Helpful information about hiking shoes rental in Bled
What kind of shoes are best for hiking?
There are many different types of hiking shoes, and choosing the right pair depends on your specific needs and intended use.
- 🥾Low-cut hiking shoes for light day walks in the lower parts of the mountains. These hiking shoes usually have good traction but do not protect your ankle. Therefore, they are not suitable for high-altitude mountains where you can easily sprain your ankle.
- 🥾Mid to high-cut model trekking shoes are suitable for longer hikes. They offer enough support for tired feet if you take a multi-day hike. This type of model is also suitable for short hikes on rocky terrain.
- 🥾Mountaineering shoes are made especially for mountaineering on rocky, snowy, or icy terrain. The high cut offers excellent support around the ankle.
How do you know the hiking shoes fit you?
Hiking shoes should fit comfortably all around without being tight, and there should be enough space to wiggle your toes.
Here is some advice on how to try hiking shoes so you will choose the right ones:
- ✅Try on the shoes at the end of the day when your feet are swollen and typically at their largest.
- ✅Try them on with hiking socks (we recommend synthetic socks).
- ✅Once you put the shoes on, try to spend some time in them and walk around.
- ✅Wear hiking shoes for several short hikes before you decide to go on a long hike.
