Walking boots
There is a perfect hiking shoe for every pair of feet and every kind of surface. And trust us: nothing is more important than a pair of shoes that fits like a glove and gives you sufficient grip and support, whenever you're out hiking. Those who take a tour of the local nature reserve several times a week need very different footwear than those who seek out mountainous and rocky terrain a few times a year. Fortunately, our team consists of plenty of keen hikers who can advise you on one of the most important purchases of your outdoor adventure life.
What do I need to pay attention to when buying hiking shoes?
Before double-knotting the laces of a new pair of hiking shoes, it is important to consider a few things. Here are the main ones:
- Terrain/activity: a simple walk through the woods or along the beach is very different from a trek through hilly terrain or rough mountaineering. Each type of activity or terrain really requires a different pair of hiking shoes. In the first case, you want a lightweight pair that doesn’t overly tire your feet. For the other two treks, you need much more grip and stability, often in the form of a stiffer sole and more ankle protection.
- Features: your personal preferences also matter. You can choose breathable and waterproof shoes, a low model, or a higher pair. As for the material, you have a choice between synthetic, leather, canvas, or cotton. And you also need to think about the weight of your new pair quite carefully.
- Fit: no two feet are the same. Fortunately, there are hiking shoes for every pair of feet, with a narrower or wider width, for example. In any case, take ample time to try on shoes. Because an ill-fitting shoe is a great recipe for blisters and irritation. Tip: take advantage of our free 3D foot measurement and analysis!
