How to Choose the Best Trekking Shoes for Men?

Choosing the right pair of hiking shoes/trekking shoes can be a daunting task especially if you don’t know what exactly you are looking for with a lot of options available in the market. This is why it is crucial to know more about hike & trek shoes. Here is a comprehensive list of things to keep in mind while buying your shoes for hikes and treks:

Terrain check: It is important to know the terrain in which you want to hike or trek. Because rugged terrain requirements will be different from flat trails or forests, so make your purchase accordingly.  

Duration check: Always think about how many days you are going to be in those hiking and trekking shoes. For example, a 2-5km trek/hike will require only a shoe with proper heel cushioning but anything more than that will require full cushioning and additional features like ankle support specification 

Support check: Depending on the type of trek and hike and the strength of your ankle you have to choose shoes with either low-cut, mid-cut, or high-cut designs. High-cut shoes provide the most ankle support and are ideal for rugged terrain, while low-cut shoes offer more flexibility and breathability.

Traction check: Look for trekking shoes with deep lugs and a grippy outsole to provide traction on various surfaces, including wet or slippery terrain. Vibram soles are known for their excellent traction and durability.

Waterproofing check: It is extremely important in monsoon treks and hikes to snowy mountains, etc. Look for waterproof membranes, water-repellent materials, sealed seams, etc. to keep your feet dry and safe from wet conditions.
