t want boots- too heavy and rub on ankles and stuff. Used Prime wardrobe to order a few styles and I loved these. My Keens and my son’s Keens were waterproof the entire trip even in good puddles, mud, and 3mi of snow hiking.Comfy, lightweight, very sturdy toe area. I would buy more of these if I lived in a more rugged terrain but we live in FL and only so serious hikes on vacation!
Comfortable and versatile, and my orthotic fits perfectly. I never want to take these off or wear any other shoe! I have put miles and miles walking and hiking on these! And my feet are still so happy despite my plantar fascitis! Buying again! I wish i could have them as dressshoes!
