December 5, 2008, Newsletter Issue #146: Waterproof Hiking Shoes for All-Weather Comfort
Tip of the Week
Sierra Trading Post Tip: You may be a fair-weather hiker who never plans to take a hike in adverse weather conditions, but you never know when a sudden storm can put a damper on your plans. That's why your hiking shoe should be waterproof, just in case. If you hike in dry, hot conditions, your hiking shoe should be breathable, otherwise, go for waterproof.
Waterproof shoes don't cost any more than other good quality hiking shoes, but a rainy day will make them worth their weight in gold.
Waterproof hiking shoes are good choices for trail running as well. They are tough enough to stand up to the rigors of the trail, but lightweight so they won't weigh you down. You may not think you need a hiking shoe that's waterproof, but you'll be glad you have them when the day turns cloudy.
