Choosing the right hiking boots
Tackle bucket-list national park hikes or local trails with ease in rugged boots from Salomon, La Sportiva, Oboz and more. The right pair can make all the difference, helping you stay comfortable, supported and confident on the trail.
Hiking boots are designed to handle the unpredictable nature of the outdoors. Grippy soles keep you steady on slick mud and loose gravel, rubber toe caps protect against rocks and roots, and GORE-TEX® waterproofing keeps you dry through puddles and stream crossings. But with so many styles and features available, how do you know which boots are best for you?
The key is to think about the kind of hiking you plan to do. Are you heading out for short day hikes or multi-day backcountry trips? Sticking to well-travelled trails or venturing into rugged, off-trail terrain? What kind of weather and trail conditions will you encounter? Answering these questions will help narrow down your options.
Features
If you’re covering rough terrain or carrying a heavy pack, boots with high-cut ankle support can help prevent sprains and provide stability. For gentler trails or lighter loads, hiking shoes or even trail runners may be a good alternative, offering more flexibility while still giving you traction.
Slick trails and unexpected rainstorms are part of the hiking experience. Look for boots with durable, grippy outsoles to keep your footing secure, especially in wet or rocky conditions. Waterproof or water-resistant options help keep your feet dry, but if you mostly hike in hot, dry weather, a more breathable pair might be a better fit.
High-quality materials make for long-lasting boots, but there’s often a trade-off between weight and durability. Lighter boots are great for fast-moving adventures but may not provide as much support or last as long as burlier models.
Finding the right fit
Comfort is key. Your boots should have enough room for your toes to wiggle but not so much space that your feet slide around inside. Trying them on with hiking socks will give you a better idea of how they’ll feel on the trail.
At the end of a long hike, swapping boots for cozy slippers or insulated booties is a treat. Between trips, take care of your boots by cleaning off dirt and conditioning full-grain leather to keep them waterproof and in top shape for your next adventure.
