This page will show you side by side comparison charts of the top products in the 3 main categories (these charts are updates every two months to keep the info fresh):
- best hiking and trekking boots (separate sections for men and women)
- best hiking and trekking shoes (separate sections for men and women)
- best hiking and trekking sandals (again, separate sections for men and women)
Why did we make this page in the first place?
Because our visitors asked us to would the short answer.
Most of our visitors seek information to help them choose the right pair of footwear for hiking or trekking but, generally speaking, two types of people visit our website:
- those with time on their hands and the patience to read through the reviews
- those who just want the result of our extensive reviews and most importantly, the Overall Rating that pretty much sums our whole process of reviewing the products
This page is for the later and it made as concise and as simple as possible.
