7 Best Hiking Shoes Available In Wide 2E/4E in 2023

How we test hiking shoes

Before assigning all the pairs of wide hiking shoes their overall ratings, we put each model to the wringer. That means taking the footwear on a series of off-road adventures, covering 30+ miles for each pair across easy, medium, and tougher terrains.

Our method includes the following:

• Putting in the hours, energy, and our own resources to purchase the wide hiking shoes across a variety of brands in the market. This ensures the 100% honesty and objectivity of our reviews.
• Clocking up solid miles field-testing each pair of shoes on the trails. We specifically check and double-check the shoes’ actual fit, breathability, outsole traction, heel protection, waterproofness, and durability, among others.
• Subjecting the shoes further to tougher terrains, murky paths, and inclement weather conditions.
• Collecting additional data from testimonials given by outdoor experts and regular hiking aficionados.

In the end, we give each pair of wide hiking shoes its final ratings based on the data above. Ranging from 0 to 100, you’ll see which models get the highest-rated marks as reflected on our CoreScore system.
