Hiking Feet helps you find the best footwear for your hikes with first-hand reviews of best-selling hiking boots and shoes. 

Every review is 100% independent and based on my personal hiking experience and professional experience in the outdoor gear industry. With 15,000 miles hiked the past 13 years, I'm an experienced hiker who understands what to look for in hiking footwear. I'm also a former Backcountry Gearhead and footwear manager at a hiking and backpacking shop, so I know how to recommend footwear that fits people's feet and matches their hikes. 

My review process consists of a series of test hikes designed to evaluate (1) support, (2) weight, (3) fit, (4) comfort, (5) weather protection, (6) traction, and (7) value. My full reviews are based on hundreds of miles of personal hiking experience. My preliminary reviews (usually for brand-new boots and shoes) are based on at least fifty miles of testing. Last year alone, I hiked 1400 miles, testing more than 20 pairs. 

This site does not post sponsored content or accept free merchandise in exchange for positive reviews. In most cases, I've bought the boots and shoes I review for personal use. In select cases, I will reach out to brands to request a promising pair to review with the explicit understanding that I will only recommend footwear that passes my tests. Occasionally, brands (typically budget brands) will send me samples—which I won't review or recommend unless it's a boot or shoe that's worthwhile.
