Introduction
I like to do my bit to encourage people to get out and enjoy the countryside so from time to time I post about my walks with walking partner Lisa. You can find these posts in my Walks Blog or look in the ‘Recent posts’ section over on the right.
If you haven’t done so already, buy some good hiking shoes and get out there and explore!
Hiking Shoes or Hiking Boots?
Most of my walks last from 1 to 6 hours. I like to travel light, and the local terrain, though hilly and rugged, is not what could be called ‘hardcore’. I used to wear hiking boots and they lasted me well but when they finally wore out I decided to try hiking shoes instead. So far, I think it has been a good move. The new shoes are lighter than my boots were and I feel slightly less fatigued after long walks now. If your hiking is similar to mine, shoes might be better for you than boots. There is a huge range of women’s hiking shoes (including sandals and trail running shoes) at the companies I recommend here.
If you are very overweight or going for multi-day hikes carrying a heavy load over rough or mountainous terrain, then you might be better off taking a look at this page – women’s hiking boots. Your feet and ankles will be better supported and protected when wearing boots.
