Outdoor Essentials Hiking Boots

Outdoor Essentials Hiking Boots

For exploring the great outdoors, a great pair of hiking boots is essential. Mountain Warehouse offers a wide range of hiking boots to suit every budget and requirement. To choose the right hiking boot for you, decide what level of weatherproofing and comfort you will need.

Weatherproofing

If you're going to be hiking or walking in wet conditions, a waterproof boot is essential. Many of our boots come with a waterproof Isodry liner and a waterproof upper material. Your personal needs will dictate which hiking boot is correct for you; you may be visiting a very dry, warm climate, so a lightweight feel and enhanced breathability would be more important than their waterproofing ability. Some of our hiking boots offer water resistance, making them suitable for fairly wet conditions, but will not offer the protection of a fully waterproof hiking boot.

Weight of your boots

Mountain Warehouse hiking boots vary from lightweight and very breathable to heavier and more durable options. Heavier, leather hiking boots offer greater protection from the elements and enhanced durability. With heavier boots, it is necessary to break them in before you use them to allow them to mould to your feet and become comfortable without rubbing or irritation. Many heavyweight boots feel stiff at first, but an effective wearing in period will ensure that your boots serve you well even on the longest of hikes.

Fit of your boots

For real comfort, go for a hiking boot that is half a size or a size larger than you would usually wear. This accounts for a thick hiking sock, any swelling of the feet and the bulky nature of the boot itself. Don't let sore feet ruin your journey into the unknown - invest in a quality pair of hiking boots that will make your hike a walk in the park!
