How to choose the best walking boots for me?
Intro
Choosing the best walking boot for your expedition is crucial. It pays to look around and work out what’s right for you. Get your boots early as they must be worn in and comfortable in time for your expedition practice.
Leather walking boots
Leather walking boots will cost you more than fabric boots, but they are usually sturdier and longer-lasting.
Fabric walking boots
Fabric boots are lighter, cheaper, and a good option if your feet are still growing.
Summary
Make sure to invest in a good pair of boots if you plan to use them frequently, but don’t overspend if you plan on hanging them up after your expedition!
