Comfortable sandals or shoes, which is better for walking?
Of course, a walking sandal will never protect your foot as well as a sturdy trekking boot. Thus, while it may show its performance limits in certain contexts, in others it will be very comfortable. Several factors should be considered when evaluating the relevance of investing in hiking sandals. To learn everything about hiking sandals, check our buying guide for walking sandals.
Activity and terrain
As mentioned earlier in this guide, it is logical that sandals will not protect your foot as effectively as hiking boots. Regardless of their design (open or closed), using walking sandals on technical, rocky, and mountainous terrain is never a very wise choice. However, in forests, plains, or on hilly and less rugged terrain, they will offer you multiple advantages. They will also be very pleasant at the end of your long walking days, allowing your feet to rest and breathe.
Weather conditions
When the heat is on, a sandal is a lightweight shoe that will limit and quickly wick away sweat. When you need to cross streams, their design ensures rapid drying. However, you must ensure to protect your feet with sunscreen, and in certain specific circumstances, with insect repellent. Aesthetically speaking, while the debate is justified, wearing socks inside your sandals can be effective to counter these little inconveniences that can quickly turn your outing into a nightmare.
Men, women, and children: sandals for the whole family
Open sandals
Walking sandals are considered open when they are not reinforced at the front and top of the foot, as well as at the heel. While their soles will provide optimal comfort during your less sporty strolls in the city or while travelling, they are not suitable for intensive and more sporty use. These lightweight shoes are also very breathable and prevent excessive sweating.
Closed sandals
Closed walking sandals resemble a trail shoe more closely. Unlike open sandals, they offer reinforcements at the toes and heel, making them suitable for more intensive use. Very airy, they provide much more lightness than a traditional hiking boot, but soles equipped with lugs like those on the Merrell Speed Strick will ensure unbeatable grip. Thanks to the stone guard at the front of the foot, closed sandals will be reliable hiking sandals, ideal for tackling more technical terrains with confidence while maintaining excellent breathability.
Merrell, Keen, Columbia, Lizard... The best brands for hiking
Women's hiking sandals or men's hiking sandals are therefore a very good compromise for hikers seeking a lightweight and breathable shoe without compromising comfort and grip on less technical terrains. Whether open or closed, at Glisshop, discover our wide range of walking sandals from the biggest brands in the sector.
