Choosing the right walking shoes for you

Being comfortable on your feet helps you explore and fully appreciate the great outdoors. We know how the right pair of hiking shoes can help you conquer the path ahead – and, equally, how the wrong pair can hold you back. Whether you're on a gentle countryside ramble or taking on more rugged terrain, your choice of footwear makes a massive difference.

Our wide range includes shoes that prioritise flexibility, cushioning and durability, depending on your favourite activities. For casual walks, lightweight walking shoes provide comfort and breathability. If you're heading into more demanding conditions, waterproof hiking shoes with additional grip and support make sure you stay safe on and off the designated trail.

Low-cut walking shoes are a popular alternative to higher-cut boots. They're ideal for everyday use and easier-going terrain, offering enhanced comfort and a lighter, more agile feel. Some people prefer hiking trainers to heavier boots for tougher challenges – it's all about personal preference and what you feel confident in.

The lacing, materials and sole are all important factors to consider, too. For example, simpler walking trainers may not provide the grip needed for more challenging treks compared to proper hiking shoes.

If you're on unsure footing with your purchase, we can help you find the perfect footwear for you. Feel free to contact our friendly team or get the help of our experts in-store.
