The right shoe can make or break a day outside. Our footwear range is built for people who move across mixed terrain — from everyday walks and hill days in Eryri (Snowdonia) to trail running, scrambling approaches and long-distance use where comfort really matters.
You’ll find walking shoes, trail running shoes, approach shoes and hybrid outdoor footwear from brands including Hoka, Altra, Salomon, Merrell, Inov-8, Topo, Dolomite, Hanwag and NNormal. Some styles prioritise cushioning and comfort for longer distances, others focus on grip, stability and precision on rough ground. Waterproof options are useful for wet grass, muddy trails and changeable mountain weather, while non-waterproof shoes often dry faster and feel more breathable in warmer conditions.
If you don’t want a boot over your ankle, low-cut footwear can be a great choice — especially for faster movement, lighter packs and better freedom through the foot. Trail shoes are often chosen for softer ground and technical running, while walking shoes suit day hikes, travel and general hill use. Approach-style shoes offer extra confidence on rocky terrain and steeper mountain paths.
At Crib Goch Outdoor, we help people choose shoes for real UK conditions every day. Whether you need a grippy walking shoe for Snowdon, a trail running shoe for muddy Welsh trails, or a wide-fitting option for longer days on your feet, browse the range below and use the filters to narrow things down by activity, fit and terrain.
