Look for a pair that is well-fitted and airy. A well-fitted pair of shoes provides you the security of stepping ahead freely without compromising fun. The open perforations in this selection of footwear will not hold you back from feeling the sand between your toes.

Wear a cushioned pair of sneakers with good support. The toebox of the shoes should have enough room for your toes to wriggle freely. However, not so much that your feet end up sliding around the shoes. These well-rounded pair will fit all outfits, so you won’t have to worry about overpacking.
(Tip: Buy your shoes at the end of the day as the longer you are on your feet, the more they swell, so it is also when you’ll find the best fit considering how much walking you’ll be doing on a city exploration type of trip.)

Get a durable and supportive pair. Good hiking shoes need to provide sufficient stability and comfort. Importantly, the soles of these shoes should have deep grooves and threading. If you are going on a long-distance hike, ensure it is also lightweight and flexible. The rougher the terrain to overcome, the more support the shoe needs to offer and the stiffer it needs to be.

The feature of water repellent material and the non-slip sole is the key to keep the shoe long-lasting and you safe. The pair preferably should have a slightly higher cut, keeping your ankles warm and free from snow. If you are going to be surrounded by heaps of snow, the Adidas one might be a better pair for you because of the deeper traction pattern.
