Men's Hiking Boots FAQ's
What is the best hiking boot for men?
Merrell is prized for its wide variety of premium footwear designed for exploring the great outdoors. From their Moab series to the Speed Strike, the Speed Arc Matis to the Maipo Explorer, you are sure to find a hiking boot best suited for the trails you love!
What is the difference between hiking boots and trail running shoes?
Hiking boots often comprise specific design features best suited to support your feet on rough, technical terrain. When hiking, your feet require superior ankle support, protection against sharp rocks, and enough traction to help you climb the terrain with ease. Trail running shoes, on the other hand, require slightly different properties, such as flexibility, lightweight design, and fast-drying materials.
What shoes are not recommended for hiking?
Footwear that does not specifically mention hiking suitability is risky to wear on the trails. Hiking places unique demands on your feet and ankles, and your footwear needs to support your movements while protecting your feet against obstructions. Dress shoes, sandals, sneakers, and other fashion shoes should not be worn on hiking trails.
Will wearing the right hiking boot prevent injury?
While injuries can occur for all sorts of reasons, wearing the right hiking boot can significantly reduce the risk of injury related to poor support, inadequate grip, or improper fit.
How should a hiking boot fit?
First and foremost, always ensure that there is ample toe room in your hiking boots. Many often don’t realise that their hiking boot size might differ from their daily wear footwear, as you need to take into account the thickness of your socks, and the movement of your feet during the activity. Your heel should remain locked in place as unnecessary movement leads to blisters.
