Proper Footwear for the Fall 

Timberland
Picking proper footwear can be a daunting task especially when those boots can either make or break your hiking experience this fall season.  

Let us help you find your proper fit with some helpful tips prior to spending an afternoon trying on multiple boots that all start to blend together after a while. You should start by looking for boots that are light and comfortable while keeping your feet well-protected. Next determing the intended use; weather conditions, duration of hike, backpack load and expected terrain. Quality is a huge factor is picking the right footwear, compnies stand behind their brand a well-known boot means it has been tested over and over again. A cheap boot from an unknown company is a red flag.

These are only a few helpful hints to guide you in the right direction. For the full guide on picking proper footwear click here
