Finding the perfect boot is hard but often easily solved if you are looking to add in some support to the shoe via insoles. One of our physio members has suggested that “people go for neutrals but use a prescription orthotic. However if your stability problem is only mild then a course of exercises to improve strength, posture and proprioception is always better especially for trekking.” Superfeet Women’s Trailblazer Comfort Max Insoles What our members say: “Had them 2 years, not had to re-waterproof them yet, they get caked in mud and wade through streams. Never had a blister with them even when they were breaking in!!” Breathable waterproof footwear is dependent on keeping moisture away from the outer fabric. If the outer fabric is absorb ing water this reduces the breathability and your feet will feel clamy and wet giving the impression of leaking. They have a 60 day comfort guarantee so you can return them if they don’t work for you, even if they’ve been trimmed to fit your footwear.”

GENDER

Every foot is different…finding hiking boots may seem a mammoth task without knowing where to look first.

When walking downwards, pay attention to your toes. Your foot should not be falling forward with toes touching the end. Try and force your feet forward to make sure thy are again held correctly. Pay attention to the toe box crease. If there is an excess amount of creasing then this could be either the boots are too large or too wide. Our founder Sophie has a pair from Adidas and although these guys never existed in the market before, we are excited by their new offering. Adidas Women’s Terrex AX4 Mid GTX Boots What our members say: “I got Adidas Terrex hiking shoes instead of boots as they suited me and the type of walking I was doing at the time and they’re fab! I splashed out and got the goretex add on to make them waterproof. They’re super comfy without much breaking in at all and have held up really well for all the walks I’ve done so far!”Are they the correct fit? It is not all about the right length, it is about making sure they are the correct fit as boots and shoes come in all different shapes. The main thing to remember is they should be comfortable so that your foot is held in a good secure position so there is little movement but not so much that they are pinching or uncomfortable. I’ve had them for 5 years and they’ve lasted me through hiking in the Himalayas in monsoon season, 2 months in Africa and smaller hikes around the UK. I never had to break them in, they’re so comfy and super waterproof!”
