With the summer season comes the allure of the great outdoors. The Canadian wilderness has beauty to be discovered in all seasons, however the summer months truly flourish with nature and wildlife.

Hiking and/or camping are great ways to experience this beauty for yourself. Perhaps unsurprisingly, your regular street footwear is not well suited for the task. Hiking shoes offer better durability, traction, and flexibility than your average shoe.

Quality hiking shoes are breathable, have a supportive and comfortable footbed, as well as a durable and gripping sole. Depending on where you’re traveling, waterproofing may also be important. For a summer hike, consider a light and airy ankle shoe. If the weather is going to be particularly hot, a specialized hiking shoe will offer greater comfort than an all-season hiking boot.
