Hiking boots

When shopping for men's and women's hiking boots online, experts advise that you prefer the brand that you have worn before. This way you will get a familiar comfort that you are used to. It is a good practice to try on trekking boots at the end of the day, as that is when the foot changes size. Regardless of whether you have chosen summer, winter hiking boots or three-season boots, when you try them on, you should wear the right socks, which will help you get the best sense of walking comfort.

If you are not sure about the condition of the terrain, it is recommended to wear Alpina mountain boots, which have a special membrane that prevents water from penetrating. This way, even if you encounter shallow water areas or mud, you will be prepared. And most importantly, be sure to "break in" your boots before setting off on your journey. This way you will protect your feet from inflammation and wounds.

Hiking boots or sneakers

For beginners, the question often arises: which is better, boots or sneakers?

Boots are most often used when you are more advanced and have multi-day hikes with a heavy backpack on bad trails or no trails at all, as well as hikes of any length. Hiking in winter is also a prerequisite for preferring boots.

You can rely on sneakers if you have light day excursions on flat terrain ahead.

What trekking shoes do we need

When determining the type of hiking shoes, we must make a decision according to the location and season of the year. Then, an important point is the material from which they are made. The most preferred models of hiking shoes are made of natural or artificial leather, as well as suede and textiles. These are proven materials that are durable, resistant to extreme use, water and moisture, cold and heat.

Another important feature is the sole of our new trekking shoes. It should be made of flexible and durable rubber that provides the right grip for the terrain typical of mountain conditions. It is also necessary to pay attention to comfort, so the insole should be anatomical and have an EVA midsole for greater support, softness and comfort.

What is special about mountain boots

Trekking boots cannot be compared to ordinary ones when it comes to walking in the mountains on uneven, hilly and rocky terrain. In such a case, the likelihood of spraining and breaking the leg is greater. Therefore, our feet must be properly equipped. They must be protected from moisture, cold, heat, water and unevenness, and only the right mountain boots can provide this.

Depending on their type and purpose for the respective season of the year, they are high and create additional support for the ankle, foot, toes and the entire foot. The right grip will protect us from slipping and provide the necessary support so that we feel stable and confident when overcoming unpredictable mountain terrain.
