Has this ever happened to you? You watch your friends head off into the mountains on an adventure-filled hike, while you’re left back at camp in your can’t-get-a-grip sneakers…all because you’ve got size 13 feet.
Well, dry those oversize tears my friend.
Now, you can go wherever nature may take you with our large-size trail shoes for women and large-size shoes for men.
But before you jump in and buy the first pair that catches your natural sensibilities, you still have to think before you buy. Because while certain other big-pawed creatures might be able to handle the terrain au natural, our feet need a little more protection against rocks and the elements.
Here’s a few great hiking shoes in large sizes for your day or weekend hike.
For men, the Merrell Moab Mid GORE-TEX® XCR® is perfect for a variety of trail types – from neighborhood parks to national parks. Available up to a size 15, this boot is big enough to tackle any challenge you put up to it…and the GORE-TEX® waterproof lining and Vibram® outsole with braking lugs will ensure you make it back in one piece (always a plus in my book).
Or try on the extra wide, extra big New Balance 977GT for guys who like a little more stability. Rollbar® technology keeps your ankle from going where you don’t want, while the Rock Stop™ plate smoothes out rocky terrain.
For our female friends, the New Balance 1500GT keeps feet up to a size 13 comfortable rain or shine. It’s a Backpacker magazine editor’s choice, and with GORE-TEX® and lace-locking hardware, it’s pretty easy to see why.
With extended sizes, outdoor shoes for big feet are no longer as elusive as, well, Bigfoot. And might I say, a tad better looking. Though, like our big furry friend, when you discover their comfort, you probably won’t stand still for a picture either.
