How to Choose Hiking Boots
- Fit: snug heel, room to wiggle toes; try them later in the day.
- Support: mid/high cut for ankle support on rough terrain.
- Waterproofing: membranes keep feet dry but run warmer.
- Break them in before a big hike.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should hiking boots fit?
Snug around the heel with room to wiggle your toes. Try boots on with hiking socks, later in the day when feet are slightly swollen.
Do I need waterproof hiking boots?
For wet climates and stream crossings, yes. In hot, dry conditions, breathable non-waterproof boots keep feet cooler.
The Verdict
Prioritise fit and support over brand, break them in early, and match waterproofing to your climate. Compare hiking boots on eBay.
