Benefits
Hiking boots are intended for the uneven trails one will encounter in a hiking activity. Here are several reasons why wearing hiking boots is beneficial to the hiker:
- Hiking boots are constructed to be sturdy and stiff at the bottom to protect the feet from getting hurt from the rocks, pebbles and thorns on a hiking trail.
- Hiking boots are made with good fit and cushioning for the feet to prevent blisters, which is common in long hiking activity.
- Hiking boots have support on the sides to keep the legs straight.
- Hiking boots also provide support to the ankle to prevent twisting, but will not restrict the ankle's movement.

Famous quotes containing the word benefits:
“Through all opposition the personal benefits of the reform [dress] [bracketed word in original] have compensated; but had it been mainly sacrifice, the thought of working for the amelioration of women and the elevation of humanity would still have been the beacon-star guiding me on amid all discouragements.”
—Susan Pecker Fowler (1823–1911)
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“Unfortunately, we cannot rely solely on employers seeing that it is in their self-interest to change the workplace. Since the benefits of family-friendly policies are long-term, they may not be immediately visible or quantifiable; companies tend to look for success in the bottom line. On a deeper level, we are asking those in power to change the rules by which they themselves succeeded and with which they identify.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
