Here are some of the things that are really important in case you missed them! 

Once set on getting a new pair of hiking boots, the first thing to do is assess the trail’s level of difficulty. For easy and relatively flat trails, you can go with your ordinary sneakers. But for trails with lots of steep inclinations, you’d want to protect your ankle with low tops or mid-heights.

 

Another thing you shouldn’t miss is how the boot fits on your foot. Naturally, you’d want the heel to about the middle of the shoe to fit tightly around your foot. This way, there’s no room for your foot to move when you’re walking but just enough room for your toes to wiggle around.

 

If you noticed, Aveen’s boots are mostly GTX’s. GTX stands for Gore-Tex fabric that’s waterproof while it remains breathable. Otherwise, the boots aren’t waterproof of if they are, chances are there’s no ventilation for your feet. Thus, your feet gets really hot especially when it’s not winter.
