Which boots should you wear for hiking, the forest and travel?
Finntrail hiking boots for the outdoors are made for hiking, picking mushrooms, camping and long trips. The membrane models keep your feet dry in dewy grass and through puddles, while the draining STREAM shoes let you cross a stream and dry quickly. For hiking forest trails with a backpack, the high cut ENVIRONMENT 5180 or DEFENDER 5173 suits most people best.
How to choose, who they are not for, and FAQ
Who they are for
- •Mushroom pickers who walk for hours over dewy moss and stumps: the high cut supports the ankle, and the membrane keeps moisture out.
- •A hike of several days with a heavy backpack: DEFENDER 5173 has rubber reinforced toes and heel, and a gusseted tongue that keeps sand out.
- •Camping by a river and water hikes: STREAM 5177 and 5205 drain water through openings in the sole and grip firmly on wet rocks.
- •Travel, when you take just one pair: the low cut membrane OUTDOOR 5178 suits both city streets and forest trails.
How to choose
Think about where you will take most of your steps: in a damp forest, on a rocky trail, in water or in town. All models except STREAM and LIGHTWAVE have a HARD-TEX membrane.
Activity What to choose Models Foraging and a damp forest A high cut with ankle support and a deep tread for wet roots. WAYSIDE is the best ventilated thanks to mesh, ENVIRONMENT has a reinforced heel and an EVA midsole. WAYSIDE 5179, ENVIRONMENT 5180 A long hike with a backpack over uneven ground DEFENDER with synthetic suede, Oxford fabric and rubber toe and heel guards. TRACTIONMID with a cushioning insole and an abrasion resistant upper for a long way. DEFENDER 5173, TRACTIONMID 5191 Travel and an easy trail Low cut membrane shoes with a Phylon midsole and an anatomical insole: for town, the park and forest trails. OUTDOOR 5178 A stream, the shore, a water hike No membrane: water drains through openings in the sole, TPU reinforcements protect against rocks, and a quick lacing system. STREAM 5177, STREAM 5205 A hot summer day A mesh upper ventilates your foot, and a reinforced toe protects your toes. No protection from rain. LIGHTWAVE 5188 What these boots are not for
- •A bog or a flooded meadow where the water comes above the boot top. Then choose rubber boots.
- •A winter outing through deep snow and cold. Most of these models are made for three seasons, so for the cold choose warm boots with a removable inner boot.
- •A rainy day in the STREAM and LIGHTWAVE shoes: without a membrane, water will seep through the upper.
Frequently asked questions
Which hiking boots should I wear for mushroom picking?
Choose the high cut membrane WAYSIDE 5179 or ENVIRONMENT 5180: they support your ankle on roots and stumps, and the membrane keeps out the dew. If your mushroom spot is boggy and you wade through puddles, rubber boots are more comfortable.
Can I keep walking after wading a stream in STREAM?
Yes, that is what STREAM 5177 and 5205 are made for: water drains through openings in the sole, and the upper dries quickly. Your socks will stay damp for a while, so take a spare pair on a longer hike.
How does DEFENDER differ from WAYSIDE?
DEFENDER 5173 is sturdier: a synthetic suede and Oxford fabric upper, rubber reinforced toes and heel, and a gusseted tongue against sand. WAYSIDE 5179 is lighter and better ventilated thanks to mesh, so it is more comfortable on a warm day.
Which pair should I take on a trip if only one will fit?
Choose the low cut membrane OUTDOOR 5178: they are light, with a HARD-TEX membrane and a deep tread, so they suit both town and a rainy forest trail. For uneven ground with a heavy backpack, a high cut is more reliable.
Why is it worth choosing the LIGHTWAVE size more carefully?
The maker states that LIGHTWAVE 5188 runs slightly small, so if you are between two sizes, choose the larger one. Sizes run from 41 to 46, and you can exchange boots that do not fit within 30 days.
