A tutorial on the Pros and Cons of a Hiking Shoe and a Hiking Boot. Information on which one might be a better fit for you. Dirty Girl Gaiters (dirtygirlgaiter.com )
56! You have my respect!!!! I'm turning 40 this year and I'm planning to go on my first backpacking trip for my birthday (I've done day hikes before, but not backpacking!). Better later than never! :-))
I think that is great. Good for you. Please let me know how it went. I plan on promoting and making videos on day hikes. Remember Su, Backpacking trips are just day hikes that you sleep over night on.
I've had a pair of keen targee ii for 6 years. They have been glued and reglued. It is not that I can't afford a new pair, but they fit my surgically reconstructed feet. I love my boots, and wouldn't use a hiking shoes because of the ankle support. I am old. lol
I have a pair of boots that I just resoled. Had them for 12 years now. Once you break in a pair of boots that fits like a glove. They worth their weight in gold. Thank you for watching music ffan 18. I really appreciate it.
That's some solid advice not googling 'dirty girls' most of all if the wife is around. And if you do erase your browse history or the choice between boots and trainrunners might not be your only problem. LOL I totally agree with the difference you explained about the two models and the weight you're going to carry does make a big difference. Also remember that having weak ankles can also be caused by wearing boots all the time during every day life so only get that support when you really need it. If you are not going for brand specific (the more famous brands) trail runners will cost about the same as a running shoe. I even hike on flip flops and always bring a pair for at camp and doing river crossings. With boots being far more expensive (from the famous brands that make them) I switched to work boots years ago and never looked back. A 100 dollars will get you a top notch working boot or a low quality hiking boot from the famous brands. Just my 2 cents. And I'm 57 and still hike and do all the stuff. Age doesn't matter that much. Good footwear does.
Wow! I loved that little tid-bit that you put on screen that you would go through 4 pair of hiking boots/shoes doing an AT thru hike! I would never have thought of such a thing. Something to consider for the hike budget and breaking them in before embarking on the hike! Thanks!
As a 70+ guy I can confirm, 2 trekking poles and good insoles are a must! Due to flat feet and over pronating I developed plantar fasciitis. My physical therapist fitted me with orthotic insoles and I was good to go.
As a 70 year old and new to backpacking I concur with trekking poles and good shoes/insoles. Stretching can solve most plantar fasciitis. Search UA-cam for videos, they have helped me overcome it.
Nice video. For longer backpacking I like lighter (1 to 2 pounds) faster-drying boots with more synthetic than leather, and carry trail runners in my pack to have another option or change it up and let the boots air out or dry. I’ve enjoyed your videos. Thanks, and happy trails!
So far the trail runners have been working pretty well me. One trip I did get caught in a snow storm with them. Luckily I had an extra pair of wool socks and a pair of crocs to put on when we got into camp. But there are times you definitely need a good pair of boots. Thank you for watching Havanorange. I really appreciate it.
I know what you mean, I tried Soloman, Oboz, Merrell, and finally came down tho New Balance! I've got flat feet too, but have to have absolutely no arch support! Also, when my feet went flat, they grew longer by 3 sizes (from 11 1/2 to 14) and went from C width to EE! Also, love Dirty Girls Gaiters but you're right, you might want to post a link to them on here as it's hard to find the right site. I use New Balance waterproof boots in the winter as I'm not going to put up with soaked feet in freezing temps but love trail runners any other time and using ankle support a lot is a good way to get weak ankles.
When buying a hiking pole. Make sure that it is well built. Do not worry about the weight. The ultra light poles will easily brake if you put to much weight on them. Which can cause boldly harm and or ruin a trip. I like a cork handle for the hot sweaty months. The ones that I use are the Black Diamond Flint Lock. I have had these for about 5 years now and they have saved me many times from injuries.
I"m curious as to how the hiking shoes worked on Isle Royale. Lots of roots over rock and crags on that island. I had a problem with a thin sole not giving enough protection to my feet when I was there.
