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!

Walking 8 mi a day and exercise classes.
Really like shoe, very comfortable. Toe box is tight, only complaint.
Liked the color and the fit
I have always been able to slip right into ANY Keen shoe right out of the box with a perfect fit. I did not expect a Keen shoe to be so narrow. Otherwise the shoe appears to have all the good qualities with good arch support, great tread and overall good workmanship - too bad they do not fit, and do not come in wide - I would put up with the wide width for these.
Toe box was small and the shoe was very rigid. Usually keens have larger toe box.Great tread though!
These are lightweight, comfortable and breathable with good support, so great for warm weather hiking and all around wear. I have two pair now, and wore the navy ones daily for six weeks of travel. They have good traction on rocky trails as well as rainy city streets, and look sleeker than the typical hiking shoes. I took one star off because the lining on the padding at the top of the heels wore away after all the hard use on my trip, but they haven't become uncomfortable and the rest of the shoes look almost new.
I know I know, I read more than one reviewer say they were narrow but somehow thought that their feet were just somehow ‘freakishly’ narrow. I mean, it’s not like I have clown feet after all. But these shoes, while stylish for keen, to say nothing of comfortable, we’re as if they were made by some elves who never laid eyes on a pair of keen before or who had no idea of keen sizes.May be that was the idea.After all, their marketed as kind of a tennis shoe, shoe, and who wants to be ‘walking/running’ around town in clod hoppers. Still, I think they could have managed to make this same, comfortable, stylish shoe in a size wearable by people with feet wider than toddlers.
I only wear Keen shoes because of the larger toe box. No problem with that on these shoes, though the shoe seems to be lacking in quality compared to other Keen styles I’ve bought in the past. But what bothered me were the tiny shoelace holes it had, making it very hard to trade out with other laces. The new ones would need to be on the very thin side. The present laces are of an odd texture, are harder to pull & tighten, but they do stay tied. One may want to skip buying these shoes.
