Step Up Your Adventure: A Guide to Finding the Perfect Hiking Shoes

Ah, hiking! The feeling of fresh air on your face, the crunch of leaves underfoot, and the stunning scenery that unfolds with every step. But before you embark on your next outdoor adventure, there's one crucial piece of equipment you need: the right pair of hiking shoes.

Try this product Hiking Shoes

Think of your hiking shoes as trusty companions. They'll carry you over rugged terrain, support your ankles on uneven paths, and keep your feet comfortable for miles to come. But with so many options on the market, choosing the perfect pair can feel overwhelming. Fear not, fellow adventurer! This guide will equip you with the knowledge to find the ideal hiking shoes for your unique needs and terrain.

Know Your Terrain:

Imagine yourself scaling a rocky mountain peak, traversing a muddy forest trail, or leisurely strolling through a national park. Each environment demands different features in a hiking shoe. Here's a breakdown for common hiking terrains:

Day Hiking & Light Trails: For well-maintained paths and gentle inclines, prioritize comfort and breathability. Lightweight hiking shoes with good traction are ideal.

Moderate Hiking & Uneven Terrain: Hitting the trails with steeper slopes and loose rocks? Look for sturdier hiking boots with ankle support and aggressive treads for better grip.

Backpacking & Rugged Terrain: Carrying a heavy backpack calls for maximum support and stability. Choose high-ankle hiking boots with waterproof materials and exceptional traction for challenging terrain.

Comfort is King (and Queen):

Hiking is supposed to be enjoyable, not a test of your endurance. Here's how to ensure your shoes feel great from the first step:

Fit: This is paramount! Your shoes shouldn't be too tight or too loose. Allow enough room for your toes to wiggle and for slight swelling on longer hikes.

Break-in Period: Don't underestimate the power of a good break-in period. Wear your new shoes for short walks around town before hitting the trails.

Cushioning: Your feet will thank you for ample cushioning. Look for shoes with good shock absorption, especially for longer hikes with significant elevation gain.

Features for Every Foot:

Hiking shoes come with a variety of features that cater to specific needs:

Waterproof Membranes: For wet or muddy conditions, a waterproof membrane like Gore-Tex® keeps your feet dry and comfortable.

Breathable Materials: These allow moisture to escape, keeping your feet cool and preventing blisters. Mesh panels are often found in hiking shoes for breathability.

Shank Support: A shank is a stabilizing plate inserted between the midsole and outsole. It provides additional support and helps prevent fatigue on long hikes.

Ankle Support: High-ankle boots offer more stability and protect your ankles on uneven terrain. Opt for mid-ankle boots for a good balance of support and flexibility on moderate trails.

Traction: This is crucial for preventing slips and falls. Look for aggressive treads with deep lugs for better grip on different surfaces.

Beyond the Basics:

Now that you've grasped the essentials, let's delve into some additional considerations:

Weather Conditions: Will you be hiking in hot, cold, or rainy weather? Choose shoes with appropriate insulation or breathability based on the expected climate.

Weight: For long-distance hikes or backpacking, lighter shoes make a big difference.

Personal Style: While function is key, don't discount aesthetics! Many hiking shoes come in stylish colors and designs that complement your outdoor spirit.

Remember:

Invest in Quality: Hiking shoes are an investment in your comfort and safety. Opt for a well-respected brand that offers durable and reliable footwear.

Seek Expert Advice: Don't hesitate to visit a reputable outdoor store and talk to a knowledgeable salesperson. They can assess your needs and recommend the perfect shoes for your next adventure.

Bonus Tip: Take care of your hiking shoes! After each use, clean them thoroughly with a damp cloth and allow them to dry completely. This will extend their lifespan and keep them performing their best.

With the right pair of hiking shoes by your side, you're ready to conquer any trail and explore the breathtaking beauty of the outdoors. So, lace up, step out, and create unforgettable memories on your next hiking adventure!

My home country - Pierre Gasly x IcelandicOlympicIceHockey! Reader

Plot: Your boyfriend Pierre watches on as you bring home Gold for team Iceland before you show him around the waterfalls and geysers your country is known for!

A/N: Having been to Iceland, this one was really fun to write as I've done all the things mentioned!

You’d just won gold and we’re on a complete high, your boyfriend being there to celebrate you and your teams win. It was a thrilling feeling having the Gold Medal placed around your neck and hugging all of your team mates who'd been a part of the journey.

You had all worked insanely hard and you'd cried once you realized you won.

