Hiking boots and shoes for women

Shoes and Boots Designed for Women

When hiking, everything starts with high-performing women’s hiking footwear. Comfort, protection and grip: these models, specifically designed for the female foot shape, provide perfect support and total confidence on any terrain. Whether for a short walk or a multi-day expedition, find the pair that will make every step a pleasure.

Women’s walking boots are designed to suit the female foot shape: a narrower fit, refined heel and midfoot, lower instep, increased flexibility, and cushioning adapted to a generally lighter body weight. They start in smaller sizes and sometimes come in specific colours. Depending on foot shape, some female or male hikers may, however, prefer a model designed for the opposite sex for an optimal fit.

Perfect for day hikes as well as multi-day treks, these mountain boots are well suited to mixed terrain. Lighter than high-cut hiking boots, they still wrap around the ankle to protect it from stones and debris.

Gore-Tex and Other Waterproof, Breathable Membranes

The Gore-Tex waterproof membrane, still the most effective in the world at keeping out moisture, ensures you keep your feet dry in all conditions.

In any case, choosing waterproof women’s hiking boots guarantees the best possible protection for walking in all weather.
