10 Best Hiking Boots for Women UK 2024 | Berghaus, Adidas and More

The soles of these shoes are breathable and anti-microbial. This means that they not only get rid of excess moisture, but they also stop your shoes from smelling bad, which is wonderful news if you plan on spending day after day in your shoes on a hike. 

These shoes can easily be used on multiple different terrains, and their modern look hints at the modern technology used to make these boots comfortable and odour-free. They're also made from synthetic materials, making them a great option for vegans and vegetarians.

Starting at a 3 and going all the way up to a 9, including half sizes, the range of sizes that this boot comes in is a big positive, which anyone with smaller or bigger feet can attest to. 

The neutral brown colour won't be a problem if you find yourself walking through a muddy patch and the joining of suede and synthetic fabric to make the shoe's outer layer means you get the best of both – and all for a very reasonable price, too. 

These shoes, from Adidas, do a great job of bridging the gap between sportswear and walking boots. They fall somewhere in the middle, casual enough that they look good but they will still keep your feet warm and dry on a hike.

These hiking boots are perfect for if you enjoy a stroll now and then over some tougher terrain, while also wanting something a little more fashionable for general wear. There's also a choice of six different designs to choose from!

While it is essential that your boots are completely waterproof, it is also vital that they remain breathable. This means they let out sweat and excess moisture that you don't want in your shoe, without letting any external moisture in. 

Luckily, these shoes have that problem sorted. The Gore-Tex fabric is designed for just that, so your feet will stay as dry as a bone. You'll also feel steady on your feet with the deep tread of the sole.  

Comfort is the name of the game when it comes to these hiking shoes. The soles are reinforced with gel to add a spring to your step and maximise your power per stride. All the materials have been treated so they don't just keep water and dirt out of your shoes, they repel it. 

Fortunately, focusing on comfort hasn't led to any style being sacrificed and the combination of the suede and other synthetic materials works perfectly. These boots manage to be soft and sturdy enough for the harshest environments.

This shoe is considerably lighter than most other options on this list, and that's thanks to some clever weight-saving techniques that Danner have managed to perfect. Inspired by the Pacific Crest Trail, this shoe has versatility built into it, so whatever terrain you find yourself on, these shoes will cope. 

Whilst these shoes thrive on different terrain, they might struggle in harsh weather conditions without the protection of ankle support. Heavy rain and mud will be harder to keep out as these hiking boots function more as a replacement for trainers.

This hiking boot uses the style of a more modern shoe and pairs it with leather, which would usually appear on a more traditional design. This means that it has all the positives of leather (its strength and durability, for example) and blends that with the lightness and comfort of a newer boot. 

The shock-absorbing sole will protect your joints as you walk, meaning you can keep going for longer. Although half sizes are available, the main thing that lets these shoes down is that you can only find them in women's 4-8.

These shoes, although small and lightweight, are ready for whatever might be thrown at them, including rain. They will also work brilliantly when it's hot and sunny due to them being more open than other, more boot-like, designs. 

The lack of ankle support does make them lighter and cooler on your feet, but this might be an issue for those who prefer their hiking shoes to have more structure. You will be able to secure your feet in place with the laces, but they might not stay in quite as well. 

Designed to be used in the cold Northwest Territories in Canada, these boots will keep your feet warm during the chilliest months. They, unlike most shoes on this list, are covered all over in leather and this gives them a lovely, traditional look. Considering the fact they are leather, they also manage to be good value. 

These boots do have the drawbacks that lots of boots with an outer layer made entirely of leather might have. They might be uncomfortable at the start, and this isn't helped by how solid and bulky they could feel on your feet. 

With brown leather all over, this hiking boot really takes it back to basics. The design may look simple and traditional, but these boots have a few new tricks up their sleeves. The outer is breathable, allowing the moisture to get out, but it remains 100% waterproof.

However, this leather outer, whilst hard-wearing, might be a bit too tough on some people's feet. The size range of this boot is also limited, so they are not accessible to everyone in this respect, too.
