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
Absolutely love these. I ordered the size I always wear and there isvroom for semi thick socks. I wear a 9 and they don't make my feet look big. I think they are very stylish and comfortable. They are a tad heavy but not more than other hiking shoes I have owned. Shipping was right on schedule and fast.
I am very happy with these shoes. They have the best quality you could get and the price was very reasonable. They are waterproof and also they are not heavy. I had a great experience hiking with these shoes.
I had to return the shoe in my normal size of 9 1/2 and re-order a size 10 for this shoe to fit with a normal, not heavy sock. This fits smaller than other shoes I have purchased of this brand Northside. This is a firm shoe with decent support. I can't feel 2 inch gravel through the sole. But the size 10 came with shoelaces that are too short. The shoe narrows at the toes making the toe box snugger than the rest of the shoe. The right shoe has the 2 eyelets for the shoe lace off center so the shoe looks laced up crooked. But it is a sturdy shoe. So I took two stars off for poor quality control. Otherwise this would be a good shoe if you size up. If you want to wear a winter weight heavy sock you may well need to size up a whole size. With a larger shoe I can wear them comfortably for about 8 hours.
I originally purchased the same hiking shoe in my true size based on some reviews; however, they were too small and had to be returned. I went up a half size and the fit was much better. They are extremely comfortable but heavier than my previous pair of hiking shoes. I'm glad I wore thinner hiking socks...if any thicker, I might have had to go up another half size.Our hike was a moderate level through steep inclines, many mossy rocks and thick forest tree trunks. Both mountain climbs totaled about 4-5 hours, and the shoes held up really well with very minimal slipping on rocks. We didn't experience any streams, so I can't comment whether or not they are waterproof. During our climb, they were very comfortable and allowed me to move quickly.One shortcoming to mention is that my toes painfully pressed against the toe of the shoes during our descent (and yes, I know enough to descend "heel-toe"). I've never experienced this with other hiking shoes, and I don't know what I could do to prevent it from happening again.
A little large, but very comfortable. Should’ve bought a size down
Fast shipping. Ordered my size and they fit very well...with room for thick socks. Very comfy. They feel sturdy but not too heavy. Let's see how they hold up on a hiking trip to Machu Picchu...
I wear them every day for most of the day. I ordered a half size bigger and can wear two pairs of socks and have plenty of room for my toes when hiking, running, etc. I ordered a pair of Columbia at the same time. The Columbia weren't as comfortable and more pricey, so I returned them.
I am going on a trip to Glacier National Park this summer and I was looking for a pair of hiking shoes. I looked at many different pairs on Amazon and read reviews. I decided to try these and after reading the reviews I thought I should probably order a size 7.5 despite the fact that I usually wear a 7. When the shoes came I tried them on the 7.5 was too big, my heel was slipping and there was a lot of extra room in the toe area. I immediately jumped right on Amazon and ordered the 7 -- well the arrived yesterday and they were too small! I thought maybe I would try walking around in them, but I only put one shoe on before realizing they were just too short and not even walking around to "break them in" was going to help. I was very disappointed that the sizing is so off on these shoes. So now in the last 4 days I have returned both pairs of shoes. So to be fair, they don't fit as expected but they didn't fit any other choice :(
