For that free feeling on the trail, we like the lightweight and comfortable Adidas Terrex Free Hiker 2 GTX. This trail shoe puts comfort first with flexible, step-in collars, BOOST foam midsoles, and soft outsoles for plenty of cushion on trails, gravel, and forest service roads. The Continental rubber outsoles give us tire-like traction while the waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane lets us hike through puddles, dew, and swampy tracks.
