There are some hikes that just call for a sandal. Say it's the middle of summer and you can't stand the feeling of a damp, sweaty sock sticking to your foot inside of your sneaker. Or say you're going on uneven terrain and might run into a flowing river or waterfall and you don't want your sneaker-clad foot to be drenched. Either occasion—and many more—calls for a hiking sandal: something lightweight yet secure, guiding you with ease through all of life's adventures.

Every man has different tastes, but of the seven best hiking sandals below, there's certainly something for everybody. There are sandals that are basically sneakers but better (lighter and more water-repellent) from Hoka and Keen. There are sporty sandals that can take on any terrain from Nike and Adidas. And then there are sandals so damn comfortable you'll wear them all the time, even when you aren't hiking—you can find those from Ecco, Teva, and Birkenstock.

What are you waiting for? Plan that hike, pack that bag, and get out there—just make sure you have a pair of these hiking sandals first.

Hopara 2

You trust Hoka for all of your athletic footwear needs, so why not your sandals, too? These are a modern, contemporary take on the sandal, because they're kind of a sneaker hybrid, too. Nonetheless, they're lightweight and easy to slip-on, with efficiency that'll guide you through both land and water.

Tatacoa Sandals

When it's time to step out of your leisure sandals and into your hiking ones, swap your Arizonas out for the Tatacoa. These feature Birkenstock's signature anatomically shaped footbed for support, with adjustable straps to keep your foot secure throughout all terrain.

Air Deschutz+ Sandals

Of course, the athletic giant that makes some of the dopest sporty shoes and lifestyle kicks on the market has a great pair of hiking sandals, too. Inspired by '90s sandals, these are built to take you anywhere, no matter the terrain—the quick-dry outer and plushy footbed ensure you'll be comfy all the way.

Newport H2 Sandals

Protective, comfortable, lightweight, and adjustable—seriously, what more could you want from a hiking sandal? These are an infallible pick, with quick-dry webbing, a lack-lock bungee system for navigating tricky terrain, and anti-odor technology.

Yucatan Sport Sandals

This is a pair that gets the job done, and looks good doing it. With leather details, this sporty shoe is ideal not only for hikes, but for any outdoorsy adventure, thanks to the lightweight feel, adjustable hook-and-loop straps, and shock-absorbing rubber soles.

Hudson Sandals

Teva has grown a cult-like following for its infallibly durable sandals, and this is definitely one of them. The Hudson features adjustable straps at the toes, the top of your foot, and the ankle, so you're secure even on uneven terrain—especially with that grippy rubber sole with a stabilizing shank.

Terrex Hydroterra Sandals

Adidas does sporty to perfection—just look at these sandals. They're super-secure yet ultra-lightweight, with adjustable straps, a contoured footbed with a heel wall to ensure your foot doesn't slip, and a traxion rubber outsole.
