Las 7 Mejores Botas De Senderismo Para Hombres del 2024

The Merrell Moab 3 Mid GTX offers comfort and steady confidence in our hikes through its balanced cushioning, light build, and grippy base. Our lab agrees it’s a stable shoe with some give in the right areas. Because of all these and more, it’s our best hiking boot for men.

The shoe offers secured strides without feeling too intrusive. Our sliced midsole shows a stiff nylon shank in the midfoot section, explaining why it feels hard to twist in our manual test. We rated it a high 4/5 torsional rigidity, which helps in preventing ankle collapse.

Despite its stability, agility is not compromised thanks to its light and flexible build, perfect for men who still want some natural feel. Our scales show the boot is only 17.5 oz (495g), 7.5% lighter than average. Bending our feet feels easy since the midsole flows with our feet. Our flex test confirms it’s a whopping 32.9% more adaptive than average. Plus, the cushioning feels much more comfortable than its 32.8 HA reading suggests because of a small 24.6 HA foam beneath our heels.

The outsole is made of the stellar Vibram rubber with its traction enhanced by the deep 5.0 mm lugs, giving us the control we need to cross safely. Although we can’t recommend this boot for soft terrain like mud. Male hikers who frequent these trails should find more aggressive lugs.

Challenging terrains and slippery slopes have no match against the Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid GTX’s super sticky outsole, which is why it’s our men’s hiking shoe with the best grip. Beyond that, it rides like a trail shoe, perfect for male hikers who value agility. Plus, our lab reveals its highly stable base even when loaded.

Starting from the bottom, we measured the deep lugs to be 4.5 mm, providing optimal traction even on loose ground or wet rocks. The midsole includes the stiff chassis in the midfoot and the Active Support system, which boosts our control on demanding trails. It includes straps interconnected with the laces to prevent ankle collapse, making it highly suitable for men who need extra support.

Its nimbleness stems from its low weight and flexible build, smoothening our transitions and pushing us forward, almost as if we wanted to run. Our scale proves it’s only 13.3 oz (378g), 29.3% lighter than the average hiking boot. We could adapt quickly on any surface because of the flexible forefoot. Our bend test confirms our observations by showing the midsole is 36.7% more adaptive than the average hiking boot.

The boot has a Quicklace system that’s easy to work with. However, a tiny nitpick is how we had to tuck the shoestrings often. Male hikers who prefer a seamless experience can try another pair.

We love how we breezed through the trails because of Hoka Anacapa Mid GTX’s refreshing ride. Our lab confirms its light and flexible build, while surprisingly maintaining stability and plush comfort. Our feet truly thanked us for its excellent impact protection, making it our top cushioned hiking boot for men.

We measured the stack height to be at 36.7/26.1 mm, with the forefoot having 3.5 mm extra foam vs. average. Our durometer confirms its delicate sensation, measuring 19.1% softer than average. The heel has an extended geometry that promotes gentler landings and smoother transitions. Its unique design also contributes to a sense of surefootedness.

The shoe surprisingly feels weightless for its height, making it suitable for men who want to pick up the pace. Our scales reveal a mere 15.4 oz (436g) build, 18.5% lighter than average. Plus, its flexibility adds to our agile feel. Our bend test confirms it’s 28.6% more adaptive than average, allowing us to quickly adapt to various surfaces with the help of the Vibram outsole underfoot and its deep 4.7 mm lugs.

While the ride feels generally stable, we recommend a sturdier boot for men who carry heavy backpacks for better support.

Many hiking boots feel supportive but the Salomon Quest 4 GTX takes stability to the next level. Through outdoor adventures, we found it perfect for men who need a rugged and unshakeable boot. Our lab shows it has a sturdy upper, stiff construction, and beefy lugs that make it our ultimate backpacking hiking boot for men.

The upper consists of robust materials such as Nubuck leather, tough textiles, and a beefy toe bumper. It shielded us from unwanted hazards, defending our feet fiercely in our Dremel test and earning the highest 5/5 durability score.

