They offer better ankle and heel support in comparison to hiking shoes. Moreover, their tread-like sole offer superior grip and prevent ankle twists in case of a slip. Trek shoes also offer good leg support and are good for snowy and rainy conditions. Choose ones that are moderately water resistant, if not water proof.

What he could feel as they are meant for the ones who want to tame high mountains and trek across mountain ranges such as the Alps. The first three kind of outdoor shoes are best for amateur, budding and experienced trekkers. As a matter of fact, the choice of your shoes should always depend on the level of your outdoor activity. Thomas Salzano says there’s no point buying expedition shoes if you just started hiking. Comments are closed.
