Get a well fitting running shoe, or a lightweight trail shoe. Boots are overkill for most hiking. Lightweight shoes will allow you to use a more natural stride, and will be less effort to walk in. Indeed. Worth noting with running shoes is that not all grip patterns are up to much off-road. You want some degree of cleats/studs/lugs to deal with mud, unless you like sitting down a lot... The more flexible the sole the more you'll get sore feet walking on hard and uneven surfaces, but the less effort you'll waste on soft and/or even ones. Pete. FWIW, my preference for trail shoes would be Meindle(Scout). they are waterproof and very durable, oh yes- and comfortable. Bill |
