What Materials Are Used For Women's Hiking Shoes & How Do They Benefit Me?

Lightweight hiking shoes are strong and are able to take the knocks. Hard-wearing leather, Gore-tex, rubber and synthetics are all used to create women's hiking shoes that are built for trekking over any rough terrain. Women's waterproof hiking shoes are essential for mountaineers, hikers, trekkers and explorers, and our collection of trail shoes for women from brands like Adidas showcases superior traction, cushioning and protection. Design and materials are equally important when it comes to women's hiking shoes, trekking boots and other waterproof shoes. The main materials include:

Full-grain leather

For hiking in harsh environments, full-grain leather women's hiking shoes are usually recommended. Full-grain leather resists impacts and can be fully waterproof. This material is highly popular for its impressive abrasion resistance and excellent durability.

Split-grain leather

Split-grain leather also provides good protection and can be combined with Gore-tex and webbing to create a lightweight, waterproof and breathable hiker boot. This type of leather 'splits away' the inner rough part of the cowhide and separates it from the smooth exterior.

Synthetic material

Synthetic and natural materials are blended to manufacture high-performing trail shoes for women. The best women's waterproof hiking shoes by Columbia, Salomon, The North Face and other premium manufacturers include lots of features, special midsole, better ankle support, traction-enhanced outsole and superior cushioning all-round. These waterproof boots, trail running shoes and other women's hiking shoes are state-of-the-art and are the best in their class for trekking, hiking and mountaineering.

Which Pattern Is The Best For The Outsole Of Trail Shoes For Women?

The outsoles of your hiking shoes are often more important than anything else since your shoes must be able to deal with rugged terrain. In general, there are two types of outsoles you should be looking out for if you want maximum performance.

Lugged outsoles

A lug pattern is often preferred for anyone who wants to go hiking in a mountain environment. Outsoles with a lug pattern tend to provide the wearer with more grip, but they also prove incredibly useful in muddy environments, as the lug pattern evacuates any mud more effectively.

Heeled outsoles

Outsoles with a special heel zone are extremely suitable for an environment with steep declines and hills. By separating the heel from the rest of the foot, hikers will have more control while they descend. In fact, it greatly reduces the chance of slipping, which is why these kinds of women's hiking shoes are recommended for anyone who goes hiking in an area with steep inclines and declines.
