Question: Which hiking shoe is best when one must swim and cross streams as well as go over rocky areas?
I will be hiking in Maui, and some of the hikes involve walking across or through streams, and swimming to get to the next part of the trail. I don’t want to switch shoes out, because it would be a hassle to keep one pair of shoes dry. I feel comfortable spending around $ 100 if needed, because I don’t want any blisters or sore feet while on vacation! Can you recommend a shoe for me?

Question: What are good running shoes for hiking as well?
I am going hiking/walking on trail terrain and I noticed that I really don’t have any running shoes or shoes for this as well. Can someone advise me to which shoes are very comfortable for running but can also be used a few times without strain for hiking/trails? Oh and by running shoes I mean for women. Thank you!

I have a pair of New Balance All Terrain running shoes that are great for that. They are not so good for intense running on treadmills or pavement however. Good luck and Happy Trails
