Think of what kind of footwear you usually wear when you go hiking. Do you go for style or for comfort? Maybe you can have both with today’s options. There recently has been a collection of hiking sandals that can provide style, comfort, plus other features. It’s also the perfect time (summer) to wear a pair for a more breathable walking-hiking experience.

Here are some pro tips in buying a great pair to have smooth-sailing on your rough adventure. The sandals should provide a good arch support and cushion to make your hiking more comfortable. The straps should be adjustable, making it tighter to achieve the fit of your liking, or looser for more space and breathability. The soles should be sturdy enough to brace impact and rough trails and have a good grip especially on wet surfaces. They should also be waterproof, which can bear walking on streams and quickly dry afterwards. Sandals with different color and style options are also a big plus.

The last thing you want to wear this summer are hot shoes or boots. You should go for a pair of lighter, breathable hiking sandals. Below are some of the top women’s hiking sandals you would want to grab now.
