Best hiking shoes When you imagine a pair of hiking shoes, do you think of super-sized boots? "Contrary to popular belief, heavier and bulkier are not better when you’re hiking," says Jacqueline Van Dine, fitness footwear expert. "In fact, for most day hikes, what you want to look for is a lighter weight boot or shoe with support and stability for the uneven surfaces of a trail." Van Dine is a fan of Ahnu's Montara Hiking Boots, which are waterproof and have a slim, female-friendly frame.

These are helpful! I'll just have to figure out what kind of workout I do the most. Buying several pairs of workout shoes at once just isn't very practical.
Thanks for the tip! I'm always on the lookout for the next great walking shoe as I tend to burn through them quickly, and I had not heard of Orthaheel before.
