Hiking Boots

1.1k · July 25, 2004

Ok, so after turning what should have been a 1.5 mile hike to the cache and 1.5 mile return into a 3.96 mile hike in and 1.5 mile return I have come to realize that my trusty wally world boots and Sam's Club gold toe socks aren't the right combo for longer cache adventures. They've worked great for < 1 mile round trip cache hunts.

So I'm looking for recommendations for light duty hiking boots and socks that I should consider. As soon as my blisters go away and I get some new boots and socks broken in there's some other longer distances caches I want to try but I won't make the mistake of trying them with my old wally world boots.

Also, any advice from women would be appreciated so I can pass those on to Donna.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Timberland makes fairly nice hiking boots at semi affordable prices. They can be waterproofed with something like sno-seal. If you are looking to spend a weeks paycheck, check Cabela's for high quality boots. Waterproofing can make all the difference though. Even the best boots can give you blisters if not proken in or waterproofed. Also re waterproof after you break the boots in, it will help with the seams.

July 25, 2004

There was a long thread on hiking boots/shoes a few weeks back, and I'm sure there were others before that. There's a lot of info there.

I have two pairs of hiking shoes and two pair of boots, depending on how heavy-duty i think my footwear needs to be. Most of the time I skip the boots and go with the shoes. If you really want boots and are OK with lightweight ones, Hi-Tec Magnums have been around for quite a while now, they're inexpensive, popular, lightweight, durable and relatively comfortable.

If at all possible, try before you buy!

If you find blistering to be a problem try using some sock liners. Also, do not use cotton socks. Cotton kills, even on your feet and especially when they sweat.

And as for socks, SmartWool. No bout adoubt it.

G'wan. Visit the website. Register for free socks. It's fun.

July 25, 2004

Moleskin for your blisters.

I'm pretty satisfied with 2 pairs of Merrells, one ankle high with Gore-tex & a low cut ventilator. I've always worn 100% cotton socks but have been reading up on other types so there could be something much better out there.

Hi-tec's were the most comfortable out of the box but not near as durable as the Merrells, at least in my case.

Your mileage may vary.

There is no quick answer when it comes to hiking boots. The best boots are ones that fit right and comfortable. The best socks the same, and they don't rub creating blisters.

For boots find a local outdoor store that specializes in hiking and backpacking gear. Talk to the sales people and tell them the kind of hiking you plan on doing. Try on boots that you think might work for you and wear them around in the store for a while. If they won't let you wear them around in the store for a while, go someplace else. The last pair I bought, and best I've owned, I spent over an hour wandering around the store with them on before I purchased them.

Socks... I usually wear two pair. A think wicking pair of "sock liners". These wick the moisture away from your feet. I wear a pair of heavy socks over that, often wool, sometimes wool/polypropolyne. I never had blisters with this combination and as strange as it may seem, this combination works in 90°+ weather as well as 20° weather. Again try different combinations. You'll find what works for you.

Being an unemployed college student, my shoe budget is very small. I have a pair of Earth Shoe hiking boots that I bought from Wal-Mart for about $25. They have a good thick and hard sole, they're comfortable and waterproof too. So far I have no complaints. I've used them on hikes of up to 7 miles with no problems.

As for socks, I have a pair of Fox River hiking socks. I got them at Sportsman's Warehouse for about $5. They too are comfortable and have worked well for me.

Looking for recommendations, is good. Gather them and throw them all out the window. One person will tell you Asolo boots are the best, another will say you have to try Rachile. They may be the best boots for that person and living hell on your feet. Since each company has a different style (narrow/wide feet, high/low instep, wide/narrow toe box, etc..) boots that are great for one person aren't necessarily good for another.

Just choose a boot that fits from a quality boot mfr and buy it from a reputable outdoors store and make sure the sales person is knowledgable. Ask them some simple questions. "why did you decide on this brand for my feet?", "what are the attributes of this boot that make you think it's appropriate for me?" If he can't give you a good answer, go elsewhere.

Some excellent boots are made by LL Bean, Asolo, Rachlie, Montrail, Scarpa, Merrell, Salomon, Vasque, Lowa, La Sportiva, Danner and Technica. But don't get hung up on a brand, look for a boot that fits YOU.

Also, stay away from botique brands like Timberland, as well as Walmart specials. They may work great for a few months, or a year, then suddenly you're in the backcountry without a sole on your boot.

Read this!

http://www.patc.net/hiking/gear/boots.html

It's a REALLY good article from the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club. It describes the best way to pick out hiking boots.

It's kind of long... But it's a worthwhile read. I'd print it and take it to the store. I need new boots myself, but I can't really get them right now.

Actually, I bought a pair of "Bandits" made by Ozark Trail at Wally world...for $20 not too bad.....I have walked miles and miles in them and been pretty comfy...those, coupled with a pair of extra thick wicking hunters socks and my feet are comfy......They are waterprooof, so they say...though NOTHING is waterproof if completely submerged...

The boots held up pretty good until I walked through one of QUestmaster's water hazards and used the dryer on high heat to dry them out fast,...the rear sole of one seperated (glue came undone)......Got a second pair and so far so good.....though it has only been a couple weeks.....I am hoping they hold up, even for a year...then get another pair....

Definately not high-end boots, but they are lightweight, comfy (so far) and seem to hold up OK (except for the dryer incident)....

That's one of the problem with the cheap boots. You never know when they are going to fail. They're fine for quick hikes, but if you take them out into the back country, you're asking for trouble.

A friend of mine would always brag about his comfortable $20 Kmart boots and laugh at those of us who shelled out $200 for a good pair of hiking boots. Then, on a backpacking trip, the sole fell off one boot, then the other....within 15 minutes of each other. We tried everything. Duct tape, straps, but in the end he wound up walking out in his socks, carrying a full pack over some pretty rugged ground. He literally was not a happy camper.

