Breathable and Light

By CA gal Ranked #374 - Women's Hiking Shoes May 28, 2009

I've only bought 1 other pair of hiking boots in my life and they were really heavy from Big 5. Instead, I usually hike in my Merrell Chameleon, but wanted something waterproof. I haven't hiked in water yet with my Chacos, but they are really light, breathable, and with good arch support (although I still put in my own insoles since I'm flat-footed). Only thing is that my ankle was a little sore at the end of a 12 mile hike possibly because the shoe stops right above my ankle.. perhaps I need to wear thicker socks. I'm usually a 7.5 in sneakers since I have wide feet. I bought a 7 in Chacos and they are a little tight, but I didn't get any blisters. I'm hoping they'll stretch out.
