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
I am in LOVE with these Moab 2 hiking shoes by Merrell. I went to Columbia recently and almost bought some hiking shoes but decided I wanted to do some more research. I talked to a guy working in a different shoe store that sold many brands and he suggested I look at Merrells. I’d never even heard of them before, so I did some research and I found these Moab 2 hiking shoes and read a LOT of the reviews. Because if I’m going to drop a chunk of change on hiking shoes, they better be worth it. Previous reviews state that these shoes don’t need a “break in” period, and that’s absolutely true. These were super comfortable from first wear. I have pretty big feet for a lady- I wear a size 9-10. My feet are also wide and flat. I didn’t buy these in wide, I bought the regular ones and they’re still perfect. And the arch support is amazing! There’s plenty of room in the toe box, but not so much that my feet slide around like other hiking shoes. The grip on the bottom is really sturdy and feels like actual rubber, not the plastic feel like others have switched to recently. I would highly recommend these to people who love hiking and are in need of a sturdy hiking shoe. They’re also super light! I don’t feel like these weigh my feet down at all!
I love Merrell shoes, and their women’s Moab 2 GTX hiking shoes were perfect right out of the box, having quality in all these: comfort, fit, style, and hiking itself! When hiking, I stepped in a huge puddle almost submerging my entire foot, not quite all the way though. My husband alerted me because I had felt nothing. Stepping out of the puddle, my foot remained dry with the benefit of Gortex, the GTX in the shoes. More expensive, perhaps, but these were perfect for me—I tried many hiking shoes before finding these, and they are so worth it.
I just came back from my recent Iceland trip, and I bought this hiking shoe a few days before my trip. At first, I wondered if I needed to brake this in. To my surprise, I am very happy with this shoe. I used it to hike up in some of the rocky and tough hikes in Iceland and my feet never felt sore or tired. It was very comfortable, perfect for my feet. There was a time that it was raining in Iceland and sometimes I have to step into paddles but this shoe kept me dry. I am very satisfied with it and I highly recommended it.
Thanks for the great experience of purchasing and using hiking shoes.The shoes and combination of colors are outstanding.The durability of the laces is not so good.Is there a chance to get the pair of spare laces?
I love this hiking shoe. I have put in 17 miles since purchase, this shoe needs no time to break-in. They are trail ready straight out of the box. It has solid support, traction, and comfort to keep hiking safe and make it enjoyable. I also used these in slushing/snow/wet/muddy conditions and my feet stayed dry. Would highly recommend.
I have worn Merrell MOAB 2 waterproof hiking shoes for years. I like the fit, comfort, grip, etc, but they were not waterproof. I decided to try these since Gore Tex seemed like it would be a a more waterproof lining. They are not as comfortable, but because of a hope they would really be waterproof, I tried them. Sadly, I was disappointed. While somewhat water resistant, they are NOT WATERPROOF. A short walk in long, wet grass and my feet were soaked. Wish I had tested them before the return window ended.
This is a great work shoe for people on their feet all day! I walk about 25,000- 35,000 steps in a single shift in the trades field. These shoes have been a life and body saver! They do take some time to break in. I usually wear them around the house for a few hours a day for around 2-3 weeks. That being said, once they are broken in they are an amazing work shoe! The Vibram soles are great on my feet and help absorb all of the walking on my knees. I purchased the color Sedona Sage as I was looking for a more professional color with a touch of feminine in the mint color. The only thing that I would change is if they could add a slip resistant/ oil resistant bottom. But these are originally meant for hiking. My last pair lasted me an entire work year with lots of wear and tear. I still use them as an old pair, kept in my locker, for the really dirty jobs at work. I highly recommend these for anyone who walks a lot at work! And this brand will continue to be my go to work shoe/boot.
The width, toe box and show overall is great. I took out the insole and added my own arch support, which I do with all shoes and boots, and it fit perfectly. I’m very happy with this show. And the color is wonderful. So glad I found it and bought it. I bought 8.5 women’s which is my size and it fits right. For real hiking I will still be able to add one more thin wool sock with no problem. It has amazing support all around my foot which is what I need for my feet.
