These boots are made for walking?
Selecting the right footwear for your adventure is the first step in protecting from pain;
Low Cut Hiking Shoes
For a mixed terrain trail of both flat and hilled land a low ankle cut hiking shoe is ideal as it provides adequate mobility while being far lighter than the average hiking boot. The lightweight choice of footwear allows for a faster pace and the use of more breathable materials which will limit blisters as perspiration can easily breakout. Note that for longer hikes opting for leather ankle overlay will allow for more support in holding your foot in place and help to prevent low ankle sores and blisters.
Hiking Boots
With extra grip and sturdy ankle support, a good heavy boot will be your best friend for long term trek. The higher ankle support will avoid twisted ankles while Gore-Tex inner lining gives foot fitting comfort all hike long. This versatile pick is ideal for the trailblazers among us.
