Have doubts or hesitations? You'll find all the answers in our tutorial on how to choose the right hiking boots, which will help you identify your needs and pick the ideal pair of hiking shoes.
What are the advantages of high-cut hiking boots?
This is the most obvious benefit of this type of hiking footwear. The high-cut upper wraps around the ankle, providing extra support and reducing the risk of ankle sprains, especially on rough terrain. This stability is particularly appreciated during long hikes with a large backpack.
The high upper offers better protection for the ankle and malleolus from friction and impacts with external elements like branches, roots, and rocks. It also provides better thermal insulation, which is a real asset in the mountains at high altitude and in cold weather during winter hikes.
High-cut boots are generally all waterproof in one way or another. This waterproofing is ensured either by a Gore-Tex or proprietary membrane, or by a leather finish. In the latter case, it’s important to regularly wax your leather boots to maintain their waterproofness over time. This type of waterproof hiking boot lets you tackle any weather conditions, even the toughest ones.
Psychologically, a high-cut boot provides an increased sense of security, especially for beginner hikers. It allows you to venture onto all types of terrain, even the steepest. It's also a great choice for a first trekking boot.
Versatile models you can use with snowshoes or for mountaineering:
The combination of a high upper, waterproof membrane, and lugged sole makes high-cut hiking boots a great option for winter activities. Paired with gaiters, for example, they’re perfect for snowshoeing adventures.
Moreover, all the models sold at Glisshop can be fitted with strap-on mountaineering crampons, and some high-cut hiking boots with a rear welt can even be equipped with hybrid crampons like the G Trek from Millet or the Vakuum from Meindl.
Top choices for trekking and demanding mountain hikes
With their ultra-rugged construction and premium cushioning, high-cut hiking boots eat up the miles with ease. They also deliver unmatched comfort at the heel and arch, allowing you to carry heavy loads over rough and abrasive terrain for hours on end. These hiking boots often feature aggressive Vibram soles that grip just as well on wet ground as on dry.
A wide selection of hiking boots for men and women
At Glisshop, we offer a full range of high-cut hiking boots for men and a generous collection for women. Most models are available in two versions using different lasts. The men’s versions are better suited to male morphology, while the women’s models are designed to better fit the shape of the female foot and calf.
