Finding the right hiking boot, what is important?
Finding the right walking shoe is crucial for a comfortable and safe walking experience. Before setting out, there are some important aspects to consider to ensure you choose the right footwear. There are different types of walking shoes, including light walking shoes, walking boots and mountain boots, each suitable for different terrains and activities. The fit is also important and the shoe should fit well, neither too tight nor too loose. The sole of the hiking boot influences traction and durability, with a treaded rubber sole recommended for good grip and protection from sharp objects. Finally, the choice of material between waterproof and breathable can vary depending on the conditions and weather on the hike. Quality hiking gear also includes professional hiking socks for added stability.
Overall, choosing the right hiking boot is an individual decision that depends on personal preferences and the planned activities. It is advisable to seek expert advice in a specialist shop and try out different models to find the perfect shoe. After all, a well-fitting hiking shoe can make the difference between a carefree hiking experience and discomfort on the trail.
The technology behind waterproof hiking boots: dry feet in all weathers
The technology behind waterproof hiking boots has revolutionised the way we enjoy the outdoors in all weathers, allowing us to experience dry feet and comfort even in wet conditions. The key to their waterproofness lies in a special membrane that is integrated into the construction of the shoe. This membrane is designed to be microporous. These tiny pores are small enough to keep water out from the outside, but at the same time allow water vapour to escape from the inside (sweat), creating a balance between waterproofness and breathability. In addition, seams and joints are carefully sealed to prevent water penetration in the most critical areas.
Overall, a membrane is a crucial component when you are hiking in snow, mud or other wet conditions, as it ensures that your feet stay dry and protected.

Care of waterproof hiking boots
Taking care of your waterproof hiking boots is crucial to ensure their longevity and performance. After a hike through wet or muddy terrain, you should clean the shoes thoroughly by tapping off coarse dirt and then wiping with a damp cloth. Be sure to loosen the laces to also clean the tongue and the area around the eyelets. Dry the shoes slowly at room temperature, never under direct heat such as sunlight or a fan heater as this can damage the material. To maintain the water-repellent function, you should regularly treat your shoes with a suitable waterproofing spray. This not only protects against moisture, but also significantly extends the life of your waterproof hiking boots.
