What's a good hiking boot?


Posted by Kristen D. Patient Expert

I've asked for hiking boots for Christmas, but I'm not quite sure exactly which pair I want. I wanted to reach out to fellow Wellsphere members-what's a good hiking boot manufacturer? What's better for you, a boot that reaches below the ankle, or one that reaches above?

Sorry no-one has responded to this yet, but I would do a Google search on it. I did that when I was looking for a hiking boot and got more information than I needed. Number one thing is to find something that fits and has some room for your toes. I bought some really terrific walking shoes from Ross once because they were on sale and thought the 8 1/2 (the only size available) would suffice. Wrong! Even though I can wear 8 1/2 in some styles, in these I definitely needed a 9. The shoes were just a little too tight and hurt like the dickens when I used them for any length of time...they never "broke in" either. Those types of shoes do not break in to make up for the size not being quite right. So you'll want to do your homework...especially if going on a long hiking trip.
