Boots and Sandals

your activity, having the correct footwear is essential
to support and protect your feet and to help you feel
as comfortable at the end of a long day as you did at
the start. The wrong choice of footwear when travelling
could lead to aching and bruised feet. To choose the
correct category of walking boot, multi-purpose trainer
or sandal, you must take into consideration:
...level
of support, protection needed,
terrain and conditions, individual's size and build,
foot size and shape and the weight carried in your backpack.
