Vibram Megagrip Hiking Boots

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.
