Hiking boots

Hiking boots provide the necessary support and traction for back roads trips. For a short walk through the woods you may be able to wear sneakers comfortably. However, hiking boots should be purchased for longer hikes.

If you are taking day trips for a few hours shop for lightweight hiking boots. They are perfect for a two to three hour hike if you are not carrying much weight. Like hiking boots are flexible, relatively inexpensive but do not have the same support as heavier boots.

For longer trips with a rugged terrain you will need a heavier duty pair of hiking boots. These boots have strong traction to keep you from slipping and good ankle support which will prevent ankle twists under the weight of the pack. For extended trips look for waterproof boots to keep your feet dry.
