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
Love the shoe, looks way better in person. Extremely tough leather upper and rubber surround used. Very grippy Vibram sole. The shoes do fit a tad bit small, maybe get a half size up and is not suited for wide feet. The shoe fits like a climbing shoe, very snug. On hot days my feet felt hot with the thick leather upper, rubber surround and Gore-tex lining, the shoe is not the most breathable shoe I've ever worn, but my feet sweat in every shoe, and it has not been an issue. On cooler days my feet temp felt very comfortable. I'm looking forward to the shoe breaking in, as its pretty stiff, it might take a longer than most hiking shoes, but I expect it to last a long time even in the volcanic rock I'm frequently hiking through. Bottom line I 100% recommend the shoe for those with narrow feet and who are looking for a tough-as-nails shoe. The Salewa Trainer 2 GTX is meant for lots of rock abrasion and finding grip on loose ground.
Love the fit an feel. I did go up a 1/2 size to an 11. THey do run a bit narrow but when you work them a bit and adjust the laces they feel awesome. I use old school wigwam wool socks and along with the shoes I get all day comfort. They are pricy but you pay for what you get.
I love these shoes. Actually after only having the black pair for 10 minutes I ordered this blue pair. I’ve had lots of Asolo shoes and hiking boots and Salomons. This is my first Selewas. Built super tough. Great fit. I would wear 11.5 sometimes in asolo and size 12 in new balance. I got 12 for these and they are perfect. Look way better in person. Great buy!
I really like these shoes. I walk 50+ miles a week in varying terrain and conditions and they are holding up nicely after a month of use. My only complaint is that seem a little narrow and hard internally at first. Once I figured out the issue I replaced the insoles and lace them a little looser they are great! I will buy another pair in wide when the time comes. On par with Asolo.
This has been my go to shoes for longer and tougher approaches. It's very sturdy, provides great support on uneven terrain carrying a heavy pack and the build quality is top. I used and abused my last pair weekly for 3 years on countless miles of rocky and loose terrain on my way to all sorts of climbing areas. Still, there's no compromising damage except for having gone through the sole as expected with any shoe - hence my new purchase.Also, they climb/scramble very well. I've done full pitches of up to 5.7 climbing. Smearing is not easy because of the stiff sole, but edging is great and the stiff protects your feet from all the sharp rocks on the trail.Only downside is it's a bit heavy when hanging on the harness - but this can be mitigated by picking a lighter version of the product family.
I bought some of the shoes years ago when they were a different design. They were amazing and practically indestructible. I loved them and bought another pair when Salewa updated the design. In less than a year the soles are my new MTN Trainers started to pull away from the rest of the shoe - I guess the glue didn't hold. I contacted Salewa support and they sent me new ones (However, it did take a while). I started having the exact same problem with the new replacement pair. I am in the process of talking to the Salewa warranty customer service, but they re very slow to communicate. Overall, I love the concept of the show, but it doesn't have the same quality the the older models had. Probably not worth the price you pay for them.
Great shoes... now that I have the right size. Ordered my normal size. Didn't fit... Ordered next size up... still didn't fit. Ended up a size and a half larger than I normally wear. Have had them on the appalachian trail several times. No issues... good grip and positive ground feel. Own a couple pairs of Salewa now. Will continue to buy them.
My second pair. First pair are two years old and were very comfortable but a tad narrow. The newest version is wider at the sole and is even more comfortable. I love that the sole isolates the foot jarring trails and provides great insulation. They look great too. My favorite hiking shoe ever!
