Good footwear for Hiking
Your entire journey stands and falls with your hiking Shoes. Even for the beginner, it pays to invest in a clever pair of hiking shoes, because with poorly fitting shoes you will never find joy in hiking or trekking. A good hiking shoe not only ensures a bubble-free time, it also prevents injuries, especially in the ankle area.
When you’re hiking trails that are well maintained and easy, get lightweight, ankle-high hiking shoes For more rugged terrain (intermediate rated trails; Mountain Footpath, red) get mid-weight trekking boots that offer more protection and support. When you typically go hiking or backpacking in an Alpine environment that’s rugged, steep and exposed, and may involve some challenging, off-trail hiking along difficult rated trails (Mountain Footpath, black), get heavy-duty mountaineering boots of the semi-rigid variety that are usable with walking crampons. The extra height and stiffness of these boots provides an extra dose of traction and helps support the climber in steep and rocky terrain.
