Editors' Picks: Must-Have Fitness Gear For July

For months, I slipped and stumbled on day hikes in everyday tennis shoes, and now I get what everyone was talking about — I needed a pair of proper hiking shoes. I did my research and test-drove a few pairs, and I've been nothing but thrilled since settling on these Merrell Moab Waterproof Shoes ($130). Waterproof, ankle-stabilizing, and surprisingly comfortable, they've changed my relationship with the trail. If you're planning on spending time hiking this Summer, follow my lead and invest in a pair of quality shoes. You won't regret it!
