A light hiking shoe that adds a stiff midfoot plate and a held heel to a trail runner's weight, so rocky ground feels steadier. It grips wet stone well and comes in true wide sizes. Firm, modest cushioning and a premium price for the waterproof model are the things to weigh first.

A sturdy, waterproof winter boot for shoveling, dog walks and snowy errands, with enough grip and ankle support for light winter trails. It keeps slush out and feels steady on frozen ground. The weight, a single width and warmth meant for active days rather than standing still are the trade-offs to weigh.

A waterproof, insulated winter hiking boot for people who keep moving in the cold, from snowy trail walks to slushy commutes. It feels light and natural to walk in, more like a hiker than a snow boot. The mid-height collar and moderate warmth mean deep snow and long, still hours outdoors call for something else.

A tall, cushioned trail shoe for long days on rocky, wet or muddy ground, with a soft foam core and full-length Vibram rubber for grip. It suits ultra runners and hikers who want protection for hours. It is heavy and bulky, so quick, nimble runs are better served elsewhere.

A roomy, waterproof hiking shoe for people whose toes need space and who want footwear that lasts. The fused construction avoids a glued sole join and the fit needs no real break-in. It is a heavy, firm shoe, so long days and hot weather are where it feels like work.

A waterproof hiking boot that brings Hoka's soft, rolling running-shoe feel to long days on the trail, with grip that holds on wet rock. It suits hikers who carry a pack or cover big miles. The snug, standard-width fit and the extra weight are the things to check before you buy.

A light, quick hiking shoe for people who want to feel the trail instead of plod over it. The Kevlar-reinforced upper shrugs off scree and the chassis keeps your footing steady. It runs snug and firm, so wide feet and long days on hard ground are the things to check first.

Oboz rebuilt its popular Katabatic around a lighter GORE-TEX lining, and the result is a quick, sure-footed shoe for muddy and rocky weekends. We explain how the fit runs, where the firm ride helps or hurts and which hikers are better served by a roomier or softer option.

The updated version of one of hiking's longest-running leather boots, with a fit that molds to your foot over time and stability that shines under a loaded pack. It suits backpackers and hikers with hard-to-fit feet. Firm cushioning and a hefty, old-school feel are what you give up for that durability.