The midsole features the innovative ADV-C 4D Chassis, a stabilizer that holds our heel and ankle in place. Our attempts to pinch the heel and twist the midsole had no effect. Both earned the highest 5/5 rigidity rating, confirming the system’s effectiveness. We felt secure with our balance, which decreased fatigue over long and challenging hikes. The boot also features a steep 18.0 mm drop that relieves pressure off our lower legs, perfect for men with Achilles or calf issues.

The Contagrip outsole emerged with a harder-than-average 88.3 HC rating. It has toothy 4.7 mm lugs that kept us steady as we crossed slippery slopes and loose ground. However, all Quest 4 GTX’s protective elements made it a heavyweight champion at 23.4 oz (663g). Men seeking a natural feel should find another boot.

The Adidas Terrex Free Hiker 2 offers such a freeing experience that we can’t help but fly through the trails. Our lab confirms its airy nature, in terms of weight and ventilation, making it our best lightweight hiking boot for men. Its comfort is further enhanced by the plush and responsive midsole that’s supported by a durable outsole, making each outdoor adventure a joy to be in.

We instantly forgot about this boot as soon as we started walking. Our scales confirm it’s only 15.0 oz (425g), 20.6% lighter than average. Its seamless ventilation adds to its effortless feel like the wind is literally beneath our feet. Our smoke test confirms its exceptional breathability with a 5/5 rating, perfect for men who want airflow to avoid sweat buildup.

Each transition feels silky smooth thanks to the rockered midsole. The cushioning feels very pleasant, evidenced by its 15.4 HA durometer rating, 44.6% softer than average. It even gives a delightful rebound that makes the ride more exciting.

The Continental outsole offers reliable traction without compromising durability. With barely any signs of wear after testing, we tested it further using our Dremel. It emerged victorious, showing only an insignificant 0.2 mm dent, promising longevity.

However, we recommend breaking the boot in to enjoy the features it offers. Men who want comfort out-of-the-box should find another pair.

The Hoka Kaha 2 GTX goes all out in making us feel at home. Our lab tests show that from its cushioned yet supportive midsole, spacious base, and excellent waterproofing, it ensures an easygoing experience without compromising safety. Among men’s hiking boots we’ve tested, it offers superior comfort.

The foam beneath our feet is a thick 39.3/28.2 mm, offering plenty of impact protection and relief from fatigue so that we can cover any distance. Our sliced midsole shows two foam densities: a plush 21.7 HA foam for comfort and a firmer carrier 31.6 HA foam so that the boot doesn’t bottom out under heavy loads, highly suitable for men with loaded backpacks.

The wide base ensures a well-planted sensation. At 117.0/106.1 mm, the midsole has more ground contact than average, enhancing stability. Amazingly, the boot never burdened our feet despite its above-average measurements, weighing only 18.5 oz (525g).

We tested the boot and splashed through water but we came out dry each time. In addition to the Gore-Tex membrane, the upper features an airtight nubuck leather. Even smoke couldn’t escape in our lab test, earning a 1/5 breathability score.

The only time we didn’t feel comfortable was the knot's unpleasant pressure on the shin when lacing up fully. The tongue runs short so we recommend wearing thicker socks or finding another shoe if this is a dealbreaker.

The Scarpa Terra GTX graced our excursions with such a reassuring presence. From its protective leather, solid ankle support, and reliable Vibram outsole, it supported us on any terrain and shielded us even in the coldest weather. Our lab tests confirm its airtight and durable upper, making it our best leather hiking boot for men.

The leather is as tough as men, keeping our feet safe from all types of hazards. Its waterproof nature kept our feet dry and warm, evidenced by its low 1/5 breathability rating in our lab test. With no ventilation holes whatsoever, it fought our Dremel fiercely and earned a well-deserved 5/5 toebox durability.

The sturdy upper is complemented by a stiff TPU shank in the midsole that establishes a firm foothold and stabilizes our strides. We tried twisting the midsole, which was very challenging to do and awarded it a 5/5 torsional rigidity score. This stiffness gave us the confidence to never question our steps because this boot would support us.

The Vibram outsole maintained our control on various surfaces. It has chunky 4.0 mm lugs that give us the power to brake as needed and bite wet ground as needed. It’s also highly protective against underfoot debris, evidenced by its high 90.5 HC durometer reading, indicating its toughness.

However, its midsole is firm too. Men seeking plush comfort should find another boot.
