TOP 1: Columbia Women's Crestwood
✅Reasons for Purchase：
- Sturdy, hard-wearing
- Extremely comfortable
- Breathable
- Lightweight
- Excellent traction
⛔Cons：
- Waterproof design is relatively weak
The Columbia Crestwood is a lightweight and flexible hiking shoe, combining suede and mesh in its upper design for a comfortable fit and a sporty, athletic feel underfoot. It features a wide width option, making it suitable for both narrow and wide feet. The design offers just the right amount of padding for the ankle and tongue without adding bulk or weight. Its rubber outsole performs exceptionally well on most terrains, proving to be highly durable. I've personally worn it on numerous rugged trails, and it still looks and feels like new, showing no signs of significant wear!
While it's not waterproof, you can benefit more from its breathability than waterproofing by choosing this shoe.
Overall, if you're willing to invest in a sturdier pair of shoes, the Columbia Women's Crestwood is the top choice for tackling slippery rocks and polished boulders on the trails.
TOP 2: Merrell Women's Moab 3 Hiking Shoe
✅Reasons for Purchase：
- Wide toe box
- Excellent waterproof protection
- Padded ankle support
⛔Cons：
- A bit spendy
- Not suitable for long cross-country trips
When it comes to the Merrell Women's Moab 3 Hiking Shoe, it excels in simplicity, stability, and comfort, earning high scores across multiple tests. Designed to accommodate various foot shapes, it particularly suits those with wider feet, providing excellent ankle and tongue padding for enhanced overall comfort. Equipped with air cushion heels to compensate for lower ankle support, along with EVA midsoles and contoured insoles for additional arch support.
Our testers were surprised by its waterproof technology, which kept our feet dry and comfortable even during soak testing.
However, we have to say that Merrell hiking shoes are expensive, which might be out of our budget.
TOP 3: Lorax Pro Barefoot Shoes
✅Reasons for Purchase:
- Lightweight and breathable
- Responsive
- Quick-drying and tear-resistant
- Affordable
⛔Cons:
- Lacks the ankle support needed for long backpacking trips.
If you're a budget-conscious hiker, consider giving the Lorax Pro barefoot shoes a try - it's one of the lightest hiking shoes we've tested.
The Lorax Pro boasts a minimalist design, stripping away unnecessary decorations and focusing solely on functionality. Its lightweight and comfort left a lasting impression on me; the lightweight upper and flexible sole make for agile strides on rugged trails, infusing each step with power and vitality! Additionally, it's crafted from high-quality materials, ensuring durability with abrasion resistance and tear resistance.
The quick-drying technology wowed our testers; but by comparison, it might not be suitable for polished rock trails.
Overall, we love its lightweight design as it instills confidence on the trails. With sturdy foot feel and responsive feedback, it's the go-to choice for lightweight backpackers seeking agility.
TOP 4: MAINCH Women's Hiking Water Shoes Quick Dry Outdoor Sport Sneakers
✅Reasons for Purchase:
- All-day comfort
- Excellent shock absorption
- Comfortable, quick-drying
- Breathable mesh upper
⛔Cons:
- Not suitable for hikers with wide feet
The MAINCH Women's Hiking Shoes blend the flexibility of trail running shoes with the stability of hiking boots in a low-profile design, making them an unstoppable choice for trail running. The durable mesh upper combines with a compression-molded midsole to provide excellent support while maintaining flexibility, making them suitable for both day hikes and long backpacking trips.
Mesh upper keeps feet ventilated and comfortable. Despite their petite appearance, they are quite powerful! While our testers experienced instant comfort right out of the box, we recommend sizing up these boots as they run small and won't fit hikers with wide feet.
This upgraded improvement is an affordable option for novice hikers and those who are not primarily concerned with top-end performance.

While testing this shoe, we were impressed with its solid support and comfortable cushioning.
