Great pair of hiking shoes to get into hiking!
Review: Salomon X Ultra 4 GTX review
One of my favorites! If you’re on a trail with a lot of rivers/water these are perfect for the hike.
Men's Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots
A more affordable option for starter hiking shoes. Not incredible for moderate/hard hikes but will get the job done for any easy one!
Terrex Tracefinder Shoes
Great for outdoor runners! Solid for light/moderate trails and affordable.
New Balance Men's, MT410V8 Trail Running Shoe
Backpacks
Very reliable hiking backpack! Room for everything you need and great for carrying poles/helmets if you have any!
Talon 22 - Men's Ventilated, Lightweight Multi-Sport Backpack
A bigger backpack, it can be used for both hiking and everyday use! It’s very durable and simple. Will always get the job done!
Refugio Daypack 26L
Hydration specific so you do not have to carry a water bottle around. Not great if you have a ton of storage but is practical for hydration!

Super reliable, will work on any trail or any hike. Great backpack!
