!: Women's Hiking Boots - What Are the Top Brands and What Do They Offer?

Hiking is a unique experience because it combines physical exercise and endurance with relaxation and beauty. It's a great way to beat stress and enjoy natural settings simultaneously. Whether you hike regularly or just once in awhile, wearing the right pair of womens hiking boots is key. You might be purchasing your first pair or you might be looking to upgrade; overall, you'll want boots that are waterproof, durable, and comfortable. In any case, the following top womens hiking boots brands are worth your consideration.

Asolo offers the most current technology, with a variety of sole options. For instance, the Tri-Fusion sole is good for models that come with automatic crampons because it has a tri-dimensional deep tread that helps provide you with support. The Powermatic sole boasts a high-density front portion for stability and its heel eliminates that feeling of shock and wards off potential fatigue. This is a great sole to use on type of terrain. Another new sole, the TPS, allowed Asolo to team up with Vibram to bring you a sole with three different shock absorbers. All Asolo boots offer the patented Active Heel Support (AHS) which create heel control and also allow for shock absorption while using a lightweight material that won't weight the boots down.

Vasque offers its unique Spine Technology which is used to absorb shock and stabilize your feet when hiking on uneven terrain. It is able to cut down on heel impact while still offering a cushioned feel. Many Vasque hiking boots are made from Gore-Tex, which is waterproof, but the fabric also allows your feet to breathe. Vasque also partners with Vibram to create the most innovative, cutting edge soles and works with Aspen Aerogel to provide the best insulation possible by trapping warm air and isolating it. Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, Vasque hiking boots for women are modeled after men's boots only smaller! The women's boots' lasts are formulated with a narrower heel pocket, more instep support, a women's heel to ball ratio and must-needed higher arches.

Merrell women's hiking boots offer a plethora of benefits. One of the highlights is their use of Aegis® Antimicrobial Footbed which reduces odor-causing bacteria and fungi that sometimes harms your feet as well as your boots. The boots also have Dual Density SuperStrut that prevents you from slipping while trying to balance on a wet or rocky surface. The hard thermoplastic urethane improves the boots' durability. Another great feature is Merrell's Flex-Insole System Technology, wherein each type of hiking boot, such as mountaineering, backpacking, backpacking/hiking, and hiking/trail expertly matches the lasts that are required of each.

Keen's Hybrid.ology patented system ensures that their hiking boots keep your feel warm, dry and protected. Keen.Dry makes sure your feet do not make contact with the elements, Keen.Cush prevents from making your feet feel tired, and Keen. DCR allows for powerful traction no matter what the circumstances. Keen also teams up with Aegis to provide blockage to fungi and odor formation. Solid hiking boots must avoid shock while improving suspension and stability, so Keen developed their S3 system to ensure that their boots do just that. These top manufacturers of women's hiking boots all have something to offer. Hopefully, this information will help you decide which brand of boots is best for you.