The celebrations that night were crazy, you and Pierre spent the whole night in the club with all your friends and some of your family. There were also randoms there who were congratulating you and buying you drinks the whole night - much to Pierre's annoyance as they were mostly men.

But once they offered him a drink too after recognizing him, he didn't feel as peeved.

They day after and you both woke up with the worst hangover imaginable. You laid in bed in the fancy 5 star hotel you were set up in, both complaining about the headache you both had before you sulked down the stairs for the breakfast buffet.

You guys filled yourself on all the greasiest food in attempt to get rid of the hangover.

"Fuck Elskan. I feel awful" you say in Icelandic and Pierre looks at you as if you've grown two heads, not understanding anything but the pet name you use often for him.

"Babe, English or French please... I'm dying here!" he groans.

"Sorry, i revert back when I'm tired!" you smile before taking his hand.

"We have a busy day today!" you smile, excited for the plan you guys have.

"Nooooooo, please I just need a day in bed!" he complains looking over at you.

"You don't want to see my country?" you say with a sad voice, knowing he did as he'd been asking for ages for you to take him across Iceland and show him all the things you did growing up.

"I do!" he whines looking over at you.

"I just - cant we do that tomorrow?" he asks looking over you his sleepy eyes telling you he was struggling a little bit more than he was letting on.

"The fresh air will do you good, come on lets go get ready! It's cold so we need to wrap up warm" you advise grabbing his hand and dragging him out the restaurant.

You both change into warm clothes and waterproof having a little rucksack with you each. You guys had a busy day where you'd be hiking up a glacier and seeing some of the best waterfalls Iceland had to offer before going to swim in the geothermal spa called the Blue Lagoon to round up your day.

"The guys said we might even get to see the northern lights tonight!" you grin excitedly.

"Really?" Pierre asks knowing you'd seen them multiple times in your lifetime but it was something you still got pretty excited about.

You guys were on the tour bus and went straight to the glaciers, you had grippy shoes on, knowing what Iceland was like in the winter but Pierre didn't exactly think that through and when you looked back to where he was, really behind the rest of the group he looked like Bambi.

You couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Pierre, come on here!" you say handing him the walking stick you'd been using. He thanked you before you helped him up, holding one of his hands to try and keep him stable.

You get to the top and Pierre has a red face and watering eyes from the wind at the top unlike you wearing googles and a bandana to cover your mouth and neck to keep the warmth in.

"Why didn't you prepare me better!" he groans looking around at everyone else.

"I told you what to bring!" you giggle. You then start to make the decent down the glacier seeing the top of the gushing waterfall.

"I didn't expect it to be so loud!" Pierre shouts over the really loud water. All you could do was laugh at him before the tour guide started to talk to you in Icelandic about what was coming up next on the tour. Pierre awkwardly waited off to one side not knowing what to do.

"You are really going to enjoy the next bit!" you smile taking his hand and pull him into a searing kiss. His lips were a little chapped from the cold but you didn't mind.

You guys made the drive to the blue lagoon. You split in the changing rooms and Pierre was shocked to be greeted by multiple naked men. It was normal for you and when you met him at the entrance into the water he looked almost traumatised.

"Sorry I should have warned you about what you would have walked into!" you giggle before he shakes his trying to get rid of the images burned into his brain.

You both swim around, going to grab the face scrub at the bar to plaster over you face. You loved coming to the geothermal spa. The sensation of dipping right under the water, feeling the heat warm up your skin before standing up and having the wind whip around your wet skin was a sensation like no other.

"This is very romantic" Pierre smiles, holding you as you both float around clinging to each other.

"Mmmmm I'm glad we've done this. I've been missing home far to much!" you sigh. You'd made the decision to move with Pierre, as it made sense considering he was closer to Alpine and he was travelling for most of the year.

"I'm just scared for tomorrow!" he sighs, knowing it was a day he'd been expecting for a while but it didn't feel real.

"I've told you so many times, my parents will love you. We should have seen them earlier!" you grin, pulling him in for a kiss as you wrap your legs around his waist.

"God I love you!" he exclaims twirling you round in the water.

Explore The Great Outdoors

Every day is a good day when its being spent in the Desolation Wilderness. The outdoor photo above is the march up the trail to Lake Aloha (heading up to it from Heather and Susie Lakes located just to the East of Lake Aloha and lower in elevation).

Lake Aloha

Here's the expansive view across the lake. You can't make it out, but to give some perspective, South Lake Tahoe sits in the far distance (under the "thunderhead" cumulonimbus cloud to the left in the photo). Trust me, pictures don't do this open space justice.

Hikers And Backpackers - Be Prepared!

