Types
- Trail Shoes - Trail shoes are made for hiking in dry climate, well-established paths that are less rugged and rocky. Trail shoes are ideal for one-hour to one-day hikes when carrying a light day pack.
- Trail Hikers - Trail hikers are meant for steeper inclines and muddy paths. This pair is often used for three days to a week of hiking activity. Trail hikers are sturdier, higher-cut and waterproof boots. These will provide added stability and ankle protection against protruding limbs and rocks.
- Mountaineering Boots - Mountaineering boots are designed for mountain climbing activities. Crampons are often attached to the shoes for a better grip on glaciers or hard-packed snow. Mountaineering boots are extremely strong, durable, and have stiff soles to give the ankles support and protection on difficult trails.

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