They worked great. But it is important to have a good insole (Super feet ). When the shoes get wet . You pull out the insoles. And they dry very quickly. I will not put on the hiking boots till the snow comes. I just came off the Border Route Trail. Which is much tougher terrain.
I did the AT back in 83. Thru-hike. I started off with a load of crap I didn't need and wound up sending a lot of it home. Had a pair of Vasque boots that cost me about $300. Got rid of them before I even made it to the Smokies. Went into town and got me a pair of Kmart Trax. $15.00. Bought two more pair of them before making it to Mt. Kataden. After the heavy boots, the Trax felt like I had nothing on. Very light. Just not so durable, but hey, for $15 bucks Not a problem to replace.
I remember back in the '60s and 70's when growing up. I would try to go all of those summers without wearing any type of footwear. Barefoot. By the time school would start. The bottoms of my feet were as black as tar. Plus, I could have walked over a pile of nails. And not feel a thing. Now when I walk barefoot. I'm limping in pain. No naked and afraid for me.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Rodger that! My feet get scared just walking to the bathroom in the night. It's not easy finding a sweet spot with backpacking footwear. Different terrain does different things to your gear. The rocks through Pennsylvania destroyed my Kmart runners. But walking through the first part of the AT was a breeze.
I really like the Ultras trail runners. Which has a large toe box. The one's that I am using now are the Mountain Kings. I am getting close to getting a new pair. Thank you Wildo for watching. Much appreciated.
To be honest with you, I would still go with a good pair of Trail Runners. I have two hip replacements. Like a damaged fibula, we have to watch out for the impact of our feet hitting the ground. So this is what I would do . I would go to a big box store, say like REI. You don't go there with a certain brand in mind. I would try EVERY ONE that they have, put them on, and walk around the store. Then narrow down to two or three. Now the next step is very important. Grab a pair of socks there that you are going to be wearing. I suggest light wight wool socks. Then grab a pair of Superfeet full length insole, they have many different ones. And go through the process of trying each one on with the Trail Runner that you like. Take out the insole that comes with the Trail Runner and put in the Superfeet. When you find which is the most comfortable. Make sure they are not tight. Then buy that Trail Runner and that Superfeet, and toss the insole that comes with the Trail Runner. Your feet and your fibula will love you. One other thing that is very important. A good pail of hiking sticks.
i was looking around at different shoes at a local store and there was a pair of boots that weigh 2.5lbs for a pair and there breathable. what do you think about that kind of shoe?
Try them with a pair of socks that you would be hiking with. Make sure that there is plenty of room in the toe area. Then walk around the store, for a long time . If they are not to tight and feel good while walking, and you are happy with them. Then buy them. Make sure you wear them on your feet, all around ( even at work if you can ) to break them in before you take them on a hike.
I disagree with "take the shoe that works for you" because shoes are made to be sold, and what sells is less break-in period and comfy right out of the box. This quality may compromise the durability and, in turn, the sustainability plus your economy. A good example of this is the trend towards boots having a gore-tex lining inside of the boot, which generally will not last as long as the leather on the outside, if treated properly. Its a luxurious thing to have, but it will probably only last you for five years if you use them a lot. It seems this technology is something people put on their checklist, together with vibram soles, to evaluate if a pair of boots are high quality, but the vibram sole is also manufactured to give grip (softness) to a certain preference of low durability. This is a general trend that consumers and retailers are not so keen on having their attention focused on.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Hard to change such an ingrained structure though. I've heard that the norwegian hiker, adventurer and general outdoor dude called Lars Monsen usually just rip out the gore tex when he buys a new pair of boots. Haha. This guy has walked across Canada and stuff like that.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine thank you 😊 I am from Europe, but now staying in India, near Himalayas, also a jungle near home. I am thinking what shoes better to buy. Snakes might be here also, but not often. Many scorpions. Should I buy high calf boots (for example 8 inches high) to protect from snakes? And is it better if shoes/boots will be with stiched soles? Rarely we can find these stiched, but there are few options.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine today I went to one tourist village in India. Usually in India in remote places it is difficult to find high quality items, but by much luck I hope I found only one pair of shoes my size (indian feet are small, mine is 45 EU, this is very rare in India). I tried the shoes and I liked them. Shoes were 46, a bit big with cotton normal socks, but I took also my grandma's made woolen socks, with them size was good, I don't know will I have problems because of this bigger size. Price was kind of low. I checked that these shoes came from US, Clorts. I wanted to buy Lowa shoes in same shop, but there was not size, those Lowa shoes I saw some my friends were using, so thought that it is good. So I took risk and bought Clorts. On internet found that it is waterproof and breathable, some special material uneebtex membrane. What do you think? clorts.com/products/clorts-waterproof-lightweight-hiking-boots-hkm-823
Most companies will offer a water proof boot. I have waded in small creeks up to my ankles with out my feet getting wet. A big problem is when they do get wet inside. They are tough to dry. I like to use boots in cold wet conditions. Otherwise I will always use trail runners. Light weight and when you take the insoles out when they get wet. They dry very quickly.
