Tips

Refrain from heading out to the trail without having your feet properly fitted for your hiking shoes. You may choose to go to a specialty shoe store or an athletic apparel store to have your feet assessed. This doesn’t mean that you must purchase your hiking shoes there, but you can get a good idea of the type of shoe you need. Take your hiking backpack with you, so you can see how comfortable the shoes are with weight on your back. If you have low arches you will need shoes that arch up or have insoles with high arches. If you have very wide feet you must make sure your shoes are wide enough to provide comfort and prevent rubbing against the side of your feet.

The North Face Hedgehog

Retailing for a little over $100, the Hedgehog is lightweight and has waterproof breathable Gore-Tex covering. The outsole is sturdy with top-quality traction. The Hedgehog gets its name from the speedy animal, and is best used for covering trails at a fast pace, crawling along icy riverbanks, or jumping into a kayak to cross a body of water.
