You need to change your shoes but you don't know which ones would suit you best?
The usefulness of shoes
First, you need to identify why you're going to use your shoes.

Your experience
How much experience do you have?
The load of the backpack and the duration of your trekking
What's the load on your backpack?
Of course, there is a huge difference between trekking for three weeks in Nepal with a 20 kilogram backpack and climbing the Alps with a 5 kilogram backpack. It is not only important to have a rigid and flexible sole, but the design of the whole shoe is also important. For more committed trekking with a heavy load, we recommend a more rigid shoe. For day trips with lighter backpacks, a lighter model is more suitable.
Weather conditions
What weather conditions do you foresee?
Will you be able to dry your shoes overnight?
We'll ask the question differently, is the Gore-Tex® membrane a prerequisite for your shoes? Shoes with a Gore-Tex® membrane are not only water-repellent and guarantee the wicking of perspiration, but are also characterised by the fact that they dry quickly. Therefore, shoes with this kind of membrane are the best choice for trekking, mountaineering (on glaciers for example), in rainy, humid, swampy and winter climates, especially if you don't have the opportunity to dry your shoes at night. If you happen to find yourself in the conditions mentioned above, although occasionally, you should consider footwear with a Gore-Tex® membrane.
The advantage of leather lining is that it adapts better to the shape of the foot, but leather footwear is not completely waterproof, even with very good care. It is therefore preferable to use them in dry climate conditions or when you have the possibility to dry your shoes at night.
