Leather Walking Boots

Whether you're looking to buy your first pair of walking boots or wanting a fresh pair because the soles of your old pair are worn out, having the right pair of shoes will allow you to enjoy any adventure in comfort and style. And despite all the technological advances in boot design, the traditional leather boot remains a firm favourite with walkers.

WOMEN'S WALKING BOOTS

When shopping for ladies walking boots, you first need to think about the kind of hiking trail you're going to be wearing them on. The more technical the trail, the more support you will need from your walking boots.

The ankle cuff is the part of a leather boot that sits around your ankle. Higher cuffs offer additional ankle support, which helps you tackle uneven ground. The height of the ankle cuff also helps to limit the amount of water, mud, and debris that gets into your boots. A lower cuff usually makes a boot lighter, but they do not provide enough ankle support on uneven ground.

MEN'S WALKING BOOTS

The upper of a men's leather hiking boot is constructed with minimal stitching, and they are made to last. Leather is super tough and durable, but you do need to look after them by applying a leather shoe cleaner and protectorregularly. And keep them safe and protected when you're not wearing them by storing them in ahiking boot bag.

Midsole flex is a way of looking at the flexibility of a boot and the rigidity of its sole. A flexible sole is best for even ground, while a rigid sole offers better performance on hills and rough ground. And when it comes to the outsole, well-spaced deep lugs are great for providing grip on soft ground without clogging.

If you already have a good pair of leather walking boots, you can always give them a little makeover by getting a new pair of boot laces. And a new pair of walking boot insoles can provide some extra cushioning by absorbing shocks from uneven terrain.
