The 5 Most Fashionable and Comfortable Hiking Shoes of Summer 2023
Although we've always wanted to be the outdoorsy kinds of people, the traditional hiking shoes have always turned us away. They tend to lean more masculine and hardly look youthful, but after doing some research, we discovered how much the market has expanded.
Don't be dissuaded by the stereotypical image of the hiking boot! Below, find five shoes that are stylish and perfect for your trek through the countryside.
Dr. Scholl's Canyon Hiking Boots: $69.98
We love a minimalist shoe, so this all-grey boot from Dr. Scholl's is right up our alley. It's sleek and feminine, and it's stylish enough for you to wear even when you're not hiking.
If you don't know anything about Dr. Scholl's, the brand is raved about for its immense comfort, even creating inserts to make any shoe painless. So, if you don't want to worry about arch or back pain during your hike, you definitely won't go wrong with Dr. Scholl's.

Adidas Terrex RAIN.RDY Hiking Shoes: $80
We'll probably forever have a preference for a sneaker over a boot. There's something so chic about the sporty look of a sneaker, and we're glad Adidas is allowing us to live out our athletic dreams with their hiking sneakers.
The Terrex RAIN.RDY shoe is designed "by women, for women." It comes with a stretchy collar to keep your ankles supported and a mighty grip to take on any type of terrain. Plus, the shoe is made with sustainable materials, which is always a plus in our eyes.

Columbia Facet 75 Mid OutDry Hiking Boots: $139.99
Columbia is known for its sportswear, so any type of hiking shoe you purchase from its catalog will be top-tier.
One of our favorite silhouettes is this Facet 75 Mid OutDry Hiking Boot. As we hinted earlier, we love a great sneaker. This shoe is made with their special Techlite PLUS material for "max cushioning experience" and Adapt Trax outsole to maintain grip during wet and dry weather. If you're doing more intense hiking, we have to recommend this shoe.

You will always see him sporting a pair of HOKAs during his morning runs, which means it's probably a pretty sturdy shoe. The Anacapada shoe is engineered with lightweight materials to make your hike as simple as possible. It also has a seal of approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association for improving your foot health.
