It almost depends on what area of the country you are living/hiking in. For wet areas I recommend leather boots with Gore-tex. I hike daily for my job as a forester and boots are the most important things I own. I am a big fan of the brand Vasque, but also like Merril and Montrail. You need comfort, support, and traction. I recommend going to an outdoors store and trying on a few pairs to get the right sizing and to find a model that feels the best to you. Then if you'd like find them online, sometimes they can be found cheaper. Just for your information the best hiking sandal I have found is Chaco. I am completely in love with them.

New Balance are the ones I reccomend from running daily in the army, but it depends on the type of support you need.  Make sure you get the correct one for your arch.

Comfort, cushioning, support, the ability to move in them. if they weigh your feet down, whats the point?\n\nAlso, style doesn't hurt.

A six mile hike is really no big deal, but you are prone to getting blisters in your feet, here's a recomendation from a Marine medic; wear thin silk socks, then thicker cotton socks directly over them. This will keep the soles of your feet from sliding around creating friction which is a cause for blisters. This is not a fool proof method, but it kept my feet blister-free during 12-30 mile hikes.

I like Diesels.  Mine have a nice knobbly sole, a wide toe reinforced with rubber, and they are very comfortable.  Stylish, too, for both women and men.

It depends on your foot shape and structure. Your best bet would be to go to a good running store and ask the person who works their. I personally prefer Sacony's, although they are a little bit heavier then other shoes they offer more padding for the front half of the foot and have a wide base.

Actually I heard they arent that great. If you really want them go try them on.  I bought a pair of Nike Hurrache Elites and they are prolly the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned.

The Adidas shoe which has a microchip in it.\n\nIt is priced a bit high for a shoe because it changes its cushioning for different uses.

Look into Earth Shoes with the reverse Khalso sole. They tip you heel down and toes up and put you in a back aligning stance. They come with two sets of arch insoles. You can find them online and REI carries some of them. They were my saving grace and they are sort of cute. They are about $100-$175 at the most.

Your best bet is my favorite online retailer for shoes--Zappos.com.\n\nI wear a (gulp)17E, and it is the only place I have ever found that maintains a respectable selection of all kinds of shoes in my size.\n\nPlus they ship free and I don't have to pay them sales tax.\n\nCheck them out:

Well, i'd go to a specialty running shoe store. I've ran with brooks for distance, and they're really good.
