How to choose the right low hiking boots?

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

Determine your type of hiking: Before choosing shoes, it's essential to know the type of hiking you're planning. Requirements vary according to the terrain (flat, rocky, muddy trails, etc.) and the duration of the hike.

Comfort and fit:
Always try on shoes before you buy. They should be comfortable from the very first try. Make sure they are neither too tight nor too loose. Don't forget to wear the socks you'll be using on the trail when you try them on.

Ankle support
: Low hiking boots offer less ankle support than high models. If you need extra ankle support, opt for high hiking boots.
Grippy soles: Outsoles should offer good grip on different types of terrain. Look for soles with excellent traction to avoid slipping on slippery surfaces.
Waterproofing: If you often hike in wet or rainy areas, choose waterproof footwear with a breathable membrane to keep your feet dry while wicking away moisture.
Breathability: If you're hiking in hot weather, choose breathable footwear to prevent your feet from overheating and sweating excessively.
Toe and heel protection: Hiking boots should have reinforced toe and heel protection to prevent injury from bumps against rocks or roots.
Weight: Choose lightweight shoes if you're planning fast, light hikes, but opt for sturdier, more resistant models if you're carrying a heavy backpack.
Test them out: Before setting out on a long-distance hike, wear your new shoes for short hikes or walks to make sure they fit your feet properly.
Care: Take care of your shoes by cleaning them regularly and maintaining them to extend their life.

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

Low hiking boots and high hiking boots each have their own advantages, depending on individual needs and preferences. Here are just a few of the advantages of low hiking boots over high hiking boots:
Lightness: Low hiking boots are generally lighter than their mountaineering counterparts. This can reduce leg fatigue on long hikes, especially over easy terrain.
Mobility: Low hiking boots offer greater ankle mobility. This can be advantageous for hikers who prefer a greater range of movement, especially on less technical trails.
Breathability: Low hiking boots tend to be more breathable due to their lighter construction and reduced height. This can help keep your feet cool and dry in hot weather.
Speed of drying: Because of their lighter design and breathability, low hiking boots tend to dry more quickly if they get wet. This can be an advantage when crossing rivers or hiking in the rain.
Versatility: Low hiking boots are often more versatile and can be used for a wider range of outdoor activities, including hiking, walking, trail running and even daily wear.
Less restrictive: If you prefer the comfort and feel of lighter, less restrictive footwear, low hiking boots may be a better choice.

It's important to note that the choice between low and high hiking boots will also depend on the type of hiking you plan to do. On technical, steep terrain or in difficult weather conditions, high hiking boots generally offer better ankle support and protection. Ultimately, your choice of hiking boots should reflect your personal preferences, your hiking style and the specific conditions of your outdoor outing.
