November 28, 2008, Newsletter Issue #145: The Lightweight Hiking Shoe
Tip of the Week
Many hikers immediately think of clunky, chunky boots when they think about hiking, but if you're going to do light to moderate hiking on well-maintained paths in dry weather, then think about getting a lightweight hiking shoe. These shoes offer less support than hiking boots, but they are much lighter weight and comfortable to hike in, as well.
If you carry a light day pack, these shoes are perfect, as well. They offer enough support for a day pack, and you should be able to hike all day in the right pair. Make sure they fit well and are breathable for hot weather hiking. The hiking shoe is a major improvement over bulky and unattractive hiking boots, and they may be all you need to hike at your best.
