Best hiking shoes?

What%26#039;s one of the best pairs of hiking shoes you%26#039;ve had? I do quite a bit of hiking.





I love quality products and believe that they should get the attention they deserve.

Best hiking shoes?
I agree with Marc H.





I also have a pair of Merrell Chameleon Wrap Stretch Gore-Tex XCR.





They fit so well that you don%26#039;t feel like you are putting on a shoe, but wrapping your foot in some flexible armor; similar to a sock with aggressive tread that is insanely flexible and comfortable. I bought a pair to wear constantly, not just for hiking although they are very, very suitable for the most avid hiker. The Gore-Tex keeps your feet just the right temperature and lets your foot breath without sweating as to avoid blisters or your feet sweating then freezing in the winter.





Also during the winter months as people were slowing down to go on sidewalks, or crossing parking lots because of ice, I could easily keep a steady pace without fear of losing my footing.





The only negative thing about the shoes that I%26#039;ve noticed is that they will let water in pretty easily, and are low top, as some people prefer a high top hiking boot.





These shoes are also worn by the famous Bear Grylls who hosts Man V.S. Wild show, and an Ex British SAS Special Forces.

Reply:I do a lot of hiking too. Some years ago, I bought some LOWA shoes. Soft, comfortable, but not too durable. They had the best feel. Lately I have been using shoes by Salomon, very light, feel like you are wearing socks with soles.
Reply:Hey, the best hiking shoes I have currently are Merrell Chameleon Wrap Gore-Tex XCR....They are so damn comfrotable. I even climb a bit with these. I use them for everything. The tread on the bottom is great. They cost about $120. Was worth every penny. I have other Merrell shoes as well. Merrell is my favorite. Also Check out North Face...
Reply:I hike about 15-20 miles per week and I wear the Merrell Chameleon Stretch. I%26#039;ve been wearing this shoe for about 6 years - I just bought my 4th pair. They mold to your foot and I wouldn%26#039;t even consider anything else on my day hikes.

Just a great shoe with good arch support and heel padding. Comfortable, too.