If you've never been here before, it's a place you want to go. Whether you are a backpacker looking to stay overnight or a day hiker wanting to explore, rugged beauty will be found throughout the Desolation Wilderness in the expansive Sierra Nevada mountain range.

Keep in mind, if you haven't spent much time in the outdoors, these hikes can be moderate in intensity, so make sure you are prepared.

Water and snacks are a must. Bring close you can peel off and quickly throw back on.

Temperatures vary throughout the year and the one constant is that the weather is always changing. Afternoon thunderstorms are a regular occurrence during the summer (which can lead to strong winds, thunder, lightning, hail, and brief heavy rains).

It's not likely you'll find yourself getting snowed on during the summer months (when the trails are typically fully open and accessible after the spring snow melt), but these elevations are pushing 7,000 - 10,000 feet plus, so it can never be ruled out. By all means, you'll run into patches of snow. Fun for the kids as they don't expect to get treated to a snowball fight during the summer!

Backpacking With Your Companion!

Going with your best companion is a must too, but make sure the trails are dog friendly. Bring plenty of food and water for them too.

Even though water is everywhere (you don't need to worry about treating their water like we need to do ours!), there are desolate areas along these trails where you'll find they need a drink on the longer, hotter, days.

Best Backpacking Shoe

For the best footwear, I transitioned from traditional hiking boots to the Altra Lone Peak. It's labeled as a "running shoe", but I use them for day hikes and backpacking.

The open toe box lends towards a wider shoe up at our toes. Don't think it makes a big difference? It does! No more bruised pinky toe because your toes are so scrunched in that narrow hiking boot you've been wearing.

They're so light weight they relieve stress on your legs too, so there's more fuel in the tank when you get to where you're going and you feel better when you get there. I'm 48, so I feel it from time to time!

They grip. There's a ton of loose chunk rock in the Desolation Wilderness, along with a lot of granite slab, so the inner sole rock guard blunts the sharp edges with each step and the grippiness keeps you on your feet.

They're not waterproof and that's actually a feature! They don't trap water on your feet like a traditional waterproof hiking shoe will after you miscalculated the stream crossing and got water in them, so your feet don't stay waterlogged. They dry out remarkably quick, so with the right pair of wicking socks, there's no need to shy away or worry about any water you encounter. It's truly unreal and was totally unexpected.

The only "slight" negative with these backpacking shoes is that you don't get the ankle support found in high top hiking boots, so there are times you feel like you're going to slip out of your shoes. This is mostly mental. However, if you don't have strong ankles, work these new hiking boots in. Make the long treks in your traditional hiking boots and trade off to these for your day excursions. The Altra's break in quickly, but you want to make sure you can handle the change.

Again, there's more than a lot to like about Altra's hiking shoe! They've made all the difference in the world for me and I'm glad I learned about them after stumbling across Jessica "Dixie" Mills online.

To find out more about her backpacking journeys check out her blog at Homemade Wanderlust - she's got a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things backpacking and has through-hiked the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail), CDT (Continental Divide Trail), and the Appalachian Trail (just to name a few of her major accomplishments).

Cheers to exploring Lake Aloha and the great outdoors. It does wonders for the mind and body, so get out there!

Top Best Disc Golf Shoes

Best Disc Golf Shoes: A Comprehensive Guide

Disc golf is a sport that requires a unique blend of skills, endurance, and precision. While most players focus on their discs, their footwear plays a crucial role in maximizing performance. Proper shoes can enhance stability, comfort, and traction, all of which are vital for making accurate throws and navigating challenging courses. In this guide, we’ll explore the best disc golf shoes available on the market, evaluating them for comfort, durability, traction, and support.

Why Disc Golf Shoes Matter

Unlike traditional golf, which often takes place on manicured courses, disc golf courses are typically outdoors and vary in terrain. A good pair of disc golf shoes must support players through a variety of conditions, from muddy fields to steep inclines. Disc golfers spend a lot of time walking or running, so comfort and durability are just as important as traction.

Key Features to Look for in Disc Golf Shoes:

Traction: Disc golf requires a solid grip, whether on wet grass, gravel paths, or muddy terrain. The shoes must have specialized tread patterns for excellent traction.

Comfort: Since disc golf involves a lot of walking, comfort is paramount. Look for shoes with good cushioning and adequate arch support.

Durability: Shoes should be built to withstand the elements and repeated use.

Water Resistance: Disc golf courses are often exposed to rain or dew. Waterproof or water-resistant shoes keep your feet dry and comfortable.

Stability: Stability is essential for making powerful throws, especially on uneven terrain. A well-constructed sole and upper will provide the support you need.

