If 2022 is the year you want to get back out into nature and enjoy some wilderness walks, now is the time to invest in the perfect piece of footwear. If you’re after something that can handle the outdoors in style and be just as at home in the tap room after for a craft beer or two, you’ll want to check out our pick of 6 of the best men’s hiker sneakers for outdoor adventures below:


Lems Primal Pursuit | $130

The Primal Pursuit from Lems is a best-of-both-worlds mashup of the beloved Primal 2, a lightweight everyday shoe, and the Trailhead, a rugged workhorse purpose built for the great outdoors. The result is a cushiony, supportive, and great-looking shoe that’s just as fit for knocking out a trail run as it is for meeting some buds for a drink.


Vans Ultrarange EXO HI MTE -1 | $130

From quality to comfort, the Vans UltraRange collection goes above and beyond the call of duty, allowing you to feel light on your feet and well-protected at all times. The EXO HI MTE-1 has the kind of performance upgrades that let it stand up to any hard journey and stay comfy the whole way.


Veja Roraima | $195

Veja’s raw materials come from ecological agriculture and processed without polluting chemicals. They have layered in stellar classic design to create a line of sneakers that are, by all accounts, better the rest. The Roraima is a classic high-top sneaker with some hardwearing upgrades—including a nubuck leather upper and hiking-boot-style metal eyelets.


Naglev Unico Hiker | $230

The Unico is billed as “outdoor multisport footwear,” and we couldn’t agree more here at The Coolector. The six generations of shoemaking knowledge that went into this striking shoe show in the materials, details, and function, each carefully considered and integrated into the footwear in a way that unites the form and function seamlessly and effortlessly.


ROA Lhamu | $95

The Lhamu from ROA is a low-pro walking and hiking shoe that slips-on easy and won’t slip off the trail courtesy of its rugged Vibram sole. It’s stripped down to the essentials to keep you light on your feet on city walks and hillside hikes.


Lems Trailhead Sneakers | $135

Lems latest Trailhead shoe can handle your needs whatever they may be — they’re built for biking, hiking, errand running, and anything in between. The retro-inspired aesthetic, highly cushioned midsole, and ultra-grip outsole all come together for a complete piece of footwear that checks every box and looks great doing it.
