How to Choose Trekking and Hiking Boots - A Guide
Choosing hiking boots is a challenging task. In this video, I offer a systematic approach. We'll cover what to consider when undertaking long hikes and mountain treks, the different types of hiking boots, and the intended uses of different types of boots and sneakers. We'll also cover what Gore-Tex and Vibram are and why they're important, how to buy boots correctly and incorrectly, and finally, the ultimate question of all time: which brand should you buy? And equally important: do you even need a brand?
In short, choosing the perfect trekking boots.