Now, let’s take a look at some of the best shoes for disc golf, ranging from those designed specifically for the sport to general-purpose trail shoes that work well in a disc golf setting.

1. Nike Trail Running Shoes (Nike Pegasus Trail Series)

Why It's Great for Disc Golf:

Nike’s trail running shoes, especially the Nike Pegasus Trail, are excellent choices for disc golf due to their durable construction and grip. They come with a multi-surface outsole that provides superior traction in various conditions. The shoe features responsive cushioning and a supportive fit, perfect for long rounds on challenging courses.

Traction: Nike’s versatile sole design offers excellent grip on a variety of surfaces, whether you’re navigating wet grass or gravel paths.

Comfort: With their soft foam midsole and Flyknit upper, the Pegasus Trail shoes provide great cushioning, ensuring that your feet remain comfortable after hours of play.

Durability: The shoes have a reinforced toe and heel for extra protection and long-lasting durability.

Drawbacks:

The shoes might be on the heavier side compared to other trail running shoes. Also, some users report that the fit can be snug, especially for players with wider feet.

2. Salomon Speedcross 5

Why It's Great for Disc Golf:

The Salomon Speedcross 5 is a popular choice for athletes who need both performance and stability. Known for its aggressive tread pattern, the Speedcross 5 excels on soft or muddy terrain, making it an ideal option for disc golfers who often play on wet or slippery courses.

Traction: The shoes feature deep lugs on the sole, which excel at gripping uneven and muddy ground. This makes them perfect for wet and slippery conditions.

Comfort: Salomon’s SensiFit™ technology ensures that the shoe hugs the foot securely, providing a comfortable and snug fit. The shoe’s EVA midsole offers great cushioning.

Durability: With reinforced areas around the toes and heels, the Speedcross 5 is built for long-term use.

Drawbacks:

The Speedcross 5 is a bit more specialized for rugged terrain, so it may not be the best choice if you often play on dry, hard ground.

3. Adidas Terrex Swift R2 GTX

Why It's Great for Disc Golf:

Adidas’ Terrex Swift R2 GTX shoes are designed for trail running and hiking, making them ideal for disc golf. They are lightweight, breathable, and waterproof, with a sole that offers solid traction on multiple surfaces.

Traction: The Continental™ rubber outsole provides excellent grip on both dry and wet surfaces, ensuring stability while throwing or walking.

Comfort: The shoes feature a GORE-TEX® lining, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions, and their lightweight design ensures comfort throughout a round.

Durability: The toe cap and heel are reinforced for extra durability, and the shoes are built to last in all kinds of weather conditions.

Drawbacks:

Some players might find the sizing a bit off, and the shoes can feel a little stiff at first. They require some break-in time to reach their full comfort potential.

4. Merrell Moab 2 Ventilator

Why It's Great for Disc Golf:

For players who prefer more rugged hiking shoes for disc golf, the Merrell Moab 2 Ventilator is a top contender. Known for its durability and comfort, the Moab 2 offers a sturdy design that holds up under the pressures of an active disc golf game.

Traction: The Vibram® TC5+ sole is designed to offer excellent grip on both wet and dry surfaces, making it perfect for varying course conditions.

Comfort: These shoes feature Merrell’s air-cushion in the heel for added support and shock absorption. The ventilated design ensures breathability, preventing your feet from getting too hot during long rounds.

Durability: The Moab 2 is built to last, with reinforced stitching and a tough rubber toe cap for added protection.

Drawbacks:

While they offer great protection and support, the Moab 2 Ventilator is heavier than many other disc golf shoe options, which may be a consideration if you're looking for a lighter, more flexible shoe.

5. Inov-8 Terraultra G 270

Why It's Great for Disc Golf:

The Inov-8 Terraultra G 270 is an excellent choice for those who need both trail performance and comfort for disc golf. Known for its durability and lightweight feel, it excels at grip and stability on all types of terrain.

Traction: The Graphene-enhanced rubber outsole ensures unparalleled grip, even on wet and slippery surfaces. This shoe is ideal for players who face muddy, rocky, or uneven courses.

Comfort: The Powerflow+ midsole offers great cushioning while maintaining flexibility, ensuring comfort during long rounds.

Durability: With a design that incorporates graphene technology, the Terraultra G 270 offers excellent durability while still being lightweight.

Drawbacks:

While incredibly durable, some players may find that the shoes offer less cushioning than other trail shoes, making them a less ideal option for those who prioritize plush comfort.

