Boot Check Ten Tips For Hikers
Hiking may be one of the cheapest, easiest and most enjoyable summer activities. Yet, blisters, arch pain and ankle sprains may keep many from hitting the trails. If you paid $150 for your boots, but continue to develop blisters on every hiking trip, you are most likely in the wrong pair of boots. Many hikers simply can’t afford to buy a new pair of expensive boots every year when last years model didn’t quite work. To see if your boots are ready for another year of hiking, follow these simple tips:
1. Make sure your boot or hiking shoe is rigid. Take the shoe or boot and flip it over. Grab the toe and the heel and try to bend it. If it bends in half, it is too flexible. If you have trouble doing this, place the toe of the shoe on ground, holding the heel and press down. If the shoe collapses on itself, it is too flexible and it won’t be supportive.
2. Make sure the boot isn’t too rigid. The shoe should bend at the toes. This is the area of the foot that bends when pushing off. If the shoe doesn’t bend at all, it may be too rigid. Squeeze the heel of the shoe (called the heel counter). It should be stable and retain its shape, but not collapse. If it doesn’t bend at all it could bee too rigid and cause blisters.
3. Check boots for lumps and bumps. Look inside your old boots. Is the material wearing off at the heel or in the toe area? Is the material folding up or rolling in. These are prime areas for causing blisters. Put your hand all the way inside the boot and make sure the material in the toe area is not worn.
4. Check the insoles. Many think the cushier the insole the more comfortable the hike, but this is not necessarily true. In most cases the foot will be more comfortable in a rigid insole with a soft cover. Many of the spongy, bouncy insoles cause too much movement inside the boot, especially at the heel. This excess movement causes friction, which can lead to blisters. If the boot is still in good shape, but the insole has worn out, you might consider replacing it with a sport orthotic, Superfeet