There is misconception that wearing a boot is good for people with "weak ankles" and another that you can't roll your ankle in a boot. My physiotherapist says that current consensus is that people that wear high boots long term end up with weaker ankles and have more ankle injuries.
Almost in every situation. I will always wear wool. It is antibacterial and antimicrobial. It holds body heat when it's wet and wicks moisture away. Thank you for watching i am groot. I really appreciate it.
Well after 4 back surgeries on my spine I am not too worried about speed hiking. But I do worry about good solid footing and support plus I have been a lifelong avid hunter and very use to wearing hunting boots. Given the fact that trail runners wear out so quick compared to a pair of boots this is a very easy call for me too make.
I have never tried them. So I can not give you a honest answer. Always try them on and walk around the store before you buy them. Never buy hiking shoes or boots on-line unless you have tried them on. Thank you for watching ice three.
Please help! My new boots (Hanwag Tatra II) broke in way more than I thought they would and now the back of my heel moves a lot even with the thickest socks. Is there any way, except adding new insoles or lacing techniq, to fix that problem? If not, will a new insole, be a good solution? Any help or advice, will be much appriciated, because I don't have more money to buy new boots or shoes. also I was saving for months,to get the best I could. Thanks in advance.
The cheapest way is using double-sided tape I the heel area of the boot. Another, believe it or not, is using hair spray. It will allow your feet to become sticky. Otherwise a non-slip insole. These will help you temporarily till you can afford a new pair. I hope this will help you. Thank you for watching Greek Veteran. I really appreciate it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Thanks for the response! I will also order some better and thicker insoles, with a bit more cushioning.that will help bring at least half a size down the boots, to make them fit better.At the moment, Im going to try the double-side tape trick! Thank you very much for helping me!!
I have been wearing boots for over 50 years. There nothing like a good pair of boots , on a wet and muddy day. Especially if you have weak or bad ankles. Thanks Megan, for all your help.
lmfao... I go barefoot. No seriously, I go barefoot whenever I can. Summer or winter. If we were meant to wear shoes we would be born with them. I have bought hiking shoes/boots and one thing nobody has ever said is that they are fat and clunky and cut off circulation. I just did. Barefoot all the way!!!!

With winter time now. Most definitely boots.
Those boots look really uncomfortable. You should get some merrell boots or Salomon. Theyre the best hiking boots imo. Like a mix of shoes and boot
They are very comfortable. Never had a blister. But they are very heavy. Thank you for watching burnsybros.
Personally I like the boots. More support for my ankle.
I have been wearing boots for over 50 years. There nothing like a good pair of boots , on a wet and muddy day. Especially if you have weak or bad ankles. Thanks Megan, for all your help.
Where are you from that accent?
Minnesota.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine thought so
No. Youll hike farther n longer with the boot.
Boots will last 5 times longer then the hiking shoes. And some cases. Even longer. Thank you Dave for watching. I really appreciate it.
Where would we be without the Marines??? God Bless the Marines!!!
God Bless you John Doe.
Boots
Especially in the winter.
I'm a boot guy
Thank you for watching River Rooney. I am definitely a boot guy at -30.
