Wearing waterproof, grippy hiking sneakers for rainy days has been my long-term shoe hack. I’ll wear a rain boot if I must. That’s to say I’ll do it if it’s coming down hard, and I need protection as high up as it can go. I’ll wear a snow boot when it’s actually snowing and a hiking boot when I’m actually hiking. But if I’m just going to work? Grabbing lunch? Want to wear a normal outfit and shoes? A sneaker built for tougher terrain is where it’s at.
I invite you to do the same. Thanks to the cultural movement gorpcore (it’s not dead TikTok and high-fashion just moved on), brands are making hiking sneakers that look cool in urban environments. Salomon’s XT-6 were the original example. But now you have the Adidas Terrex line, a new model from Arc’teryx, and all sorts of cottage outdoors-fashion options. No matter where you pick from, one of these 11 best hiking sneakers will serve you well.
Terrex Skychaser
Adidas outdoor Terrex line made this Skychaser, a lightweight, low-profile sneaker that you can be certain we’d wear with a hoodie and favorite pair of wider leg pants on a rainy day. The GORE-TEX membrane won’t steer you wrong in terms of moisture repellency.
Price: $160.00 at adidas.com
Norvan LD 4 Shoe
All fashion eyes have been Arc’teryx lately, but the brand keeps its head down and does what it does best: great outdoor gear. These sneakers are more streamlined than a lot of outdoor sneakers tend to be, with lower cushioning and a snug-fitting upper.
Price: $170.00 at arcteryx.com
Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes
Nike’s Pegasus sneaker is a favorite for all types of runners, and the Gore-Tex version is great for running in wet weather as well as just walking in it. These are a favorite for rainy day athleisure outfits.
Price: $170.00 at nike.com
Hoka Stinson 7
Hoka’s Stinson brings that beloved Hoka cushion into a sneaker that has a ton of grip, thanks to the multi-directional lugs. They have a great balance of softness and traction, though they aren’t waterproof.
Price: $170.00 at hoka.com
Cornaro Rubber-Trimmed Suede Sneakers
If someone asks for a stylish hiking anything, I’m sending them to Diemme. These are a sneaker-y version of the brand’s classic boot, done up in a wax-coated, water-resistant leather. If the traditional hiking sneaker is too casual for you, this is an excellent upgrade.
Price: $470.00 at mrporter.com
XT-6 Trail Running Shoes
Salomon’s XT-6 just keeps on delivering. They’re lightweight, waterproof, and have an easy quick-lace design.
“The XT-6 is built for performance, sure, but it also happens to be built to downright electrify your vibe,” says our style director, Jonathan Evans. “Taken out of the context of trail running, it becomes a piece that can work with any fit, whether your personal style leans more low-key (try it with washed-out jeans, a boxy tee, and a light jacket for an advanced riff on normcore) or more fashion-forward (cropped black trousers, a crisp white shirt, and an oversized black blazer sounds just right).”

Trailgrip Low Top Sneakers
Moncler’s Trailgrip sneaker is the absolute pinnacle of function and fashion. They are actually quite functional, with a dramatic, lugged Vibram outsole and water-repellent mesh. But the chunky design and suede strips are signature Moncler.

Cloudrock Waterproof Low Shoes
On’s Cloudrock sneakers are super comfortable and totally waterproof. They’re great for wearing to the gym, on errands, or actually on a trail. We particularly like the protective toe cap and TPU mudguard.
Price: $179.99 at dickssportinggoods.com
Glenclyffe Urban Low
The North Face’s Glenclyffe sneaker is a great alternative to other hype-y, gorpcore shoes. These are stylish with the contrasting protective mudguard but they have flown mostly under the radar.
Price: $135.00 at endclothing.com
Glacier Trail Sneakers
If I were to buy a single casual hiking sneaker and not want to buy another for years to come, it’d be Canada Goose’s Glacier. The brand has a minimal shoe department, but we like what they make. These are virtually indestructible: waterproof, treaded rubber outsole, cord-lock drawstring. They’re breathable enough to wear year round but, like any Canada Goose item, can most certainly survive winter, ice, and snow.
Price: $450.00 at shopbop.com
Panorama Low
If the true trail sneakers just aren’t hitting for you, we love Danner’s low shoes as a kind of sneaker-boot hybrid. Mereka sangat nyaman, tahan lama, dan terasa lebih substansial daripada sesuatu seperti sepatu lari yang tahan air. Tentu saja, jika Anda mencari sepatu bot, Danner Mountain Light adalah favorit yang terus-menerus.
