I need a new pair of hiking shoes. I've worn almost all the tread off my old Timberland's, and after checking online, it appears that the brand doesn't make a similar style anymore. Currently and in the near future, I won't be doing any extended hikes as most of hiking includes our almost six year old daughter. I won't just use sneakers as I'm not the most graceful (all right I'm downright uncoordinated), and I'm a bit heights phobic which includes any steeper hills.
I'm a woman, but not opposed to buying men's shoes - especially for something as utilitarian as hiking shoes. I have fairly large feet at size 10/11 and wide width sometimes.
I'm hoping to order a pair from zappos as I can return them for free if they don't fit. I have no problem ordering several pairs and returning all but the final pair.
