Hiking shoes for men: What is important when choosing?

The best men's hiking shoes are no good if the wearing comfort leaves much to be desired or the fit is unsuitable for men's feet.Nevertheless, the look is now playing an increasingly important role in men's hiking boots as well.While most models used to be in practical brown, black or grey, there are now more and more colourful options in the hiking boot ranges.However, the most important thing for you is how well your shoe fits.When choosing the right men's hiking boot, the following considerations will help you:

WHERE do you go hiking for HOW LONG in WHAT WEATHER?

The most important criterion when buying men's hiking boots is the intended use.That's why hiking boot manufacturer Meindl has defined six hiking boot categories for a wide range of requirements; from light hiking shoes to heavy expedition boots.You will find this categorisation in the product descriptions of many online shops for hiking shoes, including hiking shoes.net.Basically, it can be assumed that most hikers and outdoor sports enthusiasts are well served by the first three categories (A, A/B and B).Finally, the hiking boots in the remaining categories are suitable for the demands of the high mountains and difficult via ferratas and are considered mountain boots.

So with mid-height walking shoes or our hiking shoes for men, you are perfectly equipped for the family outing at the weekend.Since they are also city-suitable and look good, they are almost part of the normal everyday outfit in the men's world.

Do you have a wide foot or do you have hallux valgus?

Many hiking shoes for men are also available with a wider last, so that the forefoot has significantly more space overall.This is often referred to as Comfort Fit.Popular manufacturers who offer hiking shoes in extra width are Hanwag or Meindl.

What about body weight?

Above a certain weight, the shoe must also have other properties - for example, extra cushioning at the heel and ball of the foot, so that the shoe is comfortable and provides optimal support for the joints.Especially in such a case, it is advisable to fall back on well-known, high-quality hiking shoe brands and rather avoid cheap outdoor shoes for men.

What else should you look out for when buying men's hiking boots?

In addition to the intended use, the technical features of the men's hiking boots also play a role.Is the shoe waterproof or at least water-repellent? What are the sole and upper material like? Basically, you can't go wrong with a hiking boot with GORE-TEX lining.You can recognise the waterproof models by the GTX suffix.

Men's hiking boots: Waterproof - Yes or No?

The foot climate is another important feel-good factor.For example, the inner lining should be breathable and not allow liquid to penetrate.However, if men's hiking boots are waterproof, they are not always breathable.In any case, it is advisable to take a closer look and seek advice if in doubt.In our hiking shoe shop, this is possible via a free advice hotline.If in doubt, opt for weatherproof shoes, because a dry foot is a major factor in well-being, especially on longer hiking tours.In order to optimally protect the transition between trekking boots and trekking trousers from wetness, the use of rain and hiking gaiters is recommended.

Outdoor shoes for men: sole & tread

A large part of the quality of hiking shoes for men is based on the sole chosen.After all, the insole and the profile of the outer sole form the foundation of the shoe, so to speak, and stand for stability, longevity and durability.For example, high-quality hiking boots usually have an insole made of tanned leather, which absorbs perspiration and ensures breathability.The outsole is usually made of rubber or Vibram, whereby the advantages of a Vibram sole are obvious.After all, the water- and winter-resistant sole was developed together with the tyre manufacturer Pirelli and is considered a real novelty.The sole has a self-cleaning tread that transports mud and dirt out of the tread simply by walking.

Hiking boots men: Which size?

Shoes and boots for hiking must fit firmly on the foot without constricting.To avoid bumping your toes on the toe cap of the shoe while trekking, it is recommended to buy the hiking shoe for men a half to a whole size larger.So even with winter hiking boots there is enough room for thick socks.Since men's outdoor shoes are usually lace-up shoes with many lugs and eyelets, you can also influence the fit through the lacing.

The starting point for determining the correct shoe size is always the foot length in millimetres.The shoe fits optimally when there is a 15 mm buffer in addition to the actual size.By the way, this also applies to women's hiking boots.For children, however, the running shoe should only be 12 mm longer than the actual size.For better orientation, numerous size charts are available on the internet, for example from shoe manufacturers such as adidas or LOWA.These usually include UK and US sizes in addition to EU sizes.
