Barefoot shoes for hiking?

Barfußschuhe zum Wandern?

Are barefoot shoes suitable for hiking? Our customer support is frequently asked this question and the answer is very clear: Yes!

However, some basic aspects of hiking in barefoot shoes must be observed, which we go into in more detail here. With this information you should easily find your perfect barefoot shoe for the next hiking tour.

Barefoot shoes for hiking: important to know

To choose the right couple of barefoot shoes for the next hike, you should ask yourself the following questions in advance:

How long have you hiked in barefoot shoes?

It is quite normal for your feet to tire faster when you switch from normal shoes to barefoot shoes. Significantly more muscles are used and that initially costs more energy and strength. If you are not yet used to walking in barefoot shoes for a long time, you should first plan short tours and observe the next points.

How long does the hike take?

How long will the next hiking tour take? Slight shoes with medium grip are sufficient for a short, rather undemanding tour. For example, you can put on our barefoot sneakers. Our outdoor sandals Qlear are also a good choice in summer. If you plan a multi -day hiking tour with a heavy backpack, the barefoot shoe should ensure sufficient stability and grip. Here our barefoot hiking shoes or hiking boots are the better choice.

How is the hiking area?

The nature of the hiking area is even more important than the length of the hiking tour. Do you run on dry, well -fastened terrain? Or do you have to adjust to a wide variety of conditions such as sand, mud, wet roots, slippery rocks or even snow? Depending on the level of difficulty of the hiking area, you have the choice between our light everyday barefoot shoes, our robust hiking shoes and our stable hiking boots.

How is the weather during the hike?

Another very important consideration is the weather during the hiking tour. Can it happen that it rains or even snowing? Then you should rely on our barefoot hiking shoes or hiking boots because they give you more grip and slip resistance. It is best to choose a waterproof model. If you run through dry, desert -like areas, the breathability of the barefoot shoe plays a larger role. Depending on the terrain, our barefoot sandals could be the optimal choice.

Barefoot hiking boots

Our hiking boots offer you significantly more stability and protection, without having to do without comfort. Due to the high cut, you have more stability in the ankle area and are better protected against insect bites, scratches or cuts. Our hiking boots are therefore also suitable for long hiking tours through demanding terrain.
