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

By prioritizing the factors discussed in this guide, you can choose a pair that perfectly matches your hiking style, terrain, and weather conditions.

User Reviews
This is my third pair of similar styles boots. The sizing has been spot on with every pair. They all have quickly broken in and I’m expecting this third pair to give great support and comfort as the first two.I’m in the woods a lot and everyone is looking for a comfort and support, which they have, it’s the grip I get that is probably my favorite.The confidence in the grip while climbing over downed trees, roots and rocks whether wet or dry is fantastic.
Fantastic boot. Let me save you the trouble. PERFECTION
Great fit and style
I'm a homeowner wannabe arborist and use these for my tree climbing escapades. They are a little stiff, but that actually helps with spur comfort. Without spurs, they're very good also, except for the occasional slip when limb walking in a smooth bark tree. I might actually even use them for hiking some time too.
These shoes accommodate my orthotics and have a uniquely stiff sole that protects my arthritic big toes from bending. They are very comfortable as well. Unfortunately, Salewa's second version of the Mountain Trainer is a tighter version of the original and does not work for me, so I was glad to find the original Mountain Trainer. Be careful to get the US and not British size, because the US size is a size larger than the British size.
These boots are fantastic, however, you will need new inserts to achieve maximum comfort. Stock inserts are okay.
Best price around on these boots. Absolutely love them, great fit right out of the box, quick shipping.
Love this boot so much. It should be a little cheaper though IMO
