Starting your search for hiking boots?

Mellow trails to local viewpoints. Gnarly scrambles to breathtaking summits. Bucket-list backpacking trips you’ll look back on for years. Whatever your objectives, rugged hiking and backpacking boots are up to the task.

Cushioned footbeds make high-mileage days a little more comfortable. Rubber rands and toecaps fend off roots and rocks along the way. Deep lugs bite into mud and loose dirt to keep you upright if the descent gets a little spicy. In between trips, give your boots a little TLC. Cleaning your hiking boots helps them last longer (and stay waterproof).

How to choose hiking boots

With options from Asolo to Zamberlan, how do you decide which hiking boots are best for you? Start by thinking about the types of hikes you plan to do.

Multi-day backcountry trips call for higher-cut backpacking boots that offer ankle support for carrying heavy loads. Day hikes over technical terrain are a great match for durable hiking boots, whose tough construction stands up to trail hazards. For fast-and-light missions or groomed trails, you might prefer lightweight hiking shoes or even trail runners.
