Women's Walking Boots

Sort By:

There are many reasons to buy women’s walking boots. New camping trips, hikes, treks, and climbs require the right kit. Uneven and diverse terrain require sturdier boots with support, cushioning, traction, and flexion to absorb impacts. Consider the types of activities the boots will be used for, and the climates where the boots will be worn, as colder, wetter pursuits require insulation and waterproofing. There are different styles of boots made for different activities, so it's important to choose the right one. 

 

Our women’s walking boots are designed to provide durable comfort, traction and support on your treks and hikes. Built from tough, innovative and often waterproof materials, such as Gore-Tex, walking boots can handle almost any type of terrain and conditions, so you can go the distance. 

 

Alternatively, our women's mid-boots are a great choice for a variety of occasions. Built for adventure, mid-boots are designed for all terrains and elements, and styled to also suit formal and casual events. Whether you're looking for a new pair of shoes to wear to work or you're searching for the perfect pair for your outdoor pursuits, women's mid-boots will have you covered. 

 

Braving the wetter more blistery conditions on your adventures? Women's waterproof boots are built to withstand the rigours of the most demanding environments while still providing the comfort and support that women need. From hiking and backpacking to rain and snow, women's waterproof boots are the perfect choice when you need reliable protection from the elements.

Women’s boots should fit snugly with a thumb’s width between toes and the boot end. Ensure heels stay locked to prevent blisters and toes have wiggle room. Use thicker socks for accurate sizing and check for no tightness at the ball of the foot. Brands like Grisport offer narrower heels and wider toe boxes for female foot shapes.

Prioritise ankle support (mid/high-cut designs), waterproof membranes (e.g., GORE-TEX®), and sturdy outsoles (e.g., Vibram). Look for gusseted tongues to block debris and padded collars for comfort. Lightweight synthetic uppers suit warm weather, while leather offers durability for rugged terrain. Avoid non-breathable liners for summer hikes.

  • Lowland trails: Flexible, lightweight boots with breathable uppers (e.g., Salomon Quest 4 GTX).
  • Mountainous terrain: Rigid, high-cut boots with Vibram soles for grip and ankle stability.
  • Wet conditions: Waterproof membranes and sealed seams (e.g., models with DWR coatings).

Waterproof boots (e.g., GORE-TEX®-lined) are essential for wet climates but reduce breathability. For dry/hot conditions, opt for mesh uppers without liners. Pair with gaiters for added protection. Note: Waterproofing requires reproofing every 6-12 months.

  • Remove the insole: Stand on it - your foot shouldn’t overlap.
  • Walk downhill: Check for toe-jamming.
  • Lace tightly: Heels shouldn’t lift, and eyelets shouldn’t touch. Visit Cotswold Outdoor stores for expert fitting and adjustable footbeds.
