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.
