hiking sandals

Rugged open-toed shoes

Hiking sandals are open-toed footwear designed for outdoor walking and light trail use.

They combine the ventilation and freedom of sandals with sturdier soles, toe protection, and secure straps suited to rugged terrain: I prefer hiking sandals for river crossings.

They sacrifice the ankle support of hiking boots for breathability in warm conditions.
