Celebrate Take a Hike Day With The Best Hiking and Trail Shoes from Hibbett | City Gear

Nov 16, 2021

Few things are as exquisite as a canopy of trees bursting with oranges, golds and reds set beneath a cerulean sky. National Take a Hike Day provides the perfect opportunity to lace up those hiking boots or trail shoes and take in the scenery while inhaling the pristine air, listening to the pleasant chirp of birds and feeling that satisfying crunch of leaves beneath your feet. Mark your calendars for National Take A Hike Day (Nov. 17) to explore some of your favorite trails or forge new paths with the fam with these must-have men’s, women’s and kids’ hiking and trail shoes.

Trailblazers

Whether you’re going on a camping trip or a leisurely hike on relatively flat terrain, you’ll want to choose lightweight hiking boots that can take on root- and rock-laden trails with ease. Low top and mid-cut styles from The North Face, Salomon and Timberland offer grooved outsoles for the right balance of traction, while durable yet breathable uppers hug the foot in all the right places.

Climb Every Mountain

You don’t have to summit Everest or reach the peak of some far-flung mountain to enjoy views from the top of a rocky outcropping. Look for higher cut, rugged mountain hiking shoes that stabilize the ankle and keep feet toasty as you reach new altitudes. Trekking through the snow? Be sure to select insulated hiking boots with a waterproof rating from brands like The North Face and Salomon. Consider accessories like spikes, snowshoes or crampons to enhance traction on particularly slippery surfaces.

Trotting Down the Trail

Before the decadent holiday feasts, beat your personal record with a Turkey Trot or 5K through the woods. Look for a lighter-weight trail shoe rated for running on packed dirt, gravel or loose-leafed surfaces. Trail shoe options from adidasNike and New Balance provide impact resistance with lugged soles that give you ground-gripping traction as you run — or trot — through your local nature preserve. 

National Take a Hike Day is a great way for the whole family to get outdoors and meander along flat trails or brave rougher, more mountainous terrain. Find the best hiking boot and trail shoe selections for men, women and kids of all ages and sizes online or in-stores at Hibbett | City Gear.
