Go Hiking In A Pair Of Safety Shoes (Part 2)

As you already know from my last post, I am a very passionate and long-time hiker, as hiking has helped me to take my fitness level more seriously and improve my perseverance and stamina while keeping me in good shape and improving my sleep quality. Also, I feel that hiking is a moody part of life as I can enjoy the many sights along the way that are different from the high-rise buildings.

I also mentioned that because walking for long periods of time can actually be stressful for your feet, safety shoes are a must if you hike a lot. And if you happen to encounter bad weather during your hike, you also need your shoes to be somewhat waterproof. For women in particular, a fine pair of safety shoes for women will make your hike more comfortable. So, let's take a look at some tips for choosing safety shoes for hiking.

Choose safety shoes in a larger size

Unlike everyday life, where shoe sizes are always just right, hiking shoes and safety shoes for hikers should have a margin of error, i.e. they should be half a size larger.
Simply put, this is because the foot expands when walking long distances. In addition, when walking downhill, the foot often lurches forward and a shoe that is just right will push against the toes, whereas a shoe that is one or half sizes larger will have room for cushioning at the front, thus reducing the damage to the toes.
In addition, when choosing matching outdoor socks, choose slightly thicker cotton socks to fill the gap between the shoe and the foot, which will help prevent blisters on the feet. Cotton socks will help to absorb sweat and remove moisture.

It is best to choose safety shoes with waterproof features

For longer trips, it is advisable to choose waterproof safety shoes. In the wild, especially in alpine environments, the weather can be unpredictable. This is the time to think about climate change. Choose a pair of hiking shoes that are waterproof, preferably with a waterproof lining. A couple of pairs of socks that conduct sweat and moisture will work best together.

Pay attention to the slip resistance of your safety footwear

Slip resistance is one of the basic characteristics of outdoor footwear and an important indicator of the performance of a pair of shoes. To address the issue of slip resistance on the sole, shoe manufacturers have made many designs in patterns as well as rubber surfaces to give outdoor shoes better slip resistance and more stability for walking, thus reducing injuries.
