]]>Chacos are fairly popular right now, and that’s for good reason. They’re extremely durable and can last and support you through long and tough hikes as well as offering traction on more slippery heights. They’re also very adjustable and come in a wide variety of styles and colors. They are a bit on the heavy side, however, so if lightness is what you’re looking for these may not be your brand.
If Chacos are too heavy for your taste, or you don’t like their unique adjustment style, Teva is another great brand to check out. The hurricanes, while not as durable as Chacos, are still pretty heavy-duty (but lightweight) and are more affordable. The straps also adjust using a more easily-maneuvered velcro system and also come in a variety of colors and patterns. One thing to keep an eye on which may not be for everyone is that the soles are a bit cushier.
These sandals are a great choice for anyone who likes to get wet—whether that means hiking to a lake or waterfall, or simply going swimming somewhere with rocks where your feet need protection. These sandals are quick-drying and protective, made for both water and land. They are a bit more closed than other options.

]]>Some hikers swear by hiking boots, while others believe you should ditch them altogether. They offer good ankle support, traction, and much better protection when you’re exploring rough terrain, but the list of their cons is equally long.
The tricky thing about hiking boots is that they’ll weigh you down during your hikes due to their heaviness. They also take more time to break in than regular shoes, and you probably don’t need a pair if you’re a casual hiker who avoids snowy and rainy terrains at all costs.
Hiking shoes are a much better option for recreational hikers who are simply looking for comfort. They’re light, soft, and quick-drying, making them the best possible option for casual hikes in dry weather and gentler terrain.
If you, however, intend to go on a hike in rough conditions, hiking shoes won’t do you any good. They’re less protective on rough surfaces and don’t offer as much ankle support as hiking boots, so it’s best to wear them during moderate and relaxing hikes.
