id=“article-body” class=“row” section=“article-body”> (Image: the_best_women_s_hiking_shoes_and_boots_fo_2021) Today's hiking boots aren't just bits of leather wrapped around your foot, they're laboratory-researched, finely-tuned tools, built with advanced materials that make them lighter, more comfortable and more ready to tackle any terrain. There is, Damenhandtaschen of course, an immense amount of choice, with numerous brands all promising to have the best thing for your feet, whether you're heading out into the mountains or just hopping between museums on your next city break. We've researched some of the biggest, Damenhandtaschen best brands and put together our top picks for adventure shoes and boots for women.

Some of these boots are essentially unisex, with men's and women's sizes available. In those instances, we've tested the men's versions and can attest to their performance and quality. However there are others we like in this list that are built specifically for women's feet, which of course have also been fully tested by CNET, so rest assured that everything on this list has our stamp of approval. See what we did there?

Most walking shoes and boots tend not to differ much between mens and womens options beyond the sizes and maybe the colors.

Yet women's feet typically have different proportions to mens and some women may struggle with boots that have been designed primarily for men's feet. 

Salomon's Vaya Mid boots are specifically designed for women's feet, with a wider toe box and re-engineered arch support. They proved comfortable and supportive in our testing time, while the aggressive sole design and Gore-Tex waterproof lining means they're just as at home in the hills as they are on sedate lake-side footpaths.

While Dr Martens is not a brand you'd typically associate with adventure footwear, the Alyson boots come with a faux-fur lining and a sole that's been engineered for better traction on icy surfaces.

That makes them great for High-End-Mode-Damenhandtaschen cold-weather city exploration where regular shoes might leave you slipping around, fearing for the safety of your ankles. 

The Alyson's sturdy leather upper provides plenty of ankle support, providing confidence on slippery streets, while the classic leather Chelsea boot design means they won't look out of place in the office, in a restaurant, or when trekking around town trying to find the best street food.

True to the company name, these boots innovate through their use of graphene – the atom-thick 'miracle material' that's stronger than steel and lighter than carbon fibre. Here, it's been infused in the sole which Inov-8 reckons makes it more durable and grippier. In my testing I certainly found the boots to be extremely capable on mixed walks, handling muddy trails, loose rock or wet asphalt with ease.
