Okay, this is a seriously comfy hiking boot. Super lightweight with an extra-plush midsole and bold styling, this may be a beautiful-looking boot, but potentially loses some ground on trails compared to more focused options.

Best women's lightweight hiking boots for speed hiking

If you do not care about budget and you are looking for a super stylish and performing lightweight boot for your hikes, this shoe is made for you. I would not recommend them for pure backpackers who plan to go for huge journeys through very long trails or crossings, which will take more than 2-3 days. You'd better opt for a more traditional hiking boot with much more overall support to help you carry heavier loads on your back.

The Altra Lone Peak Hiker is a versatile hiking shoe that won't disappoint when used for day hiking or walks around the town. It has a more rugged look than the Lone Peak 5.0 and it is suitable for hikers who prefer lightness more than ankle support. It is perfect for outdoorsy individuals who like traveling urban and backcountry distances with a light pack in tow.
