Trainers, Sandals, Hiking Boots & much more

Now, a lot of people will tell you that if you are going on a weekend hiking trip, your choice of hiking footwear will determine whether you come out smiling or looking sick.

And it’s true.

But what most of these people do not tell you is that you don’t require the most advanced mountaineering hiking boots for a normal weekend hiking trip.

Some smart thinking and some smart shopping will help you avoid creating a hole in your pocket and also enjoy your weekend outer.

But please keep in mind that all this information is subject to the kind of terrain that you are going to encounter.

When to use Hiking boots,Trainers or Shoes

If you are out for a small two hour hike in warm weather or for a hike late in the day in perfect weather conditions, then a pair of trainers with a firm sole grip may be suitable. The downside is that trainers do not provide you with much ankle support and even the slightest of unruly terrain can catch you off guard. A twisted ankle? There can be nothing worse to encounter during a hiking trip.

When sandals are enough

If you are out camping in the west, where you can encounter some shallow rivulets and you will also be doing some hiking on the side on extremely easy territory, then sandals can also serve the purpose. But your sandals must have firm ankle straps and a good sole that prevents slipping on slippery terrain.

Why Hiking Boots are the best choice

There are all kinds of hiking boots available. Beginners hiking boots, advanced hiking boots, waterproof hiking boots, mountaineering hiking boots and professional hiking boots. Irrespective of what kind of terrain that you are going to be hiking on, hiking boots provide your feet with the best support required.

Pair them with the right pair of hiking socks and you will come back smiling for sure.
