11 Supportive, Sporty Sandals You Can Hike In

When we think of hiking sandals, we think of Tevas. The brand is known for comfortable, athletic sandals that can withstand all kinds of terrain. These Teva Original Universal ($55) sandals are the classics, and they come in dozens of colors. Yes, the white will get dirty easily, but walking in the creek will clean them up in no time.

Sometimes, you need a shoe with a closed toe. These Hoka One One Hopara Sandals ($135) are lightweight but so cushioned, as has become customary with all Hoka shoes. They've got a neoprene and synthetic upper that offers lots of flexibility and breathability, and they're great shoes if you want to be in sandals but are worried about stubbing your toe.

If you want a sporty sandal that both looks good and performs well, the Teva Hurricane Drift Sandal ($40) may be the one for you. It's a minimally designed shoe that comes in a bunch of muted, neutral colors, and it's super comfortable. This shoe is great for hiking but also everyday wear, with one customer saying, "These shoes are the most durable, comfortable shoes you could ever invest in. From daily at home wear, to running errands, to hiking in them, using them as river shoes, these shoes will not disappoint. Extremely comfortable and worth every penny."

If you need lots of support, go with this The North Face Skeena Sport Sandal ($75). Each of the straps is maintained with foam for extra comfort, which is essential for long days hiking or walking. Plus, it's made with a footbed that has antislip technology, which is essential.

If you want a sandal that's more lightweight and easy to move with, you need these Nike Vista Sandals ($55). Not only is the pink adorable, they've also got good heel and ankle support, so you can feel good climbing. Customers say these run small, so consider ordering one size up.

If you're going to be hiking by the water this summer, these rubber Birkenstock Arizona Eva Waterproof Sandals ($50) are essential. They're comfortable and affordable, and they have a lot of POPSUGAR fans. These might not be the sandals to wear for your 10-mile hikes, but they've got a surprising amount of traction, and if you like to be as minimal as possible, these are the shoes to grab.

If you are looking for outdoor sandals but aren't quite sure about the concept yet, try buying a shoe that won't break the bank. We like these affordable All in Motion Isla Sport Sandals ($30). They're comfortable and lightweight, and they come in both black and white. Plus, they're made with recycled materials.

Keep your toes covered while still wearing waterproof sandals, thanks to these Keen Water Shoes ($120). If you're looking for great stability and sandals built for the water, these are a great choice. Plus, they're comfortable and easily adjustable, so you can use them on hikes and while doing water activities.

If you want a sporty sandal with a few pops of color, try this Teva x Cotopaxi Universal Sandal ($60). It's comfortable and easy to wear, and it looks great with all kinds of hiking gear. Plus, it's vegan, created using synthetic and plant-based materials. If you're in between sizing, the company recommends sizing down for a slightly more snug fit.

If you need extra cushioning, we'd recommend these Nike Oneonta Sandals ($65). They've got a few adjustable straps that help ensure a perfect fit, and the thick foam sole is great for hiking all day. Plus, they're super durable, and customers say they run true to size.

If you want shoes with lots of support and straps, you need these Teva Hurricane Verge Sandals ($80). The water-resistant webbing dries quickly and is made from recycled materials, which we can always get behind. They're also made of antimicrobial fabric that's meant to help with odor control, so if you're going on a long hiking trip, these may be a great option.
