How to choose the right hiking boots?

Choosing the right hiking boots is crucial to ensuring your comfort, safety and performance during your outdoor adventures. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right hiking boots for you:

Define your type of hiking:

Consider the type of terrain you'll be hiking on (hiking trails, mountain paths, rocky terrain, etc.).
Assess the duration of your hikes, as this may influence the level of support and comfort you need.

Know your foot:

Measure the length and width of your feet to determine your exact shoe size.
Take into account the shape of your foot (normal, wide, narrow) and any foot problems you may have (such as flat feet or hollow feet).

Choosing the right fit :

High-cut shoes offer better ankle support, which is particularly useful on uneven terrain.
Make sure the upper (the rising part of the shoe) fits comfortably around your ankle without creating chafing or excessive pressure.

Upper materials :

Leather shoes offer durability and water resistance, but often require some time to get used to your foot.
Shoes made of synthetic materials are lighter and dry faster, but can be less durable.

Outsoles:

Opt for soles with robust grip for better traction on a variety of terrains.
Vibram soles are renowned for their quality and grip.

Comfort and fit:

Always try on shoes with hiking socks that you'll wear on your outings.
Make sure there's enough room for your toes, but not too much to avoid blisters.
Walk in shoes to make sure they're comfortable and supportive.

Waterproofing:

If you're hiking in damp or rainy environments, consider waterproof shoes to keep your feet dry.

Shoe weight:

Lighter shoes are ideal for day hikes, while sturdier shoes may be necessary for multi-day hikes with a heavy backpack.

Budget:

Set a realistic budget, but don't hesitate to invest a little more in quality shoes that will last longer and offer greater comfort.



What are the advantages of a pair of high hiking boots over a pair of low hiking boots?

Hiking boots offer a number of advantages over low-cut hiking boots, especially when you're walking over rough terrain or in difficult conditions. Here are just a few of the advantages of high hiking boots:

Ankle protection: Hiking boots cover the ankle, offering greater support and protection against sprains and injuries. They are particularly useful when hiking on rocky or uneven terrain.

Greater stability
: By wrapping around the ankle, high-top shoes offer greater stability, which can be essential when walking on steep or slippery trails. They also help reduce the risk of ankle twisting.

Debris protection
: High-top shoes tend to have a higher tongue and collar to prevent debris such as pebbles, sand or plant debris from entering the shoe.

Thermal insulation
: Hiking boot models can offer better thermal insulation, keeping your feet warmer in cold weather or wet environments.

Weather protection
: Hiking boots can be designed with waterproof or water-resistant materials, keeping you dry when crossing streams, puddles or in the rain.

Load support:
If you're carrying a heavy backpack, high-top shoes offer better support for your ankles, which can be particularly useful for reducing fatigue and the risk of injury when carrying heavy loads over long distances.

Durability:
In general, hiking boots tend to be more robust and durable than low hiking boots, as they are designed to withstand heavy use.

Versatility:
Hiking boots are versatile and suitable for a variety of terrains, including mountain trails, forests, muddy and rocky terrain, making them an excellent choice for a range of outdoor activities.

It's important to note that the choice between high and low hiking boots depends on your personal hiking style, the season, the terrain and your individual preferences. We recommend that you choose footwear according to the specific environment and conditions in which you plan to hike.
