Hiking is a most enjoyable form of activity but only if one is appropriately dressed for it. One of the most critical components of the attire for this sport is footwear.
The Right Fit
There will be lots to choose from as there are many different manufacturers of all types of boots. The first thing to consider is size. If hiking boots don’t fit properly, then this can lead to real problems. It won’t be long before blisters form. Or if they are too tight, it will be painful to walk in them
. If they are too big, they could affect the grip, which could cause the hiker to lose their footing.
Best Time to Try on Boots
As the day progresses, most people experience a little swelling in their feet. This is the best time to try on hiking boots. Chances are the swelling will occur quicker when walking.
Wear the Right Socks
Whichever socks are going to be worn for hiking should also be worn when trying on the boots.
Break in the Boots
Once the appropriate boots are chosen, it is wise to break them in before the actual hiking adventure.
