Tip of the Week - April 15 - SHOES

Original Shoes from the Trail.
Trek Tip of the Week #1  SHOES: One of the most important things you can do to ensure an enjoyable trek experience is to wear a good pair of walking shoes or hiking boots. They should have a flexible sole and be made out of a mesh material that breathes, or a combination of mesh and leather. A higher top shoe/ boot supports the ankle better and may provide better protection. Well-fitting shoes should have 1/2 inch space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe, wiggle room in the toe box, a good arch support, and the heels shouldn't slip when you walk. Make sure you wear your trek shoes with appropriate socks regularly 3-4 weeks BEFORE THE TREK!
