What's the difference between men's and women's walking boots?
Men's and women's feet are shaped slightly differently. Sizing tends to run larger in men's shoes, and, when it comes to walking boots, there are some technical details you should know about.
Women's feet generally have higher arches and narrower heels. When they're optimised for a women's fit, technical insoles for shoes and boots are slimmer and contoured for wider forefeet.
Men's boots, meanwhile, have a greater volume and wider heel areas. Even if they're the same brand or model, men's versions are typically heavier than women's walking boots.
If a pair of men's boots fit you more comfortably, there's no reason why you shouldn't choose them. Many of our walking boots for women are also unisex walking boots, giving you more scope to find the right pair.
How can I find the most comfortable walking boots for women?
Comfort is one of the keys to longevity. But before you start trying on a few pairs of ladies' walking boots, you'll need to think about which type will be best suited to your plans.
At Tiso, we think there's a science to finding the best fit. When you visit your nearest store and speak to one of our footwear experts, we'll follow a four-step process:
· We listen to your specific needs, considering any pain or potential problem areas that could influence the best boots for you
· We recommend several women's walking boot brands and models after listening to your preferences, explaining the difference between each type
· We measure and assess your feet using our unique and personalised footwear analysis system
· We suggest supportive insoles and suitable walking socks to help your boots fit more comfortably, if appropriate
Without speaking to the experts at Tiso and trying on your boots in-store, it'll be tough to find out which are the best women's walking boots for you. So if you've got your heart set on a pair of Salomon ladies' hiking boots or a midweight model by Sprayway, we can advise you on finding the right fit.
Should I buy waterproof women's walking boots?
If you expect to be out exploring through autumn and winter, waterproof walking boots could make a sensible choice. Many of our ladies' hiking boots feature Gore-Tex innovation, which is a windproof, waterproof and breathable material made using nylon, PTFE and polyurethane.
There's no compromise when it comes to waterproof boots: their technical materials help keep your feet dry in wet weather and you'll still benefit from incredible comfort and breathability. And if you're looking for boots made using natural fibres or recycled fabrics, we can advise you on the most sustainable choice.
We always recommend considering waterproof walking boots for women who live or frequently walk through mountainous terrain or in areas with a rainy climate.
Should you size up in ladies' hiking boots?
In our boot-fitting, we've shared an easy way to check if your new walking boots are big enough for your feet to move and swell. Remove the insole and place your foot onto it; you should be looking for a gap that's the same width as one or two of your fingers.
It's easy to assume that you should size up in women's hiking boots because you're likely to be wearing them with a thick pair of walking socks. But the answer depends not only on the size of your feet but several other factors too. You should think about:
· The material of your chosen walking boots: Leather might stretch over time, while more rigid materials could retain their shape for longer.
· Any extra weight you'll be carrying: If you're going on an expedition with a heavy pack, your feet will swell more than they might on a short walk.
· The expected terrain on your adventures: Steep descents put more downward pressure on your feet, so you might need a little bit more space.
Which brands do size 8.5 women's walking boots?
We offer a brilliant selection of hiking boots for women in size UK 8.5 or above.
These include models from brands like Altberg, Grisport, Meindl, Salomon and more. You'll find fantastic women's walking boots in larger sizes with all the same technical features. Having bigger feet doesn't need to mean buying a men's shoe.
