Beating up Leatherwood Creek.
When May fades from the calendar, hiking options start to dwindle a bit. Trails get overgrown; June’s heat and humidity become overbearing; snakes and poison ivy grace the land; and clouds of gnats who know not Deet rise from the febrile valley floor.

Although hiking doesn’t necessarily require a great deal of equipment one item that is crucial to your enjoyment is a good pair of hiking boots. A good pair of hiking boots will give you comfortable support and provide the traction that you need for even the trickiest of surfaces. A bad pair of boots however can make a day’s hiking sheer misery.
Hiking over any distance puts a great deal of stress on your feet and ankles, which is transmitted upward to the legs and affects your back and indeed your whole body. Although most people think in terms of bad boots giving you blisters, the real problem is not the possibility of blisters but a lack of good solid support.
A good pair of boots will provide both the stiffness and springiness that your foot and ankle need. You need to be able to press off the ground, whatever the surface, with confidence and know that your boots will support you. Without this support, sore feet and ankles, or even twisted ankles, are virtually guaranteed.
Many boots today are made from a variety of specialized materials but, perhaps surprisingly, leather is still a large component of really good hiking boots. It’s no accident that leather has been used for many years in the manufacture of shoes and boots and is still used today because it is tough, water-resistant (when treated), has good stiffness and excellent moisture and thermal properties.
When we talk about comfort it’s easy to substitute the word luxury these days but, when it comes to hiking boots, comfort is a necessity rather than a luxury. You need to be able to walk long distances without producing blisters or chafing and you need to be able to wear your boots for long periods of time without moisture building-up or excessive heat or cold becoming a problem.
Buy a pair of hiking boots that feel right for your feet and that doesn’t simply mean buying boots that are the right size. Get boots that feels good the minute you put them on and don’t be fooled by the old adage that ‘they’re bound to feel a little uncomfortable until you break them in’. Boots will of course wear in, but if they don’t feel right when you buy them then they will rarely feel right later on.
Bear in mind too that hiking boots are not shoes. They should feel stiff and have little give on the outer sole and around the ankle if they are to do the job that they’re designed to do.
You’ll be scrambling over wet rocks, slippery gravel, flaking hills and muddy trails and, while no boot can cope perfectly with every eventuality, a good pair of hiking boots will come pretty close.
Modern well-designed hiking boots will utilize various materials and geometries to minimize slippage on wet rocks and maximize sticking power on flaking hill grades and Vibram lugs with some kind of tread should be a minimum requirement. These look a little bit like car tires, but with a little more plastic and a little less rubber.
There are of course other things that you should look out for, such as gusseted tongues that keep out stones and grit, but the major features covered here will provide you with an excellent starting point. The really serious hiker will probably possess several pairs of boots to cope with different forms of hiking but for the novice one good sound pair of boots will do for starters and, if you buy wisely, they should last you for many years.
