Best hiking shoes

This is where you can find all the reviews of day hiking shoes we published. We went hiking in these shoes and we also tore them apart in our lab. Thanks to such an approach, we're able to elaborate on what each shoe is best used for, how durable it is, and what type of terrain it sticks to.
