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!

Super comfy, awesome for anyone who is on their feet all day or who do a lot of walking. I literally own 3 pairs - one for work (surgical nurse), one for every day and one for farm work. True to size, great arch, no complaints at all
I walk a lot on concrete or rocks exercising a standard poodle puppy! Miles a day. My last Saucony shoes were too short so I ordered up a half size. Toe box was too wide, arch in the wrong place, and my foot had no support. So back to a tried and true brand Merril! They are expensive but imagine my surprise to find a pair of 9 medium used at a great price. They truly were like new. Very clean. Best et the fit was perfect. My foot is not narrow but not plump. I have a high arch so need support. These are a true 9 medium with a AA heel. That is what a well made 9 medium should be. I am over the moon happy! My last concrete 3 miles was a joy. Looking forward to many more. I may have to buy another pair in another color full price!
I wore these to Yosemite to hike. They are comfortable and light weight. I’m about a 10 shoe size women. I bought an 11. They were maybe 1/2 size too big. I just tired the laces tight. I had no problem hiking in them all week. I was very happy with them. They look nice too. I just ordered my husband a men’s pair to try in the same brand and style.
These are probably the most comfortable basic shoes I've ever had. I wear Merrills exclusively for hiking snd just needed a good every day shoe. These are the best! I can wear them to work, into Costco, then up a trail. Have worn them all day and my feet don't hurt. I'm a size 10 and the 10 fit great (sometimes Merrills run a little small).
I am an avid exercise walker (on sidewalks/roads) for about 8 months of the year and need good arch support (think like Birkenstocks) with a soft but supportive insole. Decided on more of a trail walker shoe, because I do occasionally walk on trails and wanted a bottom sole that works well with uneven terrain. My Merrell Moab 2's, bought many years ago, are kind of heavy and have always had an uncomfortably hard insole, even on minimal length trails. I don't like added things in my shoes, like comfort inserts.Tried the Moab Flight and so far they are quite decent, but have not walked more than half a mile at a time in them. The real test is my usual 3-4 miles (though I know by 1.5-2 miles), several times per week walks, when the weather is a bit warmer (hopefully soon!). The left is a bit tight, but that's because my left foot is bigger (happens in most shoes), but it also does seem to accommodate my various ankle supports I wear when distance walking, due to a severe sprain 2 years ago.Previously I wore Asics Gel Nimbus, but last one I could wear was the 18, because they changed the shoe width to way too narrow for my feet on subsequent models and the wides didn't fit right.Then tried Hoka One One Rincon 2 which was the PERFECT shoe. When those wore out and that model was now a 3, they had changed their sole and seemingly put it in a much higher priced model. The insole was now literally painfully hard. Took me two pairs to figure out the problem. I didn't need an almost $200 shoe just to walk a few evenings for a few miles after work, so I didn't try their other models that does have that insole. I got the Mach 4 instead (at a bit of a higher price) and it's just ok. It served it's purpose, but now I need a new shoe, so I'm trying Merrell.I'll update this when I walk more in them.
These are the first style of Merrell women's shoes I've purchased and I've tried on many others. They are light weight and have adequate arch support. They run slightly wide and slightly short for a size 7.5.
Light and nice shoes ⭐️⭐️⭐️
