    Get trail ready with hiking shoes

    Hiking shoes are there to give you comfort and stability on your hike so you can focus on breathtaking scenery and making memories.

    Before choosing a hiking shoe, think about the terrain you hike on, how heavy your hiking pack is and how many hours you hike for.

    A light shoe for a fast hiker – trail runners make for fast and grippy feet on obstacle-ridden trails, and are also great for the hiker who likes to move fast and carry a light pack on day trips.

    Hiking shoes for day-hiking take you from daily walks on close-to-home trails, all the way to high elevation trekking in a rocky national park. Some styles have a very low ankle (low-hiker), while others have a higher ankle (mid-hiker). If you’re hiking for a couple of days with a heavy pack, you’ll need more support from your hiking shoe, like a pair of hiking shoes for backpacking.

    If there's a chance of rain, or some trekking through light streams, waterproof hiking shoes will keep you dry. Taking out an old pair of boots to see new sights? Invest in cleaners and waterproofers to keep them shedding water for years to come.

    Check out our article to learn how to choose hiking boots or shoes, and pick the best pair for your unique adventure. Pair your new hiking shoes with a comfy set of hiking socks to seal the deal.
