Hiking sandals: comfortable and safe on any underground
In summer and on warm, dry days in autumn and spring, you don't necessarily need tightly closed outdoor shoes. Comfortable hiking sandals, also known as hiking sandals, are much lighter and airier.
Hiking sandals are much more stable and robust than classic sandals, which are available for leisure use. They have a non-slip sole with a good profile, which gives you a firm grip on any terrain and prevents you from slipping. Depending on the model, your toes are protected in hiking sandals and they offer your feet stable support at all times thanks to a comfortable footbed, preventing premature signs of fatigue.
At Transa, you'll find a variety of different hiking sandals (e.g. clogs, leather sandals) that you can wear on your next tour through forests and mountains. Simply choose the pair that best suits your activity - now the shoe just needs to fit your foot
perfectly and off you go.
Hiking sandals: light, airy and robust
With hiking sandals, you are travelling in light but safe footwear. To ensure that the sandals meet the requirements of an outdoor tour, they should fulfil the following requirements.
You can recognise good hiking sandals by these features:
- They are very light and fit comfortably on the foot.
- The material is very robust and durable.
- An anatomically shaped footbed supports your natural foot shape and prevents premature signs of fatigue on long tours.
- A toe cap at the front provides effective protection against injuries.
- Thanks to a robust, high-quality sole with a good profile, you won't slip easily, even on difficult underground surfaces. The sole is nevertheless flexible and follows your every movement when walking.
- Practical fasteners (e.g. quick lacing system or velcro) allow you to put your trekking shoes on and take them off quickly and easily. You can also customise some models to your foot height using adjustable straps.
- There are trekking shoes for hiking and trekking tours that are made from leather or synthetic leather, or waterproof versions that can be worn in water.
- The waterproof models are particularly fast-drying and ideal if you are often out and about in the water or on rainy days.
- Leather models can be made more durable with regular impregnation.
- Some sandals have an anti-bacterial mesh lining, which means your shoes won't smell unpleasant even after long tours.
- Many models can simply be washed in the washing machine, while others can only be brushed off. Pay attention to the manufacturer's specific care instructions here.
