When you plan to head out for a shorter hike or day trip, a trail shoe will offer you the cushioning and breathability of a hiking boot, without the weight and rigidity. Especially on a spring to autumn day, where rain and damp grass isn’t such an issue, these shoes are perfect.
Hybrid Shoes
In this category you also get shoes which cross over into running shoes. Whether scrambling over rocks or running down tracks these shoes are lightweight and flexible to offer you the most amount of freedom to move. The sacrifice is usually in the water repellency of the shoe and that aren’t suitable for longer walks.
