Best hiking shoes

For those who already have lots of hiking trips lined up for the summer, we've reviewed several hiking shoes that will be reliable day in and day out. We test each of these in the lab so you can be confident in your strides wherever you might take them. The summer hiking shoes we've reviewed includes those that are neutral and for overpronation, those that are for day hiking or speed hiking, and even those that are high-cut and mid-cut.
