What's the difference between hiking boots and walking shoes?
Walking shoes are similar to hiking shoes in terms of efficiency, but lower on the ankle. They offer the same rigidity and protection as a hiking boot, but with a lighter feel.
Why size up?
Your feet swell during exercise, so it's best to go one size bigger than your usual shoe size.
Which shoe is right for hiking?
High-shaft shoes are ideal for long hikes and treks, since fatigue can sometimes cause you to take the wrong step: whatever happens, the upper will hold your foot and ankle securely. The medium upper: the most versatile.
How do you know if a shoe fits?
Run a finger along the back of the foot, between the shoe and the heel: if it sinks in very easily, or if there's any space left, the pair is too big. Put on both shoes and walk quickly: they should stay firmly in place.
How much do hiking boots weigh?
A normal "Mid" hiking boot weighs around 1100 g/pair, a low " trail " weighs around 700 g/pair, i.e. a difference of 400 g/pair... or 200 g per foot... so if you're looking to lighten up, look more at what's in your backpack...
How long does a hiking boot last?
The lifespan of a shoe for a regular hiker varies between 2 and 5 years. In terms of distance, a pair of classic hiking boots can cover around 5,000 km. A pair of trekking or mountain boots can cover distances of up to 8,000 km.