6. Columbia Montrail Caldorado III

Why It's Great for Disc Golf:

The Columbia Montrail Caldorado III is another trail shoe designed with the active athlete in mind. Its stability and comfort make it an excellent choice for disc golfers who play on challenging terrains.

Traction: Featuring a TrailShield outsole, the Caldorado III excels on rocky and uneven surfaces, providing the grip needed to avoid slips during a throw or walk.

Comfort: The FluidFoam midsole offers excellent cushioning, and the shoe’s rock plate provides added protection against sharp objects on the trail.

Durability: With a rugged construction and durable materials, the Caldorado III is built to last and endure multiple rounds on a variety of surfaces.

Drawbacks:

Although the shoe is generally comfortable, some users report that it can feel stiff and takes some time to break in properly.

7. Under Armour HOVR Sonic 5 Trail

Why It's Great for Disc Golf:

The Under Armour HOVR Sonic 5 Trail offers the performance and comfort you need for a long day on the disc golf course. The shoes are engineered with Under Armour's HOVR™ technology, which provides energy return and enhanced cushioning.

Traction: The UA HOVR sole is designed with traction in mind, making it ideal for players who need to maintain solid footing on tricky surfaces.

Comfort: The shoes feature UA HOVR™ technology for a soft, responsive feel with every step. The shoe is lightweight and breathable, helping you stay comfortable throughout a long round.

Durability: These shoes are built to last, with durable materials that can withstand the elements and the wear and tear of a disc golf course.

Drawbacks:

Some players find that the HOVR™ technology adds a little too much cushion, making the shoe feel less stable on hard surfaces.

Conclusion

When it comes to choosing the best disc golf shoes, it's crucial to select a pair that suits your needs and playing style. Shoes like the Salomon Speedcross 5 or Nike Pegasus Trail are excellent for players who need grip and comfort, while options like the Merrell Moab 2 Ventilator or Inov-8 Terraultra G 270 are great for those who prioritize durability and ruggedness.

