Salomon Women’s X-Ultra Pioneer Mid Climasalomon Waterproof Hiking Boots

The Salomon X-Ultra Pioneer Mid Climasalomon Waterproof Hiking Boots (it’s a mouthful, we know) are ranked in the top 10 on Amazon’s list of best-selling women’s hiking boots, and for good reason. Their waterproof membrane prevents moisture from seeping inside, while the brand’s signature Mud Contagrip outsoles ensure that you won’t slip, even on the slickest of surfaces.

Columbia Women’s Redmond V2 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots

These affordable Columbia hiking boots with nearly 1,000 five-star ratings may work great on sunny days, but they’re specifically designed for “prolonged exposure,” according to the brand, to rain and snow. And, although they’re waterproof and made of 100 percent leather, they’re relatively lightweight, making them great for warm-weather hikes. They also have breathable mesh panels, so there’s no need to worry about athlete’s feet. What’s more, shoppers assure that they’re well-tractioned and comfortable enough to walk in all day.

One customer shared, “These are the best hiking boots I’ve owned. They are true to size, wear well, hold up under different terrains, and don’t make your feet hurt.”

Columbia Women’s Newton Ridge Waterproof Hiking Boots

With more than 19,350 five-star ratings, it’s easy to see why the Columbia Newton Ridge Waterproof Hiking Boots are ranked number one on Amazon’s best-selling women’s hiking boots list. They come in 19 different colors (price varies), and are one of the best options for someone who doesn’t want to spend weeks breaking in their boots — which is thanks to their cushioned and supportive midsoles that are designed to deliver high energy return to put an extra pep in your step (and minimize fatigue on long treks).   

“These were *chef’s kiss.* No breaking in needed, nothing sore, no blisters, pure contentment to hike for miles in various weather conditions,” a shopper was happy to report, adding that they wore the boots straight out of the box for five consecutive days of hiking in Zion National Park.

Keen Women’s Terradora 2 Waterproof Mid Height Hiking Boots

The Keen Women’s Terradora 2 Waterproof Mid Height Hiking Boots are also available in more than a dozen colors, but unlike most boots on this list, they’re not made of leather. Instead, they’re made of textile and synthetic materials. Still, they’re 100 percent waterproof, and they do boast a dual-density EVA footbed, so your feet have the arch support they need (and deserve) on even the toughest of terrains. And, they’re versatile; reviewers highlighted that they make excellent running shoes on the trails. 

“I love these boots,” an Amazon shopper exclaimed. “They’re comfortable right out of the gate. There’s plenty of toe space, great ankle support, good traction, water resistant, good arch support, and they’re not overly hot. Also, they’re great looking boots; they’re not heavy or clunky. What more could you ask for in a pair of boots?”

“I bought these to hike in Utah’s mighty five national parks. The ankle support is amazing, they’re very comfortable and waterproof. The grip on the soles of the shoes was very good for hiking, even on the more extreme trails,” according to one reviewer. Their only regret? Not buying a pair for their daughter.

Merrell Women’s Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots

It’s rare not to encounter at least one person sporting a pair of Merrell hiking boots on the trail, and that’s because their comfort and durability are unmatched. This is especially true for the Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots, which are up to 29 percent off right now. Their waterproof exterior is strategically sealed to prevent moisture from getting in, whether you’ve stepped in a puddle or are trying to cross a creek. But, more importantly, their breathable interior quickly wicks away sweat so you can be comfortable throughout your trek. Hikers seeking additional support will enjoy the boots’ contoured foam insoles and reinforced cushioning in the heels, which helps absorb shock and boost stability. 

“These are the best hiking boots I have owned.” That’s the beginning of a five-star review left by an assistant scoutmaster, who logs lots of miles on the trails with their troop. They also described these boots as “sturdy, lightweight, comfortable, and well-made.”
