December 12, 2008, Newsletter Issue #147: Hiking Shoes for Lightweight Hiking
1
Tip of the Week
Sierra Trading Post Tip: Many hikers are getting into lightweight backpacking, where they cut their loads to perhaps 15 pounds of gear, and hike in lightweight hiking shoes instead of traditional hiking boots. For many people, these lightweight hiking shoes are the perfect alternative to heavy, clumsy boots.
However, if you're carrying a heavy pack, or walking on rough terrain, there's no substitute for a sturdy hiking boot. Not only will it protect your ankles from injury, it gives more support to help you carry heavier loads.
If you hike on maintained trails, and don't carry much with you, lightweight hiking shoes will fit the bill, and they are a little easier on the wallet, as well. Look for hiking shoes that fit your foot well, are comfortable to walk in, and offer arch support and shock adsorbing soles, and you'll be extra happy with your lightweight hiking shoes!
