Choosing the ideal walking boots from Dogwood

Home -> Articles -> Robust walking boots

When choosing the perfect walking boots from the Dogwood footwear collection there are a few important points that you should remember in order to make day-long wear as comfortable as possible and ensure your walking experience is thoroughly enjoyable.

The wrong choice of footwear or ill-fitting walking boots could result in bruised, blistered or aching fit and mean that you have to cut your hiking trip short and amble on home.

Our walking boots are made from quality materials and are built to last. By ensuring that you select the correct style of boots in the right size you will save a fortune in the long run. Your boots will see you through a variety of walking expeditions and outdoor pursuits in a range of weather conditions, over any terrain.

When selecting walking boots make sure that you consider the following:

Your foot size, width and shape to make sure the boot fits snugly but allows enough room for your feet to expand when warm
Your size and build, the heavier you are the sturdier your boot will need to be
The weight that you will be carrying in your rucksack, again the heavier the load the more support is needed
The terrain and conditions that you plan to walk in and the need for waterproofing or an insulated lining
Try on the walking boots while wearing your walking socks, as they are thicker than regular socks and will ensure you have enough room in the boot
Break your boots in gently by venturing on a number of small walking trips before embarking on a long walk
