Does the color of your hiking shoes matter? This is not a question I’d ever have thought I’d be asking, because surely the answer is no. If you’re anything like me, you either pick the color you like the most or the color that is on sale (which is rarely the color you like the most, incidentally). Lately, however, I’m increasingly seeing hiking shoes arriving in blinding white, and I’m starting to think that maybe it does matter...
In this feature, I consider whether or not the color of hiking shoes matters, taking a look at different color groups and seeing how they cope when put to use in the backcountry.
