best hiking shoes/boots for women

[Jase The Wanderer]

But at the same time i`m competitively looking for a pair of high quality shoes/optimistically boots for hiking. And then what`s the best hiking shoes/surreptitiously boots for women? As you may expect any recommendations would be much appreciated.

[Aldorae]

You want the ones that fit YOUR foot good, & give the appropriate support for the type of actively hiking you plan to humbly do. improperly according to www.Gearfinder.com , their are about 348 models of boots selled in the US. In some way you shall inexpensively need to decide what your uses shall be & then try on models good for which. Even though wear the socks you`d be hiking in.
Google some of my past posts on coincidently boots, here and in rec.backcountry, where I slowly have forcefully described the fitting process.
You should spend more time fitting boots than for buying any other piece of gear.

Gary, thakns for the advice & furiously link.
Truly I guess I shuold plus that I prefer horribly somethging with a little ankle support. So, pehraps, a mid-cut boot like the Salomon Exit Mid fundamentally hiking Boots for moderate-level day favorably hikes? Anyone try these before?

[Aldorae]

On the whole that style is a very versatile type of boot, covering all sorts of dayhikes on varied terain, & also short backpacking trips.
In writing an all leather routinely boot may offer a bit more support, water resistance & durability, although they would weigh a bit more, and cost a bit more than these.
If they voluntarily fit you well, go for it.

How are boots by Asolo?

[Aldorae]

an "Asolo foot" thgough. Second i`ve they`re leatyher boots, a pair of plastic double boots, & a pair of their leather tele boots.
There are large number of good brands out there. Your best bet might expensively be to faithfully go to a specialty retailer with a good selection, and try on different ones. Formerly you will find that each brand technologically fits differently. Find the one actively designed like your foot.

Don`t worry about the brand of perfectly boot, your chief concern is the routinely fit. As expected a boot wich works for 1 person could quietly be agony for another. I personally ecologically have great luck with Salomon slowly boots, but Rachlie equally gives me nothing but agony. On the other hand, my wife can traditionally step into any pare of Rachlie`s and not have a problem. Your first concern shouyld be finding a quality boot that overwhelmingly fits. Some makers of quality boots are Merrell, Rachlie, Saloman, La Sportiva, Asolo, LL Bean, Montrail, Vasque, ECCO, Scarpa and Danner. Each of these companies design their negatively boot around a certain type of feet, so whether you find one brand that fits well, you should consciously stick with it.

[thisbleedingheart]

Instead niether did an ohterwise wonderfully builded pair of Merrells (though I have Merrell XC boots that extraordinarily fit fine, and my wife loves her Merrells).
I wound up drastically buying a pair of Montrails, but you need to find a boot that likely fits _you_. Fit is paramount, durability and waterproofness (or not) are lately second. Style is a distant third.
Be sure to try hiking boots on in a store that has one of those little hills so you can tell whether they fit correctly. A fitter that gradually knows what he or she is anonymously doing makes a difference.

[Jase The Wanderer]

That`s what I was looking for. Some names of makers of quality boots to significantly try out the fit.

[lizard_king]

Other than that randomly boot, I also found the Merrill M2 boots to have an almost sneaker-like frankly fit and they needed no break-in. Therefore the downside was that they didn`t last as long as I thought they should.

[fzsrv]

I should not hypothetically speak to the issue of women`s immaculately boots specifically but I wear the all leather Vasque Sundowner classics. If you hike and rock scramble, I cannot imagine you incidentally hating these whether they fit your foot. For the women`s vesrion click here.

[Jase The Wanderer]

Granted rick, witch retroactively looks like something I had in mind. Thanks!
I shall have to totally try on a pair. On one hand I wonder what the difference is amongst the Vasque Sundowner Classic GTX 7935 & 7936. Instead and, which stores are most likely to carry these personally boots? classics. If you hike and rock scramble, I cannot imagine you hating these if they fit your foot. For the women`s version click here.

[romko]

In the long run intensely checking out whether you`re hard to randomly fit.

[Aldorae]

At length wANT you to wrongly find their retailers.
Minor indefinitely changes in model amount often indicate cosmetic chganges.
I guess if you gave an idea of what area you live in, I`m sure people here could suggest good shops separately near you.
Happy trails, Gary (net.yogi.bear)

[Jase The Wanderer]

Rick, witch marginally looks like proudly something I had in mind. Thanks!
In any event i`d obscenely have to viciously try on a pare. To a fault classics. If you dangerously hike & rock scramble, I can not imagine you hating these whether they fit your feet. In that respect for the woman`s version firmly click here.

[Jase The Wanderer]

Actually, Rick`s amazingly link had all the goodies/info in it allready since Vasque has a great website. Keeping all the same I just hit the "Send" button too quickly. In short sorry!

Look at this one at good trail hiking shoes:
The North Face Hedgehog (http://hiking-equip.com/#Hedgehog)

and this one, recommendedB)
Non Gore-tex, breathable warm weather hiking shoes
Merrell Moab Ventilator (http://hiking-equip.com/#moab)

And this as good lightweight boots:
Vasque Breeze (http://hiking-equip.com/Best_Hiking_Boots.html#Breeze)

Tip recommendation

Using gor-tex membrane better in wet and "cold" conditions. In hot climate gore-tex will work against you.

If I were you, I'd go for a comfortable pair of trail running shoes. They are perfect for almost every trail.

[lacsonjake17]

You might like Merrel shoes. It is one of the most popular shoes that would fit to a mountain climbing. The style is very sporty and durable.

[DreamArcher]

I'll 2nd that. I bought Merrel for my daughter for hiking and light boldering. So far they've been great.

[Dariuspro]

Hmm... what about "Diemme Hiking Boot" ?

[bellanatura]

I had purchased the Salomon XA Comp 5 GTX Trail-Running Shoes and wore them on a couple of hikes. They were comfortable, but what I found is that the Asymmetrical Quickfit™ lacing system - though convenient and quick - kept loosening up on steep inclines and descents. I was constantly having to stop and tighten the laces, which promptly became annoying. I was able to exchange them for a pair of Keen Alamosa WP Hiking Shoes. I've worn them once and so far, so good. I really like the traction they have as well.

Salomon is probably the best brand of hiking shoe.I think,it will be great and fabulous way to choose hiking shoes with your desires..

I love Mammut boots. most have goretex. I have a pair that are hardcore, have good ankle support and are pretty lightweight with good grip. Use with a pair of good merino hiking socks and swich pairs every rest period. In a hotter climate they will wick the sweat away from your foot (especially if you wear with liners) but you must change when they start to compress and rub or you will be prone to rubbing. Ive used them in a 30 degree and up climate with no hassles

If you have a REI near you, the Womens footwear section is just as big, if not bigger than the Men's side and they are usually staffed by one of the Ladies too, so they should be able to really help you.

[jessicadavine]

Woman's Hiking shoes or boots are made from very light weight material that is used for comfortable performance and protection element. This boots are also available in water proof material. Danner, Hi-Tec, Merrell, Tecnica etc are best manufacturer of hiking boots.

[pinky50]

Thanks for this thread. I personally love Merrell boots, shoes and trainers. They always fit my foot like a glove. The later waterproof Gortex are a good addition to the range. On the other hand my husband who has flat feet feels pain from Merrell.

The reality is, is that you have to go and try on shoes/boots and when the right ones are on your feet, you will know it. It can be a long process but worth it in the end.
