5 Stylish Hiking Boots

Urban appropriation of practical clothing is nothing new. From plaid shirts to cosy cable-knit sweaters, women have long harbored a subconscious desire to wear things that identify with the great outdoors.Footwear is no different. Sneakers made the short walk from the sports field to the high street decades ago. Now hiking boots are experiencing a similar transition, descending from snowy peaks and windswept moors to become a mainstay of many a lady’s wardrobe.

Below, we’ve picked our favorite examples. Clearly, some have been designed with appearance rather than practicality in mind, but there are also some that are tailor-made for serious trekking. So, whether you’re a committed hiker or a fair-weather city stroller, invest in the pair that appeals most, and use them however you see fit.
