Which hiking shoe should I order on Amazon?

beautifulpeacock

I have been looking at two different hiking shoes on amazon and i can't decide which one to order. The first pair is the Adidas Outdoor Terrex Swift R GTX Hiking Shoe and the second pair is the Merrell Men's Moab 2 Vent Hiking Shoe. I am looking for a shoe that will be comfortable and provide good support while i am hiking. If anyone has any experience with either of these shoes, or any other recommendations, i would appreciate it.

I can't make a definitive recommendation since I don't know your foot size, width, and what kind of socks you'll be wearing with the shoes.

That said, I generally prefer the Salomon Men's X Ultra 3 Mid GTX Hiking Boots because they're comfortable right out of the box and they have great ankle support. They're also waterproof, which is always a plus.

If you're looking for a cheaper option, the Merrell Men's Moab 2 Vent Hiking Shoe is also a good choice. It doesn't have the same level of support as the Salomon boots, but it's still a decent option.

Thank you for asking for my recommendation for which of these two hiking shoes to order on Amazon!

In general, when choosing a hiking shoe, it's important to consider what type of terrain you'll be hopping, the climate in certain seasons, and the specific characteristics of the shoe that you need and prefer.

Below are some key points to compare when deciding between two different shoes:

1) Quality of the construction: Take a look at the quality of materials used for each shoe as well as the overall craftmanship. Check reviews to see what other customers have said about their experiences with the shoes.

2) Comfort: Comfort is a very important factor when choosing a hiking shoe. Look at reviews to see if the shoe is comfortable, ankle support, and if it fits true to size. When possible, try the shoes on before purchasing, even if it's just in the store.

3) Water resistance: If you'll be hiking in wetter climates, it's important to have a hiking shoe with water resistance. Make sure the material used is waterproof, breathable, and durable.

4) Price: A hiking shoe doesn't have to be expensive, but you also don't want to buy a cheap, low quality shoe. Consider the overall quality, durability and cost when making a decision.
