Frequently Asked Questions
Are women's low-top shoes suitable for hiking?
Yes, for fast-paced walks and day hikes on well-trodden trails. It favours lightness and freedom of movement; for rugged mountain terrain or a loaded trek, a high-cut boot protects the ankle better.
What's the difference between women's and men's shoes?
The women's version adapts the fit to a foot shape that's often narrower, with sleeker, more profiled support. What matters most is trying them on: choose the boot that hugs your foot best to avoid rubbing and discomfort.
Do you need a waterproof low-top walking shoe?
In wet weather or on waterlogged ground, a waterproof membrane keeps your feet dry. For summer and dry terrain, a breathable non-membrane version dries faster and stays really comfortable.
How to choose your shoe size?
Go for your true size with a little room at the toe for descents, and try your boots on at the end of the day wearing your hiking socks. A snugly held heel with freedom to wiggle your toes helps you avoid blisters and discomfort.
