The best hiking shoes combine a minimal, breezy build with enough waterproofing to keep your feet dry when the clouds roll in. There's little worse than soggy socks on the trail, so do yourself a favour and invest in an effective waterproof pair that won't let you down as you're dashing through puddles or wet-weather trekking.
Keen's Hightrail EXP hiking shoes are among the best pairs I've ever tested; they're reasonably lightweight, waterproof, and earned a rare four-and-a-half-star rating in my review for Advnture. They're also 25% off in Keen's summer sale, and are now available for just $112.50 at the Keen website.
