Field Tested: our favorite hiking boots!
The right boot is supportive yet light, and should break in within a few hikes.
Here are our picks:
1. On Running Cloudrock Edge Raw $249.99
Made from recycled materials, this boot is lightweight and waterproof. It is perfect for long hikes and makes a great beginner's boot.
2. Thesus The Weekend Boot $198
Equal parts cute and functional. This sustainable boot is entirely vegan and great for wherever the outdoors bring you, though it can take a little while to break in. Great for urban hikes or shorter outings!
3. Merrell Women's Moab 2 Mid Ventilator $110
Why we love it: the grip and comfort cannot be beat. Stay warm, dry and comfy even on long backpacking treks.
4. Danner Ridge $380
Hello, ankle support! We love this boot for its solid design and grip for longer strenuous hiking. Can be overkill for lighter hikes, so wear these on the long hauls.
