They say the best kind of exercise is the kind you enjoy. Beyond the obvious cardio workout, time spent outdoors can be a huge mood booster and stress reliever, so lacing up your hiking shoes and hitting the trails has the power to turn your whole day around.
When it comes to hiking, having the right footwear can make all the difference. Let’s explore some of our best trail hiking shoes, including our latest addition, the Cascadia 18, designed to provide comfort, support, and durability for all your outdoor adventures.
Not all trail hiking footwear is created equal, so it’s important to have an open mind and be willing to try out a few different options before deciding on the right pair for you. All of our hiking shoes for men and women are designed to stand up to the unpredictable terrain you might come across on a hike. Here are our best trail hiking shoes.
Best for: Trail hiking in wet and dry conditions
Our popular Cascadia line just got an upgrade. The brand-new Cascadia 18 for men and women is designed to adapt to anything you encounter on the trail, making them an important addition to your collection of hiking gear. Like previous iterations, the Cascadia 18 puts comfort and stability first, building on those features to give you the confidence you need every step of the way.
The Cascadia 18 offers:
Best for: Walking, long-distance trail running and races
It’s no secret that the Caldera 7 for men and women is up for the challenge of unpredictable terrain. Considered one of our best trail running shoes, the Caldera 7 is designed with sustained comfort in mind for trail hiking as well. The plush nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning offers lightweight comfort, and the resistant, breathable TPEE air mesh upper provides an adaptable fit. Whether you’re headed out for a trail run or a trail hike, the Caldera 7 delivers a smooth stable ride over technical terrain.
Best for: Speed on off-road paths
The unisex Catamount Agil is perfect for switching between trail running and trail hiking. Built for speed and responsiveness, the SpeedVault Trail Plate and nitrogen-infused DNA FLASH v2 propel you to new heights while helping you maintain your footing on uneven terrain. The lightweight mesh upper contours to your foot for a second skin feel that can be adjusted to your preferences. If you’re looking for outdoor hiking footwear for men or women with running shoe capabilities, the Catamount Agil is the perfect choice.
Best for: Adaptability for all types of terrain, including trails
For maximum versatility, the Divide 4 for men and women delivers. Whether you’re walking around your home, on the sidewalk, or hitting the trail, these shoes have you covered. The DNA LOFT cushioning keeps you comfortable regardless of the terrain and the road-shoe-inspired fit features both mesh for breathability and a mudguard for added protection. Finally, the TrailTrack Rubber outsole technology offers traction on both wet and dry surfaces, so you’re fully equipped no matter where your walk takes you.
