For those that love hitting the trails and need footwear that isn’t afraid to get a little dirty, you need a high-quality pair of all-terrain boots or sneakers in your life. As luck would have it, there is no shortage of options in this regard and we pick out 10 of the best below:


Adidas Terrex Free Hiker 2 GTX

If there’s one way to ruin a good trek in the wild, it’s an infiltration of the elements into the footwear you so confidently trusted to protect you. The Adidas TERREX Free Hiker 2 GORE-TEX hiking shoe isn’t messing around when it comes to keeping you on the go and ready for anything.

Norda  001 Trail Running Sneaker

Engineered with high-quality, environmentally friendly materials to leave the lightest footprint imaginable, the Norda 001 Trail Running Sneaker is crafted from a proprietary lightweight and abrasion-resistant bio-based Dyneema® and Cordura fabric. 

Naglev Veloce Kevlar Trail Running Shoe

The Veloce from Naglev is a shoe that isn’t shy about its abilities. Crafted with a 100% kevlar shell which is the stuff they use to make aeroplane engines, industrial fibre optic cables, and bulletproof vests, this amazing wilderness-ready footwear is overengineered to be one of the most robust options available on the market.

Danner X Topo Free Spirit Boots

These limited-edition boots from Danner and Topo Designs are crafted with a custom colourway and a suede and textile upper. The GORE-TEX waterproof liner provides breathability in wet conditions, and the removable Ortholite® footbed adds support for those long hikes.

HOKA Kaha 2 Low GTX Trail Sneaker

Crafted with remarkable consideration for the human body, the Kaha 2 Low GTX Hiking Shoe from the guys at HOKA boasts a high bed of soft padding to deliver a forgiving impact without sacrificing energy return. A must-have piece of footwear for anyone serious about their wilderness walks or trail runs.

Lems Primal Pursuit Boots

The materials for the Primal Pursuit Boots from Lems include an air mesh upper that allows for maximum air flow to wick away moisture and keep you presentable for a post-hike craft beer or two with friends. The Primal Pursuit Mid boasts the same zero-drop heel and wide toe box as the Primal 2 that allows the toes to behave like they are meant to – namely, free and splayed.

Salamon XT-6 Trail Sneaker

Originally made for ultramarathoner Kilian Jornet to take part in 100+ mile races, the XT-6 is one of Salomon’s most storied shoes to date. Dubbed the sneaker of the year by GQ for its cross-functional ability and incredibly eye-catching style, the XT-6 was quickly adopted by sneakerheads and runners alike.

All-Weather Overland Trail Sneaker Boots 

The Overland Low from the guys at All-Weather was directly inspired by heritage hikers, both in aesthetics and craftsmanship. Complete with leather and ballistic nylon uppers, grippy Vibram outsoles, and a completely waterproof build, this is a piece of footwear you can rely on for every outdoor adventure. 

Filson x Danner Trail 2650 Hiker Boots

Taking inspiration from the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail running along the spine of the massive volcanic range that divides Filson’s home states, the Filson x Danner Trail 2650 Hiker is engineered with built-in support and traction, outstanding fit, and waterproof protection.
