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
I haven't had these very long, but the initial review of these shoes indicate that they are what you would expect from this shoe maker. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I find the color scheme pleasant and they styling to be modern and and appealing. As for the comfort of the shoe, these feel great on my feet being lightweight and supportive. These are soon to be my daily walkabout shoes since I take my dogs walking 3 times a day. I have every confidence in these shoes so far. I wish I could have sound these with the gore-tex, but I knew these are not waterproof before buying. I was able to get these at a bargain price new so I have zero regrets or complaints. Buy them, your feet will thank you for it.
Design is pleasing to the eyes, they are Comfortable and light
Good fit, comfortable and great value. Only issue is the light grey color and material make it easy to stain/hard to stay clean.
I hike a lot, and I really like the new design and light weight ofthese shoes. They breathe way better, and dry out faster as well.They are not water proof, but they repel light moisture fairly well,and, and they seem to be stain resistant. The traction is great, supersticky, and very good padding. I would say the material is so lax orlight, that the shoes sag a little before you put them on. Then it shapesitself around your foot, and looks very good. The toe and heel areasare well protected. I have no idea how well they last, but based on myprevious experience with Salomon’s, I expect them to wear well. Theinsoles are excellent too. So far, it’s all great…
I am walking the Camino De Santiago in Spain in May (2024). I bought these shoes hoping they would be the fit I need. They are not and I won't be taking them. I have done two all day hikes in these shoes and no bueno. The cut is too sloppy at the top of the shoe which gives them a bit of an unstable feel to me. The soles offers support but, little cushion. The traction is good on the soles. Overall they are not all day on the trail comfortable. In fact, I have cheaper hiking shoes that do a much better job. Salomon apparently offers a trail runner/hiking shoe that does offer the cushion I'm looking for so...
I got these because I walk on uneven surfaces all day. Regular shoes were allowing my ankles to twist. I didn’t want typical construction shoes as I’m not required to wear those. These are super solid and lock my ankle in on all surfaces. On top of that they have held up well in all weather. They feel great on my feet as well.
Had to return. Was really hoping my son would like it, but it as too narrow.
Took forever for Amazon to finally get these for me, but they were on special and I think there was a flood of orders. I love Salomon shoes and these are no exception. Super comfortable and lightwieght right out of the box!
