Women's Walking Boots & Shoes

How to choose women's walking boots

The right model depends first on the terrain and length of your walk. For an easy day walk on a well-made path, a soft, lightweight boot is enough; for mountain terrain or multi-day trips with a loaded rucksack, you'll want ankle support and a stiffer sole. Comfort for your feet comes first: women's boots are shaped for a generally narrower foot, with a fit to match. Always try boots on at the end of the day, when your feet are slightly swollen, and wear your walking socks.

High cut or low cut?

A high-cut boot wraps around the ankle and gives extra security on rough ground, in the mountains and under load - it's the natural choice for trekking. Women's low-cut walking shoes offer more freedom and a lighter feel for fast-paced walks and easy-going trails. Mid-cut boots sit in between, offering a bit of both. Compare them all across our full range of walking and trekking boots.

A waterproof boot with grip on every terrain

The sole is what gives you grip: deep lugs bite into earth, mud and rock, while a sticky rubber compound keeps you steady on wet ground. For damp mountain conditions, a waterproof boot keeps your feet dry without sacrificing breathability. Good toe protection shields your feet from stones and roots on technical terrain.

Comfort and care

A comfortable boot is one you forget you're wearing: good cushioning, solid heel support, and above all, the right size (with a little extra room at the toe for descents). Break your boots in on short walks before tackling a long trek. When it comes to care, brush off mud, let them air-dry away from direct heat, and feed the leather regularly to help them last.

What to pair them with?

The right pair of boots deserves technical women's walking socks that help prevent blisters and wick away moisture. With your feet properly sorted, you can make the most of every walk, whatever the terrain.
