Asolo Men's Hiking Boots: Deals

Are you new to hiking?

• Look for thicker soles and potentially a higher cuff for better support.

Do you need speed?

• Lightweight trail-running shoes can shave time off the trek.

Check the temperature

• Hiking shoes and trail runner are cooler in hot months; hiking boots provide more warmth.

Match the outsole with your terrain

• Technical terrain requires a beefier outsole and can call for deeper lugs.

Hiking shoe vs. hiking boot

• Hiking shoes
• Often lighter weight, lower cut, more flexible and more breathable
• Ideal for day hikes or backpacking with lighter loads
• Hiking boots
• Burlier, with stiffer uppers, over-the-ankle coverage and typically waterproof
• Ideal for multi-day treks with heavier loads

Types of hiking boots

• Day-hiking boots: Mid- to high-cut models that require less break in time; intended for day hikes or short backpacking trips with light loads
• Backpacking boots: Often over-the-ankle height and heavier-built with stiffer midsoles; designed to support multiday treks with heavier loads

Consider the lugs

• Deep, thick lugs improve grip
• Wider lug spaces sheds mud and offer good traction
