Hiking Boots FAQ's

How can I find my size in a hiking boot?

Sizing up from your regular shoe size is sometimes recommended when choosing performance footwear. This accommodates your socks and any foot swelling that may occur from heat, and it will prevent unnecessary pressure on your toes.

Should hiking boots only be used for hiking?

While you can wear hiking boots for fashion purposes, if you are a serious hiker, it is best kept for hiking, to preserve the lugs. It is also not recommended to use hiking boots for any other kind of fitness activity.

Can I wear hiking boots with everyday wear?

Yes, you can, and many people enjoy wearing hiking boots during winter, for a rugged yet cosy look. However, if you are an avid hiker concerned with increasing the lifespan of your hiking boots, then it is better to keep them aside for hiking only.

Why are some hiking boots so heavy?

Hiking boots can feel heavy to those who are new to the activity and lifestyle. They often require sturdy material and thick outsoles with lugs for traction. These features help protect your feet against sharp objects on the trail, while ensuring steady footing throughout.
