Trekking shoes

Trekking shoes are, in general, a type of footwear for expeditions and off-road trips. It can be an outing to the mountains and it can be trekking shoes for a longer walk or a couple of days out in difficult terrain. It is known that feet and their comfort are very important during expeditions. The hiker's feet must be dry and rested. Shoes must not rub, be too small or too big. As a general rule, you should avoid wearing newly purchased shoes on expeditions. It is better to reach them and check them around the house. Ill-fitting trekking shoes are the end of our adventure. Also remember that for this type of shoes we choose slightly different socks than for casual or going out shoes.

How to choose trekking shoes

At first glance, it may seem that most trekking shoes are the same. To a large extent, this is true. Trekking boots have some common features because, after all, they were all created for the same purpose. What characterizes trekking boots is a higher upper. It is usually 7 to 9 inches high. This helps stabilize the ankle and ensure safety in difficult terrain. Another distinctive feature is the membrane. A blessing of dryness for legs that will stay out of water. Of course, don't confuse membrane boots with wellingtons. The membrane protects against both rain and water from puddles and streams. Remember a solid lacing system. The shoe must not fit snugly. If it does, it will start to pinch you after a short walk. In winter, your leg will freeze due to impeded blood circulation.

How to choose the size of shoes in the online store?

Buying at a distance may seem difficult. Our dolasu.pl store has been in business for more than 10 years, and if customers follow our instructions well then there are no major problems. Matching the size of the shoe is really about choosing the right insole length. The trekking boots in our store have measured insoles. You should measure the length of the insole in your shoe and then match it to the values given in the table of the corresponding model. Unfortunately, even within the same manufacturer the same size has a different length with different models. The same applies to clothing for hunters. Remember that you can easily send back and exchange products purchased online. Do not tear off the tags and try them on at home.
