Hiking boots, what kind do I get? Tough question to answer. Finding the right hiking boots just right for your feet can be a difficult job. With hiking becoming one of the favorite weekend activities in America and needing to find good foot apparel well there's lots to choose from.
Do I want a waterproof boot or not? Mid boots or high boots? I guess it all depends on where your going to be doing your hiking. Is the area generally wet or dry? Are the trails flat or mountainous?
If its wet you'll want waterproof boots. Waterproof high boots will most likely be best suited for this kind of area. I know when I've gone hiking on local trails I just wore a good set of running shoes. If you just had some good rains in the past while or its early spring you'll be wishing you had a waterproof pair. In dry areas you could likely get away with wearing a mid size non waterproof pair of boots. Also the non waterproof boots breath better and are much lighter.
You can find hiking boots online at different websites or go to a local camping outfitters store where can choose from many brands and clerk will be more then happy to help you. Do remember it is the duty of every hiker to safeguard nature and do our best not to disturb her. Don't forget to take a plastic bag for garbage you may find while hiking. Help keep tails looking beautiful and take your camera for those great nature shots.
