Frequently Asked Questions
What hiking boot brands does Jesse Brown's Outdoors carry?
We carry a wide selection of hiking boots and trail shoes from Salomon, Oboz, Merrell, and Vasque. Whether you need a lightweight trail runner for day hikes or a burly waterproof boot for multi-day backpacking, our staff can help you find the right fit.
What is the best hiking footwear for trails in North Carolina?
For most NC trails, a mid-cut waterproof hiking boot or trail runner works well. Salomon and Oboz are popular choices for their durability and traction on the rocky, rooted terrain common in the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains. For wetter conditions, waterproof membranes like Gore-Tex are worth the investment.
Does Jesse Brown's carry sandals and casual outdoor footwear?
Yes — we carry a great selection of sandals and casual outdoor footwear from Chaco, Olukai, and Hari Mari. These brands are perfect for warm-weather adventures, river days, and everyday wear around Charlotte.

Yes. As one of Charlotte's premier fly fishing outfitters, we carry wading boots and wading footwear from Simms and other top brands. Our fly fishing staff can help you select the right sole type (rubber vs. felt) for the rivers you plan to fish.
