Best Hiking Sandals

For hikers prioritizing lightweight support and breathability, hiking sandals are an increasingly popular alternative to traditional, rigid boots and shoes. While not ideal for all hiking adventures, they can be a great option for well-maintained routes, hot climates, or trails that require frequent stream crossings. To help you find the right one to add to your hiking footwear rotation, our Experts have rounded up the best hiking sandals of the year.

Expert Tip | For longer hikes, we recommend wearing hiking socks with your sandals to best prevent blisters and provide additional cushioning.
