Women's Hiking & Trail Running Shoes

Trail shoes for women need to do more than look good on a shelf. They need to grip on loose terrain, protect your feet over rocky ground, and stay comfortable long enough to actually finish the hike or run you had in mind. At Tradehome Shoes, this collection covers the range of women's trail shoes and trail running shoes worth considering, with options from HOKA, On, Altra, Mount to Coast, and Ecco across hiking-focused and trail running-ready styles.

What Will You Find in This Collection?

This is a focused collection of women's trail shoes built for outdoor movement across a range of terrain types and use cases.

• Women's trail running shoes for everything from light singletrack to technical mountain routes
• Athletic hiking shoes built for day hikes, weekend trips, and mixed terrain
• Waterproof trail shoes from HOKA and On with GORE-TEX construction for wet conditions and unpredictable weather
• Trail running shoes that double as hiking shoes for women who want one versatile pair that handles both
• Zero drop and wide toe box styles from Altra for women who prefer a more natural foot position on trail
• Road-to-trail hybrid styles from On and Mount to Coast for women who cover both surfaces regularly
• Sandal options from Ecco for warmer conditions and water crossings

How Do You Choose the Right Women's Trail Shoe?

The best trail shoe depends on the terrain you cover and how you plan to move through it. A few things worth thinking through:

• For hiking and day hikes on maintained trails, a shoe with good grip, some cushioning, and a protective upper is usually enough. The HOKA Challenger and HOKA Transport are reliable starting points for this kind of use.
• For trail running and faster efforts on technical terrain, look for a lower profile with a grippy outsole and a secure upper that keeps your foot locked in through turns and descents. On's Cloudsurfer Trail 2 and Altra's Lone Peak 9 are both worth considering here.
• For waterproof trail shoes, HOKA and On both offer GORE-TEX versions of several models in this collection. If you run or hike in wet conditions regularly, the waterproofing pays for itself quickly. Browse our women's waterproof shoes page for additional options.
• For women who want trail running shoes that also work for hiking, the Mount to Coast H1 and On Cloudhorizon 2 are both hybrid-friendly options that hold up across surfaces.
• For wide feet or a foot-shaped toe box, Altra builds all of their trail shoes on a wider last with zero drop construction, which works well for women who have had trouble with fit in more traditional trail shoes. Our wide shoes for women page has additional options across brands.
