Footwear

Hiking footwear for all seasons and sizes.
Wide selection of hiking shoes for children and adults.
Buying hiking shoes online can be difficult because, in addition to finding the right size, there are also considerations of fit, water resistance versus breathability, lacing systems, and maintenance.
Generally, a good pair of hiking boots typically needs to be purchased one size larger than a regular pair of everyday shoes. This is because the foot often expands when we go on longer walks and sometimes we need room for two pairs of socks.

What are the advantages of leather hiking boots?

Good boots for walking come in either nylon or leather, and there are advantages and disadvantages to both types of material.
Leather boots are often chosen for their durability, water resistance, and sometimes the look.
Leather hiking boots are indeed considerably more durable than nylon boots and therefore have longer life. Also, you are more secure in that you won't suddenly find yourself on the mountain with a broken boot.

On the other hand, a nylon boot is generally more breathable than the corresponding leather boot and often much lighter. Most hiking boots today are made with a waterproof membrane that also reduces breathability. If you add a relatively thick leather upper part, then there is a limitation on how much breathability is left. In contrast, a nylon upper part allows more moisture to escape.
