Hiking footwear: discover how to choose!

Footwear is essential. The first question to ask yourself is: what kind of use will your footwear need to be suited to? Different shoes offer different levels of flexibility of the sole and different fit. Low-cut trekking shoes offer freedom of movement and are lightweight. They’re suitable for a range of use and on easy routes in both mountain and urban environments. On the other hand, they don’t offer good ankle protection: if the ground is uneven, full hiking boots are best.
