I will be going hiking in a few months and I really have no idea what kind of hiking shoes to get. I will be hiking on trails with a pack on my back. I am a female. Any ideas of good quality shoes?

Thank you in advance.
Brands of shoes would be helpful.

Thanks.
 
You will want a shoe that has a "gripper" type sole, is comfortable, and loose enough to wear 2 pair of socks if needed, (1 pair heavier "boot" socks, and the other a thinner type sock.)

Leather is better than synthetic for at least the "uppers" in most cases.

Buy them early enough that you can wear them enough, in short periods, to "break them in", before going hiking. (NEW boots, even properly fitted, CAN cause discomfort and/or blisters!!)

IF hiking in a "wet" area, they should be, at least, "water resistant."

Hope this helps, have fun.

ALWAYS carry at least 2 "spare" pair of socks!!
