Finding The Right Rugged Walker For Your Feet

By Jennifer Davis


Walking is an excellent type of exercise that people could do on their free time. This has the advantage of not needing any equipment like gyms have and the length could vary depending on what you can do. You can also do this almost anywhere but the best places to walk is somewhere full of nature and fresh air like parks or nature trails.

Unlike parks though, nature trails usually have uneven and difficult pathways that you need to traverse. You will be needing shoes that can withstand these conditions such as hiking boots or sometimes called rugged walker. There are many available in the market and choosing which one to wear could oftentimes be difficult to do.

There are various types of boots that can be used depending on the kind of trail you would be going to and the load weight you are carrying. One of these are called hiking shoes that are low cut and have flexible midsoles compatible for short hikes in easier terrains. They should be used only for a short time because of their lightweight which may be unable to support the feet well.

Then there are day hiking boots which are used for backpacking trips and comes in either a mid or high cut style. Small lighter loads could be carried but avoid carrying heavier ones because it cannot support you that much. Breaking it in to feel comfortable while wearing it only takes a shorter time.

Backpacking boots offer the most support enabling you to carry heavier loads and can be used in hikes that takes multiple days. It is durable and has enough support that backpackers prefer to use it when camping and hiking on hills and mountains. You can traverse rougher terrains wearing these.

The shoes are made of different components and materials that help you in walking comfortably and protects your feet as well. One of these are the uppers which could influence the durability, breathability, weight and water resistance. Another one are midsoles that cushions and buffers the feet from shock and the stiffer ones are better for uneven terrains.

Outsoles are the bottom most part of the shoes which makes contact to the land the most. It has lug patterns used to give traction and improve grip on certain grounds. It also has heel brakes which reduce the likeliness of sliding during abrupt descents and is the part of the outsole located in the heel area with a distinct cut from other areas.

Your boots should fit snugly but not tight and have ample room for your toes to wiggle. Wear socks you intend to use when fitting the shoes and do it during the end of the day when feet usually swell. Doing these things would prevent you from buying shoes that are too tight and small for you.

Wear it and walk around the shop to try if it fits you well and how comfortable it is. Do not use it immediately on long walks because you might sore your feet instead gradually increase the duration of wearing it to let it adjust to your feet. When purchasing online, buy the brands you have tried before to know the exact size for you.
