Frequently Asked Questions
What women's hiking boots does Jesse Brown's Outdoors carry?
We carry a curated selection of women's hiking boots and trail shoes from top outdoor brands including Salomon, Oboz, Keen, and Merrell. Our staff can help you find the right boot for your terrain — whether you're day hiking in Pisgah National Forest, backpacking the Art Loeb Trail, or exploring the trails of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
What is the best women's hiking boot for North Carolina trails?
For NC trails, we recommend a mid-cut waterproof hiking boot with good ankle support and a grippy outsole. Salomon and Oboz are staff favorites for their durability and fit. For lighter day hikes, a trail runner like the Salomon Speedcross offers excellent traction and comfort. Stop by our Charlotte store and our staff will help you find the right fit for your foot shape and trail style.
Does Jesse Brown's carry women's wading boots for fly fishing?
Yes — we carry women's wading boots from Simms and other top fly fishing brands. Proper wading boot fit is critical for safety and comfort on the water. Our staff can help you choose between rubber and felt soles based on the rivers you plan to fish in the Carolinas.
What women's casual and lifestyle shoes does Jesse Brown's carry?
Beyond technical footwear, we carry women's casual shoes and boots that transition seamlessly from trail to town. Our selection includes versatile options that pair well with outdoor apparel from Patagonia, Kuhl, and other brands we carry — perfect for Charlotte's active lifestyle.
How do I find the right size in women's hiking boots?
Hiking boot sizing can vary by brand and last shape. As a general rule, we recommend going up a half size from your street shoe size to allow room for thicker socks and toe splay on descents. Our staff in Charlotte can measure your foot and help you find the right fit in-store. For online orders, check each brand's size chart and feel free to reach out — we're happy to advise before you buy.
What socks should I wear with hiking boots?
We recommend merino wool hiking socks for most conditions — they regulate temperature, resist odor, and provide cushioning without bulk. Brands like Darn Tough and Feetures offer excellent options. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture and can cause blisters on longer hikes. Our staff can help you find the right sock weight and height for your boot and activity.
