Choosing Ladies Hiking Boots!

In this article we are going to look at choosing the right pair of hiking boots from a Women’s perspective. Dependent on their intended use either serious hiking, long distance hiking, light walking or just the daily dog walk.

Now we are going to look at the three main things to consider when purchasing ladies hiking boots

  • The Weight of the boots is a key factor when choosing the correct hiking boots for your needs. This is important because you do not want to drag your feet when walking as this can cause all kind of problems such as blister and sores.
  • The terrain that you intend to walk in your hiking boots is an important factor to consider before purchasing. If you intend on walking on flat terrains then you won’t need as much ankle support with the hiking boots that you chose. For this type of terrain lightweight leather/synthetic uppers will be fine.

    If you intend on using your hiking boots on rougher terrains that are steep and rocky then you will need a hiking boot with maximum ankle support. For this type of terrain a slightly heavier more rigid boot is better as these will provide your foot and ankle with the correct support.

  • The final thing to consider is do my hiking boots need to be waterproof. If your intended terrain is going to have long wet grass, stream, puddles and good old mud then it is strongly recommend that you’re walking boots are waterproof. If your intended terrain is going to be dry and your unlikely to encounter any of the above then your hiking boots do not need to be waterproof.
