How to choose your hiking boots?

To choose the right hiking boots, it is important to take into account the difficulty of the terrain and the length of time you plan to walk. 

Low or high shoes?

For a walk lasting a few hours with no change in altitude, choose low mountain boots that allow for freedom of movement. Light, comfortable and breathable, they are flexible and suitable for varied terrain. For a trek, a day hike or several days, opt for mountain hiking boots that are both rigid and robust. They provide excellent ankle support, stability and protection.
