  • Materials to look for: GORE-TEX, NGX, Pertex.
  • Pit zips for ventilation.

Whether you plan to trek in the mountains or explore a
nearby national park, your footwear can seriously make (or break) your
experience. To get it right, you'll need to find the perfect fit in either
boots or shoes designed specifically for your intended purpose.

  • Choose boots for your foot shape.
  • Consider hiking socks.
  • What kind of terrain will you be on?
  • How long will you be in your feet?
