Finding the right hiking boots
Hiking boots are designed to handle a wide variety of terrain: waymarked trails, forest paths, rocky sections or mountain routes. Depending on your needs, they provide different levels of support, traction and protection to ensure your outings are as comfortable and safe as possible.
Your choice will depend on the type of terrain, the duration of your hikes and the load you carry. To go further and identify the most suitable model for your needs, take a look at our complete guide: how to choose your hiking boots.
Glisshop tip: to enhance comfort, don’t forget to gear up with quality hiking socks, essential for reducing friction and improving breathability.
Types of boots according to hiking style
It’s worth remembering that depending on your style of hiking, the design, materials and cuff height will vary. Each model offers a specific balance of support, cushioning and abrasion resistance to guarantee lasting comfort, whether on short walks or multi-day treks.
These features play a key role in stability, grip and foot protection against uneven ground, gradients and the demands of carrying a rucksack.
Trekking and mountain hiking
Trekking and mountain hiking are more demanding than casual walking. Over several days, with a backpack and consecutive stages, your feet are subjected to repeated stress on varied terrain: rocky trails, steep slopes, wet areas or technical sections.
In this context, footwear is crucial. Boots must deliver excellent stability, effective protection and consistent comfort over time, despite fatigue and challenging ground conditions.
- stability on uneven terrain
- protection against impact and abrasion
- support suitable for carrying heavy loads
- long-lasting comfort over extended distances
Unlike models intended for day hikes or more dynamic activities, trekking boots prioritise durability and ankle support to ensure safety in mountainous environments.
Fast hiking
Fast and dynamic hiking requires lighter footwear that promotes a smooth stride, precision and responsiveness across mixed terrain.
The trail running shoe option
More flexible than traditional walking boots, trail running shoes are sometimes chosen by hikers who appreciate their lightness, even though they offer less protection. Tip: watch your toes and heels on rocks and roots.
Approach shoes
Sitting between hiking and technical climbing, these models provide excellent grip and precision on rock, mixed paths or uneven terrain.
Hiking sandals
Ideal for warm climates, they prioritise breathability and freedom of movement while being fitted with a sole suitable for walking.
Men’s, women’s and children’s hiking boots
Our range of hiking boots includes men’s, women’s and children’s models to suit every hiker’s needs in terms of fit and hiking style.
Men’s hiking boots generally feature a wider fit and a structure designed to handle heavier loads, particularly when carrying a backpack. Women’s models offer a more contoured fit around the heel and instep, improving support and long-term comfort. As for children’s hiking boots, the focus is on lightness, flexibility and easy entry to help young walkers tackle all kinds of terrain.
Whatever your profile, it’s important to choose footwear suited to your hiking frequency and terrain to achieve the right balance between support, grip and comfort.
Design, materials and technologies
Hiking boots differ in their construction and the materials used:
- Gore-Tex membrane for waterproofing and breathability
- Leather construction for strength and durability
- Waterproof hiking boots
- Low-cut for mobility and lightness
- Mid-cut offering a balance between support and range of motion
- High-cut for enhanced ankle support
- Insulated and warm models for cold conditions
- Boots for wide feet
Recovery footwear
After exertion, some models are designed to promote muscle relaxation and immediate foot comfort.
