Men's Hiking Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between trail shoes and hiking shoes?

Trail running shoes are designed for running on trails, offering lightweight construction, flexibility and aggressive tread patterns for traction on uneven terrain. They prioritise speed and agility. Hiking shoes, on the other hand, are built for the gait of hiking and prioritise stability — they have sturdier construction, ankle support and durable materials to withstand rugged trails and carry heavier loads. While both kinds of shoes offer traction and durability, men's hiker shoes offer greater support and protection over longer distances and rougher terrain at a slower pace.

Is it OK to wear running shoes for hiking?

It's generally not recommended for rugged terrain or longer hikes. Running shoes lack the ankle support, traction and durability needed for navigating uneven trails and carrying heavier loads. While they may be fine for light hiking on well-maintained trails, they can increase the risk of slips, trips and injuries on more challenging terrain. For hiking, it's advisable to wear hiking shoes or boots designed specifically for outdoor trekking. They provide better ankle support, stability and protection against rocks, roots and other obstacles encountered on the trail.

Should I wear hiking shoes for walking?

Wearing hiking shoes for walking is suitable, especially for longer walks or uneven terrain. Hiking shoes offer support, traction and durability, making them ideal for various walking conditions, including trails, gravel paths and hills. They provide stability and protection for your feet and ankles. However, for short walks on flat surfaces, casual shoes or sneakers may suffice. Ultimately, choose footwear based on the duration, intensity and terrain of your walking activity, opting for hiking shoes when extra support and durability are needed.
