function : they’re great hiking shoes. trails are muddy, wet, slippery and unpredictable — the glacier trails are built to combat these elements. they’re also going to be a solid choice during transition seasons. though they’re not intended to protect feet from the cold, their thick rubber soles and waterproof exterior will prove valuable heading into and out of winter. the sneakers are breathable, making them great for day-to-day wear. however, they’re bulkier than your average “sneaker.”

fit : the shoe is nice and roomy, which is great for comfort and for adding thick (or multiple) socks, if you wish you wear them in cooler temperatures. the laces wrap around the shoe, making it easy to adjust to the wearer’s foot. i tested the high tops, which have zippers that are also waterproof. i find them most comfortable when they’re not zipped up all the way up.
fashion : the low sneakers have a similar silhouette to traditional sneakers, but look uniquely canada goose. the brand’s shoes tend to have a bold thick sole and thoughtful details. the midsole has a “shape inspired by wind-blown snow drifts,” and the bottom of the shoe is a nod to the maple leaf.
recommendation : if you love to hike and are looking for a durable shoe, the glacier trail are a strong option. they don’t look like a traditional trail shoe, so when you wear them in a city or around town, you don’t look like you’re a lost hiker.
