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
This is a very nice shoe , the 3rd pair I have had so far. Very comfortable and durable. The insert comes out which is great to air/ dry it out or if you have your own insert you like to use instead. The past pairs have held up quite well so I assume this will also. One issue I had on my last pair was the toe reinforcement material eventually ripped open, it's a thin material. Shoe was otherwise fine.The sizing in my opinion runs a bit small length wise (or my feet grew as I got older). I ended up going with 1/2 a size larger then my typical size. Feels right now.I'll probably will buy a 4th pair if still around when these get retired./G
I returned the shoes for poor fit
I’m a big Merrell Moab fan. I also have another pair of these (not waterproof) for hot and dry hiking conditions, and a pair of high tops for backpacking and especially rough terrain. They have terrific tread (but since they also have a thin insole, that makes for a hard sole, so I find them a bit uncomfortable for extensive walking on pavement or surfaced trails, and use well-padded running shoes for those surfaces). But for dirt, sand, slickrock, and forest trails, they are fantastic. And extremely durable—these shoes definitely won’t fall apart on you. I’ve had my high tops for six years now and logged hundreds of miles in them. I particularly like the fact that Merrells are available in wide sizes that comfortably fit my wide feet. In short, I highly recommend them! (And my usual hiking buddy bought a pair on my recommendation, and he loves them as much as I do!)
Been wearing Merrell shoes for years. Bought these because my old pair were getting a little old. These shoes are great. Got to test their waterproofness recently while trying to get to my car during a huge downpour. No problem, dry feet!
These shoes are really sturdy and look great. They're comfortable and provide decent support with a good insole (aftermarket, the one it comes with lasts like a week), but there's a big caveat. I've never experienced a shoe less slip resistant in my life. If the surface is wet, you will have zero traction. The shoe may last like 20 years but I think I'd honestly rather have a little wear and tear on the outsole than have to walk like my life depends on it every time it rains or I enter a wet area at work (because it does).
The shoes are a little stiff, but nevertheless very comfortable. I use them to go walking for exercise in heavy rain and they have proven worth the purchase. The no-slip soles also work great on wet sidewalks (and some limited experience in ice). No regrets.
Merrell's are one of the best for shoes and sneakers. They fit well, albeit a bit small. I would consider a 1/2 to a size up from your normal size.
These shoes are GREAT. I bought a pair for work because they are waterproof and we work in wet environments a lot, but they were so comfortable and well made that I bought another pair to wear at home too. (To have a clean pair that I could go out in public with.) I was looking for this style in a Colombia, Keen, or North Face, but found a style that I like better at a better price with this brand.
