Hiking Boots Checklist
 |
Ankle Support is Everything! Hiking shoes are nice for flat terrain, trail running, walks in your local park, etc...But, a hiking shoe provides no ankle support whatsoever. This is why for hiking on trails in rough terrain, you must have a boot that gives you solid ankle support. |
|
Make Sure It's Waterproof. If you're going to get a hiking boot, it's rather stupid to get one that isn't waterproof. Waterproof boots come in handy for stream crossings, walking in muddy terrain and for unfortunate times when you're caught out in the rain. I've also found waterproof boots tend to have a higher-grade of construction, too. |
|
Backpacking Boot or Day Hiking Boot? This depends on your needs, really. For backpacking (with a pack weight of 40+ pounds), you really do want a backpacking boot as they provide solid ankle support, despite the weight of the pack. For day hiking and light backpacking, however, a day hiking boot will be your best choice...as they are more comfortable and lighter. |
|
Light Boots = Happy Feet. Every pound on your feet equates to five pounds on your pack...at least after hiking after a long distance. Thus, try to get as light of boot as possible...your feet and legs will thank you for it the next time you tromp up a long hill. |
|
Leather or Fabric? This is a personal choice...there is no "one" right answer. I personally prefer fabric, as I find the boots are lighter, easier to take care of and more comfortable (they also don't have the "break in" period that leather boots do). But, there is nothing wrong with leather day hiking boots, either. |
|
Don't Forget the Hiking Sock! Hiking in cotton socks is the #1 way to get blisters. If you plan on hiking, absolutely get some hiking socks...unless you enjoy blisters. |
|
Break In Those Boots! Before heading out on a long hike, break in your boots by wearing them around the house, town or on short walks. Even fabric boots "loosen up" a bit and become more comfortable as you wear them. And, for leather boots, is is imperative that you break them in. |
