The Best Hiking Boots for Women
We've bought and tested nearly 60 different pairs of women's hiking boots since 2014, with 22 top models available today in our current lineup. From lightweight hikers to burly beasts, our experts test the top boots year-round and compare them based on their trail comfort, weight, traction, support, and ability to keep your feet dry. Our team of ladies crushed out hundreds of miles for multiple months to parse out each boot's strengths and weaknesses. We then took that data and real-world experience and crafted this detailed assessment of today's best options to help you find the right pair for your needs.
Itching to get out on the trails? If it's footwear you need, we've also tested women's hiking shoes, women's trail running shoes, and even the top slippers for women for when it's time to relax at the end of the day.
Editor's Note: This review was updated on October 15, 2024, to include two new pairs of boots, as well as updated testing and media for previous award winners.