We independently evaluate all recommended products and services. Any products or services put forward appear in no particular order. if you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation. After continued research, we found that our original selections for Crocs alternatives still stand as our top recommendations. The Lusso Cloud Scenario Slide remains our favorite overall pick for its unbeatable combination of comfort, style, and durability. We’ve added a comparison table to help you easily review key features like material, product type, and benefits, making it simpler to choose the perfect pair based on your needs. September 2024 As ashamed as I am to admit it, I must come clean. I wore a Crocs alternative long before I committed to the true thing. I mean, $50 for rubber sandals? Yeah, no thanks. And while I see the value of the real deal now, my first instinct was to make a beeline for a local Target and spend $10 on shoes similar to Crocs. Which is exactly what I did. I wore those pair until there were holes in the soles, and let me tell you, they lasted well over a year. The best Crocs alternative will do everything the OG can. With the right pair, you should be able to cross streams, go on summer adventures, hike some easy trails, and plod around the house. Wearing them for fashion? Even more power to you. As a Crocs fanatic who spent ages wearing alternatives, I present to you: the best Crocs alternatives to get a feel for the shoe before committing. Who knows, you may even prefer these substitutions over real Crocs. Key Takeaways The best Croc alternative is the Lusso Cloud Scenario Slide which has more of a sandal construction but serves major upgrades in the comfort (and style) department. If you’re hoping to stay true to the classic look, the Beister Non Slip Clogs are a solid budget-friendly option that resembles a true alternative to Crocs. lussocloud / Instagram Comparison of Crocs Alternatives Product Key Features Material Product Type Benefits Usage Instructions Lusso CloudScenario Slide Arch support, lightweight,waterproof IP-EVA Slip-on Sandal Comfortable for travel,beach-ready Perfect for around thehouse or on the go Beister Non SlipClogs Swiveling heel strap, waterproof,nonslip treads Plastic, EVA Clog Ideal for pool orkitchen wear Easy to pack for trips Gucci Elea Slip OnSandal Designer embossed,platform, waterproof Rubber Slip-on Sandal Fashion-forward,status symbol Best for casualsummer wear BirkenstockSuper-Birki Clogs Waterproof, non-slip,comfortable Polyurethane Clog Ideal for gardenand beach wear Comfortable forplantar fasciitis Dansko Kane SlipOn Mule Natural Arch technology,cushioned, water resistant Bio-based EVA Mule Supportive for longperiods of standing Great for daily wear ChayChax GardenShoes Adjustable heel strap,cushioned sole, ventilated EVA Clog Foot fatigue relief,nonslip treads Suitable for wet surfaces Merrell Hydro MocWater Shoe Adjustable backstrap,ventilation, durable EVA, BloomPerformance Foam Water Shoe Best for river crossings,trail running Great foroutdoor adventures Adidas AdiletteClog Slide Ventilation ports, contoured footbed,lightweight Synthetics, EVA Clog Slide Best for casual wear, stylish Perfect for travelor the beach KEEN YoguiArts Slipper Extra ventilation, cushioned design,odor protection EVA Sandal/Slipper Great for heavy wear,durable outsole Ideal for campingand outdoor activities Chaco ChillosClog Ventilation ports, wider fit,adjustable strap EVA,Polyester Webbing Clog Best for bikingand light hiking Ideal for summer adventures As the best alternative, you can expect a lot from these slides. While they’re not exactly Crocs – they are missing the signature back strap – they’re a more fashionable option you can wear around the house and take on the go. Since they’re loaded with arch support and feature lightweight construction, these shoes are perfect for travel and will easily replace your boat shoes. As one reviewer put it, the Lusso Scenario Comfort Slides are “kind of like Crocs, but a nicer look.” They’re slightly more expensive than the originals, but they offer unparalleled comfort and durability. Not to mention they’re totally waterproof, making them the best beach and pool shoes around. If you’re looking for additional support or plan on heavier use, this Crocs alternative also comes in a slip-on version with a firm back. Material: IP-EVA | Sizes: 3 – 13 | Colors Available: 6 For a tried and true look, these Crocs alternatives for men are a solid option that retains everything we love about the classic Crocs type of shoe. We’re talking a swiveling heel strap (sports mode, here we come), ventilation ports, a cushioned sole, and waterproof construction. But these Crocs alternatives take things a step further with nonslip treads that make them ideal for pool or kitchen wear, plus a flexible design that makes them a breeze to pack for trips. At a solid budget price with a very comfortable fit, these alternatives aren’t the most durable on the list (the uppers are made from plastic) but will be the first pair of shoes you grab to hit the pool, beach, or public shower. Material: Plastic, EVA | Sizes: 7.5 – 11 | Colors Available: 3 I’ve had my eyes on this Gucci Crocs alternative since they were first released in 2021. Safe to say, my eyes are still on them. They are quite literally designer Crocs, and there’s no other way to spin it. While they may be half as practical as the real thing and ten times the price, the shoes are embossed with the signature double G, which makes them worth every penny. No, they aren’t compatible with Jibbitz. Yes, they are absolutely a status symbol. With a slight platform and two neutral colorways, these summer shoes are a chart topper for the best alternative. And like all things Crocs related, this is a hill I’m willing to die on. Material: Rubber | Sizes: 5.5 – 14.5 | Colors Available: 2 Obviously, Birkenstock has its own Crocs alternative, taking the form of Super-Birki clogs. Ideal if you’re looking for waterproof house shoes, these alternatives are a top choice for the garden, the beach, or anywhere else you’d wear Crocs. They’re also particularly comfortable for people with plantar fasciitis. Designed with all of the pleasures of traditional Birkenstocks, these shoes are prime if you’re a brand loyalist. While there’s lots to love about them, one major downside is there are no holes for drainage or ventilation. But this is easily made up for with the abundant color options and non-slip soles. Material: Polyurethane | Sizes: 4 – 13.5 | Colors Available: 12 Crocs are practical, but are they the most comfortable shoes on earth? Maybe not. If you’re looking for a similar slip on shoe that’s renowned for its cushy fit, the Dansko Kane mules are well loved by men across the world. Best known as sturdy footwear for chefs, these clogs are a dependable option for daily wear. Especially if you’ll be on your feet for extended periods of time or are seeking the best walking shoes for men. Reviewers specifically state that these are “much more comfortable than Crocs”, especially for wearers with knee and joint pain. Outfitted with special Natural Arch technology, these are some of the most supportive shoes on the market. They’re also water resistant with ventilation holes on the sides of the shoes, similar to Crocs, along with deeper treads and a lightweight construction. As some of the best looking Crocs alternatives (peep the sleek wood paneling), consider the Dansko mules if you want something to carry you from the barbeque to the beach with ease. Material: Bio-based EVA | Sizes: 8.5 – 14 | Colors Available: 3 If price is