Hiking Boots: 5 Things To Consider When Choosing Proper Canyon Footwear

hiking-bootsMy main purchase, and probably the most important one for this trip, was my first pair of hiking boots.  Choosing a pair of boots is of dire importance, especially for a trip of this magnitude.   Getting a blister would be very bad. Twisting an ankle; worse.

Senor Yermo gave me some advice when it comes to buying a proper pair of hiking boots.  Here’s what I learned about my first purchase:

1. Try a few pairs on at each price level

2. Walk around, notice anything uncomfortable

3.  More expensive/cheaper boots are not necessarily better boots

4. Don’t forget sock liners

5  Look for superior tread, arch and ankle support
