Choosing Women's Shoes for Hiking
Your ideal hiking shoes may differ depending on whether you’re taking day hikes or setting out on a backpacking trip. A pair of hiking sandals for women would work for easier treks and day hikes, but for full-blown, multi-day backpacking or cross-county expeditions, you need a trusty pair of women’s hiking boots.
Either way, one thing won’t change—you’ll want a good mix of shock absorption and support. Without enough shock absorption, your feet will be sore after a long day on the trail. Without adequate arch and heel support, you’ll be more prone to foot pain, injuries, and foot pain conditions such as plantar fasciitis.