the main reason you’re hunting for a Crocs alternative, these alternatives are a top choice since they’re less expensive than the originals. Though despite the low price, they measure up against the real deal, with an adjustable heel strap, extra cushioned sole, and abundant ventilation ports. Aside from the decent color selection and the compatibility with Jibbitz charms, these alternatives are great for combatting foot fatigue. This is largely due to the enhanced arch support built into the removable soles, which are also beaded for a slight massaging effect. However, what we love most about this alternative is the nonslip treads, which will give you confidence walking over wet surfaces, be it poolside or through puddles. Material: EVA | Sizes: 5 – 13 | Colors Available: 17 Searching for something a bit funkier than plain old Crocs? The Merrell Hydro Moc gives Yeezy men’s sandals a run for their money with the same futuristic design concept for standout waterproof footwear. This alternative embodies everything we love about water shoes: an adjustable backstrap, ventilation ports, and next level durability. These Merrell moccasins also have a tighter fit than traditional loose Crocs, which supports enhanced movement – think trail running or river crossings without fear of a shoe flying off. With plenty of color options to choose from and a super unique look, these Crocs alternatives will be the shining star of your summer shoe rotation. Material: EVA, Bloom Performance Foam | Sizes: 6 – 15 | Colors Available: 21 While Adidas is well known for their slides, their lesser known alternatives is worthy of a bit of hype. These sneaker-style clogs are visibly inspired by Crocs, covered with ventilation ports and a contoured footbed. Staying true to the Adidas brand with the signature three stripes, these alternatives will rack up compliments anywhere you sport them. The major downside to these slip ons is they lack a backstrap, which means they’re best for casual use rather than anything sporty. That said, they’ll be front and center on any beach trip and are great for travel, too, considering how lightweight they are. If you’re looking for an alternative or something more supportive than classic Adidas slides, these are a funky option worth considering. Material: Synthetics, EVA | Sizes: 4 – 13 | Colors Available: 10 This alternative is a little different, which is a large part of why we love it. With a more sandal-focused design, these alternatives forgo the backstrap but make up for it with extra ventilation. In addition to the circular ports dotting the top, these slides (or men’s slippers) also have a cushioned strap design to help water drain more effectively and increase the airflow within the shoe. An excellent choice if you’re looking for a rugged alternative, these shoes are lightweight with a sturdy outsole and plenty of structure. Some reviewers state that they’re not as comfortable as Crocs but are much more “substantial,” especially if you’re looking for heavier wear. Ideal for kicking around the campsite, there’s odor protection built into the soles to keep the shoes stink free even after a long day on the trail. Material: EVA | Sizes: 7 – 14 | Colors Available: 4 Chaco is no stranger to the outdoor footwear game. The brand has been pumping out tactical sandals since the late ‘80s, and though the classic model is opened toed, the Chaco Chillos Clog is a break from the norm. Designed in a Croc style, these alternatives are some of the highest quality on the market. They look pretty similar to Crocs with the ventilation ports on the top of the foot (they’re even compatible with Jibbitz) but feature a slightly wider fit. Plus, instead of the swiveling backstrap, these Chaco clogs opt for an adjustable band, which in turn makes the shoes more secure on your feet. Ideal for biking, light hiking, and general summer adventures, these are one of the best Crocs alternatives and will easily replace your Birkenstocks, too. Material: EVA, Polyester Webbing | Sizes: 7 – 14 | Colors Available: 5 leftfootsg / Instagram What to Look For in Crocs Alternatives Size & Fit One of the most important considerations when looking for alternatives is the size and fit. In general, Crocs tend to run slightly large and pretty wide, so if you’re used to the classic Crocs fit, it’s worth finding an alternative that has similar sizing. However, you’ll quickly find that the best Crocs alternatives come in all shapes and sizes. It’s worth consulting the specific sizing chart and reading reviews to know what you’re getting when it comes to the fit of the shoe. As barebone basics, if you’re looking for a shoe to hang around in, a wider, looser fit is typically a great option. But if you’re seeking a shoe for more rugged use, you may want to consider something more form fitting that will stay on your feet while on the move. Material Composition Material is also a prime consideration as this majorly drives the comfort of the shoe. While Crocs are made from the brand’s signature Croslite foam, you’ll find alternatives in a wide range of compositions. More often than not, alternatives are made from a mix of rubber and EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) foam. The rubber construction contributes to the waterproof upper of the shoes, while softer EVA often makes up the footbed and sole, driving comfort. EVA and rubber are pretty durable, but this varies from shoe to shoe. The one upside to purchasing authentic Crocs is they’re made from a dependable and long lasting material. The honest truth is that some alternatives use cheaper foam that doesn’t hold up as well. Quality Finally, there’s no talking about Crocs alternatives without touching on quality. As someone who has owned both genuine Crocs and alternatives, I’ll be the first to admit that the real shoe wins in the quality department almost every time. In fact, there was a period when I bought a pair of alternatives for myself and real Crocs for my boyfriend. Both pairs saw the same amount of use, and by the time my alternatives were falling apart, my boyfriend’s Crocs were still going strong. There’s something to be said about the quality of Crocs – yes, you can destroy them, but it definitely takes a while to get to that point. Not all alternatives can take a beating quite like the real thing. However, there are certain brands that do measure up in the quality department, like Birkenstock, Chacos, and Dansko. Though you’ll quickly realize that with increased quality comes increased prices. In the world of the best alternatives, it’s safe to say you get what you pay for. merrell / Instagram Final Verdict So where does that leave us in terms of the best Crocs alternative? I still hold firm that the Lusso Cloud Scenario Slides are worthy contenders in the comfort, quality, and function department. But if you’re looking for an alternative to save a few bucks, you can’t go wrong with the Beister Non Slip Clogs. FAQ There are numerous reasons why Crocs are really worth it: a long lifespan, abundant sizes, plenty of colors, and of course, Jibbitz charms. However, if you can’t justify $50 for a pair of rubber sandals (or simply hate how they look), you’ll find plenty of worthy Crocs alternatives in a range of prices and footwear styles. Crocs has made major waves with its sustainability in recent years, namely in reducing the brand’s carbon footprint. That said, you’ll discover lots of brands using recycled materials and sustainable practices in their production, like Lusso, Chaco and Birkenstock. Additionally, the Dansko Kane clogs on this list are made with 50% bio-based materials.

