Things to consider when choosing the right Hiking Shoes and Sandals:

The Style: The best way to choose between various styles of shoes is to understand what you intend to use it for and the kind of treks or hikes you have in mind. Typical shoes belong to two categories, light hiking shoes are best used for day hikes and less demanding surfaces and Mountaineering or Snow Boots are best for mountain or snow hikes where the durability of your shoes is the prime concern.

Material: The materials preferred for hiking shoes are either synthetics like nylon and polyester or leather. Synthetics are lightweight, easy to carry around but are not the most waterproof. Leather is the more durable one here made specifically to take a beating but is heavy and not very breathable in nature.

Cut of the Shoe: Cuts of hiking shoes are classified into low-cut, mid-cut and high-cut. Low cut shoes are designed for casual hiking that is lightweight and provides adequate grip. They very closely resemble running shoes. Mid-cut shoes are for more demanding trails with waterproof capabilities and better grip. They cover the ankle and provides more support. High-cut provides for the best ankle support and designed for terrain that is dangerous.

The Fit: The fit is the most important factor and a key determinant of your hiking experience. You should have enough room in the shoe to accommodate the natural swelling of your feet. The ideal fit is when the shoe fits snug and always make sure to try out before you buy.

Footwear is the most essential accessory on a hike. If its a hot weather and the duration of hike is less, choose a sandal with correct grip based on the terrain. If the duration is longer, check if you need waterproofing, cold protection, ankle support and the weight of the shoe. Quechua has segregated the hiking shoes based on terrain, which are nature, mountain and snow.

Running as an exercise needs flexibility and better grips on hiking trails. We have a specific shoe for such an exercise, which is called Fast Hiking. The fast hiking shoe, ensures better fit, grip and flexibility.
