Hiking boots
Walking through the wilderness is good for your body and soul, but it can be hard on your feet. Designed specifically for the rigors of the trail, hiking boots do more than just protect your feet and ankles. They provide long-lasting comfort along with the traction you need to keep your footing in treacherous conditions.
Protection for your feet and ankles
Hiking boots are made of rugged, weather-resistant materials designed to withstand the wear and tear of the trail while keeping your feet safe from the elements. They’re constructed to support the foot and ankle during the kind of movement required by rough terrain, with reinforced areas for protection from scrapes and falls. For optimal ankle support, choose a high-cut boot. For casual day hikes, a low cut may be perfect.
Durability to keep you trekking
Whether they’re made of synthetic material or full-grain leather, hiking boots stand up to hard wear. But keep in mind that the environment you’re hiking in should influence which boot you choose. Full-grain leather will keep your feet warm and protected in cold and rugged conditions, but it can add weight to your steps. Synthetics will let your feet breathe in warmer climates, but they may not be the best choice for frequent and extended hikes on difficult terrain.
The right hiking boots for you
Casual hikers may find a low-cut, breathable, and lightweight shoe as their best option. Serious trekkers who spend days or weeks on technical trails may need high cut boots with stiff soles and extra cushion. Wherever you love to hike, SunnySports has the perfect fit for you with options from brands like Salomon, Danner, and Columbia.
