They also have a good grip on the bottom, give you enough support, some of them keep your feet dry (Whit Gore-Tex or other Waterproof technology) and they aren’t too heavy.

Hiking/Trekking boots – we recommend them if you’re going on a long hike, traveling for a few days or more and you are going to carry weight in your backpack. You can also consider them if your ankles are unstable. They have more ankle support, thicker tread, thicker shoes, and provide your feet with significantly more protection. 

Get your shoes or boot fitted properly in our store or get them online and the most important thing is to break them in over many weeks before going out on a trail.
