Where to Buy Hiking Shoes in Gran Canaria
Forgot your hiking shoes at home? Or maybe you arrived all excited to tackle Roque Nublo, only to realise your old pair isn’t going to survive another kilometre? No worries. Gran Canaria has plenty of places where you can pick up good hiking or trail-running shoes before hitting the trails.
Below you’ll find clear, community-tested recommendations plus a simple tip at the end that might save you money and keep your feet happy.
🥾 Why You’ll Want the Right Shoes
Gran Canaria’s terrain changes a lot: smooth coastal paths, rocky ridges, dusty climbs, and sometimes slippery volcanic gravel. A decent shoe makes all the difference in comfort and safety. Luckily, you don’t need to search far to find solid options.
🛍️ Where to Buy Hiking or Trail Shoes in Gran Canaria
🏬 Decathlon
Reliable, budget-friendly, and with a wide selection of both hiking and trail shoes. If you want something practical without overthinking it, start here.
🏬 Laister Gran Canaria
A long-time favourite with locals and expats. Friendly staff, English spoken, and they really know footwear. Great for personalised advice.
🏬 Running Proyect Canarias
Another excellent spot if you want guidance from people who understand both running and hiking terrain on the island. Good for technical models and proper fitting.
🏬 Nike Factory Store – Las Terrazas (Telde)
Outlet pricing and occasional great deals on trail-running shoes. You can sometimes walk out with a solid pair for under €60.
🏬 ASICS Store – Las Terrazas (Telde)
Right next to the Nike outlet. Worth checking if you prefer ASICS or want to try different models before choosing.
🏬 El Corte Inglés
More traditional department-store selection, usually higher-end brands. Ideal if you want variety and prefer trying multiple models in one place.
All of these shops are good options. The choice really depends on your preference, budget and whether you want expert advice or a quick buy.
💡 Lifehack: Consider Trail Running Shoes
Trail runners are lighter, cheaper, and surprisingly perfect for most hikes in Gran Canaria. Unless you’re doing heavy backpacking or very technical mountain routes, trail shoes give you great grip, comfort and versatility. Many hikers here actually prefer them over traditional boots.
Happy hiking! And if you test a new shop or find a great deal, let us know so we can keep the guide fresh.
