Sizing Notes

For boots: Add one half size to your street shoe size. You should be able to slip one finger behind your heel when you are standing up with the boot unlaced and your toes touching the front. If the boot is too short, your toes will get smashed walking downhill. Too long and your heel will slide up and down and give you blisters.

Buying Advice

How to Choose Hiking Boots

How long will you be on the trail?

  • Hiking shoes: day hikes or ultralight backpacking
  • Hiking boots: multi-day treks with heavier loads

What upper is right for you?

  • Leather: water- and abrasion-resistant, durable
  • Synthetic: lightweight, break in easily, dry faster

Look at the lugs

  • Deep, thick lugs improve grip
  • Wider lug spaces sheds mud and offer good traction


Check crampon compatibility
Mountaineering and winter hiking may call for crampons. Narrow your search for boots with crampon compatibility.