I love my boots. They are Merrell waterproof boots.

July 26, 2004

I love my Merrells Summits so much I made them my avatar! Bought the boots first, now I have the sport sandals and trail runners too. By my pedometer, the boots have more than 450 miles on them in almost a year's time and except for being very dirty, they look are holding up very well. I do treat them occasionally with a spray waterproofing, because the Summits are not Gortex, though other Merrells are available that are, I didn't want the added heat and weight of Gortex.

I'm sure we'll be hiking together for years.

July 26, 2004

Dont trust any snotnose, acne face kid at the local sporting good store! Look Columbia, Timberland, Merrell, Nike make really nice trail shoes/ hiking boots you are going to have to go try them on. Dont order them online they all fit differently on different people. Be prepared to spend 75-150 dollars for a good pair you will not be dissapointed. I just bought some Columbia Sawtooth trail shoes, I love them for everyday use and for some trail walks, but they are a midtop so they dont give total ankle support like a high top, but just because I like them you might hate them.

July 26, 2004

the most important thing to do is to have your feet measured & fitted by a professional. imo, the brand of boot is completely secondary to that.

I agree with the measuring part but just because you know you where a 11m you dont go to Wal-mart and buy some boots there. Size and a good brand are equally important.

KEYPERSN: I have to agree with you on the Merrells. I was at Dick's Sporting Goods last night and they had a pair of Merrells in my size on the clearance rack so I snatched them up. They feel 100 times better than my old Wally World boots. I'm going to wear them around the house this week to get them broken in and then wear them this weekend when we head out for another day of caching.

Which proves my eariler post. Merrells cause major blisters on my feet and are very uncomfortable for me. The one pair I owned, I gave to my brother after a few month of break-in didn't change things. He loved them. They are excellent boots, if they fit your feet.

I what happen if the boots fail in and you are injured as a result and cannot hike out. then you end up paying for emergancy personel to get you to a hospital. A real pair of boots would have saved you a lot more money. Boots are the most important item when you are hiking. You will neve get quality boots at Wally World types of retailers, You have to go to a Back Packing specialty store, in person. Plase like Big 5 and sports mart are not Back Packing specialty stores.

You can get quality footware at these places but the selection is less but the price is better.

These are trail runners not hiking boots they are nice because you can wear them day to day or on the trail. I dont even wear hiking boots when I do hike, Being a Wildland Firefighter I have a pair of Whites Smokejumpers that cost about $400 that come up just under my knee and that have the best ankle support ever but since I wear them at work I am used to them and their weight. For the average Joe these would not be practical.

These kind of shoes are designed for light hiking on easy, well groomed trails, or in city parks. I have a similar pair made by Salomon. They are fine for probably 90 percent of the geocaches out there, but are not serious hiking boots appropriate for use on rugged hiking trails, or off trail use. They are basically sneakers (or tennis shoes to those of you in the rest of the country) on steroids.

P.S. I noticed that the insoles come out... where can I buy some fancy shmancy really comphy insoles... if I ever feel so inclined?

You can get Superfeet insoles at nearly any decent place that sells hiking boots. I don't see the need for them with shoes like this though.

Well, its not like the whole boot disintegrated either.....The rear part of the sole seperated from the show....about 98% of the sole was still attached....

I am not climbing the faces of cliffs in them or travelling 400 miles into the wilderness with nothing around.....so, even if one of them failed "catastrophically" I dont think it would be a life-threatening kind of thing...Uncomfortable, I am sure, but not life threatening.....

Regardless, I guess time will tell.....Like I said, if the second pair fail, I will know they are junk...

But I have bought many pairs of shoes and boots in my life and I have had $100 running shoes die in 3 months whereas $20 running shoes lasted a year.....I am no longer convinced that $$$ = quality.

I buy my motorcycle riding boots at Walmart. They run about $30 a pair.....I wear the soles out before anything else happens to them (I drag my feet alot on the bike)....

I got a pair of $35.00 boots from Wally-world which felt fine until I crossed a stream and walked up onto the rocks on the other side with wet soles... That almost cost me a PDA, GPSr, and Digital Camera! A couple of weeks ago, I found a pair of Roots hiking boots on clearance from Sears; $135.00 for $60.00. Excellent soles, heavy leather construction, and none of those miserable ****ing "speed-lacer" hook things, just eyelets all the way to the top! As for socks, any of the "Wick-away" cotton/wool blend are probably okay.

No, I cant afford to replace shoes every few months.....I know runners that do though......

I hear you on the running/pain thing....at 34 I was 315 pounds at 6'2".....I decided to lose the weight and started walking everyday.....after a year I had dropped 75 pounds or so and was walking 3.5 miles a day, and was wearing Adidas Cross Trainers......they were fine....then I started running a few days....2-3 miles....and walking the rest.....worked my way up to running 3.5 a day.....Knees and hips started hurting.....

So, i went out and bought some Adidas running shoes (about $75)and while I was more comfortable while running, I still had knee and hip pain.....Well, I backed off to just running 3.1 miles on a bike path with uphills and downhills and then a half mile cooldown walk during the week, and then 3.5 miles running on a flat course on Saturday and Sunday....I found my pain subsided a bit....My running shoes are about 4 months old and showing signs of the soles wearing out but they still give good support I think.....Have lost another 15 pounds since, 1.5 years after I started.....I think al ot of my pain is simply due to the fact that I was really overweight for so long....

Now, I just used my bike on a cache, after not riding it for over 10 years....I think I did about 10 miles total..... and my hips and knees have hurt like crazy for the last couple days...... :rolleyes: Nothing to do with the shoes there.....just my age and previous damage I guess.
