Guide: Hiking Shoes

Hiking doesn't mean you have to climb a mountain or go far away. We at Icebug make hiking shoes for what we think is the very best form of hiking: the excursions you can do daily and in your local area. For example, hiking with the family, walking the dog, the light backpack, or a basket of mushrooms.

With this guide, we hope to make it easier for you to find the right hiking shoes.

Rover 2 RB9X GTX
  • RB9X™ non-studded traction rubber

  • BOA® Fit System

  • Waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane

  • Comfortable last and roomy toe box

Rover has been our absolute most popular hiking shoe for several years, with thousands of users. With the help of these Rover users, Icebug has developed a long-awaited sequel: Rover 2 RB9X GTX.

Lighter, more comfortable, and more durable - but with the grip that made Rover the best choice for the forest!

Rover Mid RB9X GTX
  • RB9X™ non-studded traction rubber

  • Waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane

  • BOA® Fit System.

  • Mid-cut support and protection

Rover Mid RB9X GTX is a mid-cut variant of Rover RB9X GTX. The higher shaft protects your ankle while you also keep Rover's awesome grip, waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, BOA Fit System, and a light and comfortable feel.

Rover Mid is made for speed hiking, adventurous walks or just everyday life - in all kinds of weather and terrain types. The outsole pattern is designed to grip in mud as well as on rocks and together with the RB9X™ rubber compound it provides superb traction even on both dry and wet surfaces.

Larvik Hemp Biosole
