Skechers Women's Trail Hiker Hiking Shoe

These shoes are PERFECT!! Perfect arch (I have high arches) perfect weight - they feel light. Excellent support - the best SUPPORT I have had in a shoe!! GREAT tread - we walk alot and hike mountains and these are very supportive. I washed my rugs outside with a hose and my shoes got all wet - but the shoes did GREAT waterproofing all the water, my feet never got wet.

These took a bit to break in. They are heavy. Almost weighted. So a person like me who has pigeon feet it helps me walk normal. Which causes some pain wprking muscles on my ankle and arch that are not used to working. Done about 40-50 miles hiking on these in trails in Missouri so lots of rocks. Still standing and becoming more comfortable each time. Hard to lace still because I have a extremely narrow foot and the leather is stiff. All in all very happy with shoes.Now. They run normal for me. I have a size 8.5 foot and these shoes fit nicely!! HOWEVER I have long toes. With Skecters D'lights I have to go up a size because of my finger toes.I also know a lot of people are saying shoe isnt wide enough. I have a very narrow foot that i have not had a issue. Only struggled with making the shoe tighter. --So it maybe true that if you have a wide foot these shoes may not be for you. Now, If u have a narrow or very narrow foot they may work well. And long toes fit perfect without sizing up. (At least that was my experience.)

I typically wear a size 9, medium width re: the Skechers brand. But I found that most Skechers hiking shoes were too narrow for my medium width. After trying many hiking shoes, the only ones wide enough for me were these shoes. The laces and velcro do absolutely nothing to adjust the fit (I guess they are there for decoration?) So either this shoe will fit as is, or it won't. I took one star off for that; the shoe should be adjustable for width. Lucky for me, these shoes happen to be a perfect fit. They are a bit difficult to get on, but once they're on, they hug my foot perfectly and I got no blisters or sore spots at all. I felt confident on boulders, hilly hiking, etc that there would be no slipping. The tread is very good.

Since COVID my husband and I take our bikes to the CA coast every weekend and ride 30 miles or so and hike/walk along the bluffs or beaches. These shoes have been great. The tread is thick enough that I don't feel the spikes on my pedals, and it has quite a bit of grip when we are walking on steep sand dunes and rocks.They seem well made and think they'll last a while. They are not as light as the Sketcher walking shoes... like the GoWalks but that's to be expected. These are durable and somewhat waterproof and have great support (no stubbing your toes on branches like the thinner styles).I did add the bungy type shoestrings w/ the lock, I didn't care for the ones that came in them, they were thick and never wanted to stay tied.Overall, I'm happy with them. I did a lot of research and almost passed these by because there were hardly any reviews ... so here's mine :) These are great shoes.

I wear normally a 8 1/2 in most shoes but ordered a 9 which is what I wear in Keen, Columbia, etc… Length worked well. The blue color is very nice, they seem well made, cushy insole. I ordered these for days I am walking 8-10 miles in town to help with sciatica that is worse walking on hard surfaces. Good news! They definitely help with this! Bad news, they are super stiff, no real tongue for shoe so you can’t get a snug fit. They are chunky, and I personally wouldn’t hike in them beyond a smooth gravel trail for that reason. I also found them boxy. I had to add an additional memory foam insert and wear double socks for a better fit. I have never done that with any of my other hiking shoes. They still slip slightly as I walk which is annoying. It really will just depend on how they fit you. I will use for errands and my in town long walks and stick with my current Patagonia and Colombia hike shoes and boots for the trails. I would not order again. They are very nice looking. So if using for a job where you on your feet, I think a good buy, hiking not so much.

I bought these for my 11 year old daughter to wear hiking. She is wearing a size 4 kids shoe, but I figured with thicker hiking socks a size 5 women's would work. They do! Perfect sizing (a little room to grow), fabulous traction, kept her feet cool, cushy memory foam, waterproof (she went in a creek on the first outing - totally fine!), and she loves the teal color. We are going hiking in the Redwoods next week and she is excited to go and wear her new shoes.

I have been on the hunt for the perfect comfortable, sturdy shoe for walking on a gravel trail. These shoes look more like a tennis shoe than a hiking shoe, which I liked. However, they are so incredibly stiff that they hurt my feet just trying them on. I tried walking around the house in them and found them even worse! They bottoms were so stiff that it was like walking with a board stuck to the bottom of my foot. They were just all around uncomfortable.I initially ordered a size 8 (my regular size) and they were way too tight. I ordered a size 8.5 and they were ok lengthwise, but still tight in the toe box. I do not have wide feet, so not sure if the sizing is just off or what.I returned both pairs.

I bought these in a pinch. Literally they arrived the night before my hiking trip. They were a little big on me, but this was perfect because I had bought some gel heel inserts. I didn’t get ANY blisters, no breaking them in. And they were easy to clean. AND they didn’t take up too much of my suitcase. I love Skechers and after reading the reviews was a bit nervous, I would just say mine felt too big because I have skinny feet, but once the gel inserts were in, they were perfect.