Things to Take For Your Mountain Climbing Safaris in Uganda!

Tourism is one of the exciting outdoor activities; mountain climbing is one of the fascinating ways to explore nature's beauty with Uganda benefiting from the spectacular mountain terrain. Mountain climbing safaris in Uganda range from the Rwenzori Mountains: glaciers and peaks to Mount Elgon which is a volcanic mountain. It was the most adventurous and gave me unforgettable memories. But, to make this a safe and fun climb some amount of preparation is required. In this blog, we will know what you need to take for your best Mountain Climbing Safaris in Uganda!

1. Climbing Gear

For any hiking, especially mountain climbing, the right gear is very essential. Be sure to pack:

● Hiking boots which are Non-slip rugged shoes for hiking and the like.

● Walking sticks/Trekking poles for support or to ease the pressure you put on your joints.

● Gloves and gaiters to warm hands and protect them from the cold and hard surfaces of paths.

Some of the many Uganda mountain trails also have rocky paths or icy patches; make sure that your equipment is suitable for such areas.

2. For all Weather Apparel

The climatic conditions in Uganda, mainly the mountain areas, can fluctuate, that is, it gets very cold as one climbs up the hills. Pack layers such as:

● Warmer clothes to wear when you are up on high-altitude terrain.

● Trousers and a waterproof jacket to protect you from rainfall during trekking or hiking.

● Floppy sun hats and UV-protection Clothing for brightly lit days.

3. Navigation and communication equipment:

Although you may always have someone who will be guiding you during your Uganda jungle safari it is wise to have a map, compass, or better still a GPS. A charged mobile phone and a power bank are also required for calling someone and controlling emergencies.

4. Food and Water Supplies

Drinking water and having energy are always important when climbing. Bring:

● Such foods as nuts, energy bars, and dry fruits are relative examples of foods that are considered high-energy-density foods.

● A water bottle or hydration pack to ensure the hiker remains well hydrated the entire time.

● Water purification tablets for filling from natural sources of water.

5. First Aid Kit

A compact first-aid kit should include:

● The items include bandages, antiseptics, and painkillers.

● Prescriptions for mountain ailments, particularly those that are common with high altitude hikes such as those in the Rwenzori.

● Specialized use of footwear for protection of the feet.

6. Camping Essentials

For multi-day climbs, pack camping gear, including:

● Carry a mat and a small tent that is as light as it can be.

● Headlights or flashlights with spare batteries.

● A cooking stove if no meals are being offered.

7. Camera and Binoculars

The objective here would be to record or capture Uganda’s stunning landscape, as well as the wildlife. For the same, binoculars come in handy in identifying birds and animals during your Uganda jungle safari.

Conclusion

Prepare well to maximize the benefits that come with mountain climbing safaris in Uganda. Uganda has several features, including spectacular landscapes and several species of animals which make it unique in Africa. When packing these necessary items with a reliable tour company, then you can guarantee yourself a safe, comfortable, and fun trip. So come and prepare to experience a rush of adventure while enjoying Uganda’s other extreme mountain terrains!
