Tips to Choose the Best Hiking Boots for Your Needs

Hiking is really fun. We all have different preferences in terms of comfort, fashion and style so when it comes to choosing hiking boots we should pick based on what we need more than anything else. How long will our trip be? What kind of climate conditions will there be where we'll be hiking? Are we looking for waterproof protection along with foot support? All these factors play a role in deciding which one works best but there are certain things that every pair should have no matter what purpose it serves; durability, warmth, traction (grip), flexibility as well as fitting comfortably around the arch/ankles area etc... Some important things to remember while buying hiking boots:

1. Proper Fit: This is very important. Make sure you try on several pairs before you make a decision. Walk around in them for a while and see if it is comfortable. The boots should fit snugly, but not too tight, around the ankles/heels. The soles of the boots should be thick enough to provide the right amount of support. The boots should also be high enough to cover your ankles which protects them from falling rocks etc. You don't want to make your ankles susceptible to severe sprains because of ill-fitting boots. 

2. Durable: The military boots you buy should be durable and rugged enough to withstand harsh weather, rough terrain and tough terrain. Serious hikers prefer boots made of leather for maximum durability. 

3. Good Grip: Another important feature to look for in hiking boots is traction or grip. The boot soles should have a good grip and should be sturdy enough to provide stability on slippery paths and trails. 

4. Waterproofing: This is another important factor to consider when you choose your hiking boots. Waterproofing keeps your feet safe from water, rain, snow and slush. Waterproofing also helps to keep your feet dry and warm even in cold and wet weather. If you plan to go hiking in wet places, buy boots with waterproofing. 

5. Lightweight: Choose a pair that is not too heavy.

The boots should be lightweight and comfortable enough for you to walk for miles. 

6. A Good Support: Each boot should be rated for a certain load and if your load exceeds that rating then the boot could pose a problem to your foot. 

7. Breathable: Besides keeping your feet protected, the Merrell Moab 2 boots should also let your feet breathe. If you sweat a lot, or if you will be hiking in warmer climates, then you need a pair of breathable boots to make sure that your feet remain dry and comfortable. There are many more things to consider, but these are the most important ones and the ones that you should not overlook.
