Benefits
Hiking boots are intended for the uneven trails one will encounter in a hiking activity. Here are several reasons why wearing hiking boots is beneficial to the hiker:
- Hiking boots are constructed to be sturdy and stiff at the bottom to protect the feet from getting hurt from the rocks, pebbles and thorns on a hiking trail.
- Hiking boots are made with good fit and cushioning for the feet to prevent blisters, which is common in long hiking activity.
- Hiking boots have support on the sides to keep the legs straight.
- Hiking boots also provide support to the ankle to prevent twisting, but will not restrict the ankle's movement.
