I'm an Outdoor Gear Expert, and These Are the Only Wide-foot Hiking Shoes Worth Packing-From $58

"There's nothing worse than hitting the trail with hiking shoes that don't fit properly. Rubbing turns into hotspots, and before you know it, you're doctoring painful blisters instead of soaking in the fall foliage. After working as an outdoor gear outfitter for years, I know how difficult it can be for folks with wide feet to find comfy shoes among a sea of narrow boots. I've heard the horror stories, and I'm here to help."

"It should come as no surprise that our pick for the best overall hiking boot offers a great fit to hikers of all shapes and sizes. Merrell's Moab 3 is one of my immediate answers when anyone asks me for hiking boot recommendations due to their cushioned footbed, sticky Vibram rubber soles, and durable leather construction. They're already pretty roomy in the standard width, so the wide option fits most wide feet well."

Wide feet require high-volume footwear to prevent hotspots and painful blisters while hiking. Merrell Moab 3 Mid Waterproof provides a cushioned footbed, sticky Vibram rubber soles, durable leather construction, and a roomy fit in wide sizing; consider going up a half size for extra room. Columbia Crestwood offers a budget-friendly option with a lightweight suede-and-mesh upper that balances durability and breathability, and a height between a shoe and a boot. High-volume footwear options include bonus toe room, wide sizing choices, and rugged extra-wide boots to accommodate different foot shapes and keep hikers comfortable on trails.
