They should be sturdy enough to last you several years, and provide you with adequate support when carrying a heavy load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sole of hiking boots is also a large component that separate them from regular shoes, as it tends to be much stiffer to keep you comfortable on uneven and treacherous surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, a good pair of hiking boots should be waterproof (or at the very least water-resistant), something that normal walking shoes are not. This way you can wear them rain or shine, stomp through mud and puddles, all the while keeping your toes nice and dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiking boots are simply a must if you&#8217;re a trail lover.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/best-hiking-boots-men.jpg\" alt=\"men's hiking boots\" class=\"wp-image-22747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/best-hiking-boots-men.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/best-hiking-boots-men-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/best-hiking-boots-men-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/best-hiking-boots-men-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/best-hiking-boots-men-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2>Types of Hiking Boots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main categories of hiking boots: <strong>lightweight<\/strong>, <strong>midweight<\/strong> and <strong>heavyweight<\/strong>. Each category has its pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To figure out which type is best is you, you&#8217;ll have to first decide what you&#8217;ll mainly be using your boots for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick guide on the differences between the three different types of hiking boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Lightweight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lightweight hiking boots are best for travelers who are looking to hit the trails while on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite their weight, most lightweight hiking boots are just as durable as those in the other categories, offering the same amount of protection from the elements and unfavorable conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lightweight hiking boots typically weigh less than 3 pounds per pair, making them practical to take along on all of your adventures. They&#8217;re generally made of softer material like synthetics or nylon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One downside is that they may not offer as much support as a pair of heavier boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, lightweight boots are great for day treks and backcountry exploring all around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Midweight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Midweight boots are slightly heavier than lightweight boots, weighing between 2 and 4 pounds a pair. A step up from the lightweight category, midweight boots offer increased support and protection without weighing you down too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Midweight boots are best for serious hikes and general backpacking, allowing you to carry a decent-sized load without putting too much stress on your feet and ankles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good boots in this category should offer more ankle stability than lighter models, making them ideal for rugged terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Heavyweight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final category of boots are the heavyweight ones, which tend to be made of full leather and are made for serious backpackers with heavy loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heavyweight boots are built to last a lifetime and survive in the toughest of conditions. Rain or shine, up or downhill, these boots will be there for you through it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heavyweight boots are best for heavy loads and rocky trails, as well as hiking in wet or snowy conditions. Because of the thick and durable material, these boots tend to have better insulation, keeping your feet comfortable in the coldest of climates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be warned though, it&#8217;s imperative to properly break in heavyweight boots before taking to the trail. Once they are broken in, you&#8217;ll have a pair of boots to last you for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What to Look for in a Good Pair of Hiking Boots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few key qualities you should consider when picking out a pair of hiking boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown of seven main features that are important to keep in mind when choosing boots for your next adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Waterproof<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A main consideration to think about when choosing a pair of hiking boots is if they&#8217;re waterproof or not. While the vast majority of hiking boots are waterproof, you&#8217;ll occasionally run into a pair that isn&#8217;t, or is simply water-resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waterproof boots are important if you plan on hiking in different seasons, climates and weather conditions. The last thing you want is to step in a puddle or get caught in a downpour and be stuck with soggy feet for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many materials that make hiking boots waterproof, but the main one you&#8217;ll run into is GORE-TEX (GTX). GORE-TEX is an insulator that&#8217;s meant to keep water from entering the inside of the boot, and thus keeps your foot dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An alternative to GORE-TEX is a boot that has undergone some sort of chemical waterproof treatment which wicks water off the boot instead of absorbing it. You can also buy this treatment and waterproof boots yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img width=\"3872\" height=\"2592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/backpacking-1167751.jpg\" alt=\"jon to the world lead\" class=\"wp-image-15969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/backpacking-1167751.jpg 3872w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/backpacking-1167751-400x268.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/backpacking-1167751-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/backpacking-1167751-960x643.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/backpacking-1167751-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3872px) 100vw, 3872px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Breathability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The downside to having a waterproof boot is it impacts breathability, another important factor to take into account when choosing a pair of boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While waterproof boots keep water from entering the shoe, it also traps moisture inside, which isn&#8217;t ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a boot with maximum breathability (best for hot conditions), you should opt for boots made of synthetic materials which are much lighter and airier than the leather alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Sole<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important factor of a hiking boot is a stiff sole. A stiff sole offers much more support than a flimsy one, and also creates a barrier between your foot and the rough conditions under it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of sole support comes from a piece called the shank which is found between the midsole and the outsole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s best to find boots with shanks that stretch the entire length of the midsole rather than just half. This creates maximum stiffness and thus maximum sole support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Ankle Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a heavy duty hiker and tend to stray off the beaten path, it&#8217;s extra important that your boots have good ankle support. When wearing shoes with little ankle support, one wrong step and you&#8217;re out of commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good ankle support generally comes from boots that are mid or high cut, with the boot stretching up and wrapping around your ankle to keep it in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Lacing System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A dependable and secure lacing system is often overlooked as an important feature in hiking boots, but it makes all the difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want laces that wrap up around your ankle to keep it in place, with sturdy and frequent hooks. The best lacing systems will stay tight all day without coming loose. Constant readjustment and laces coming loose can lead to hot spots and blisters, not to mention an annoying day of tying and retying on the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Traction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main component that goes into traction is the lug pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lug pattern is made up of the grooves and bumps found on the bottom of the book. The deeper and thicker the lugs are, the better your grip on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For maximum traction, look for a pair of hiking boots that have a heel brake. This is a section on the back of the sole direction under your heel. It also features lugs, but these bumps are made especially so that you don&#8217;t slip while going downhill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Durability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably the most important factor when choosing a pair of hiking boots is how long they&#8217;ll last. Because boots are rather expensive, they&#8217;re an investment that should last you for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most durable hiking boots are made from full-grain leather, which is resistant to abrasions as well as water. Nubuck leather boots are also highly durable and tend to be more flexible than full-grain leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also look for boots with a harder outsole, which will last you longer than one that is softer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If durability is your main concern, stay away from boots made form synthetic materials, as these are more prone to wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Best Men&#8217;s Hiking Boots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So what do you think? Which of the above men&#8217;s hiking boots tick all the right boxes for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many options for hiking boots and so many different reasons to use them for, hopefully this list will help you figure out what you want so you find the perfect hiking boots you&#8217;ve been looking for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Additional content contributed by Jane Elmets<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Looking for more gear?
