Start by investing in proper footwear! You can find an all-around hiking boot that are useful in the beginning. When you become a more eager hiker, you need hiking boots with hard soles for rock ground, softer shoes for Danish hikes and boots for the winter. We also have sandals, but we do not use them very often.
Både Tessa og Klaus er vilde med det tyske mærke Meindl, hvor vi har både sko og støvler fra. Skoene er i brun læder og er ikke specielt kønne – minder lidt om skolesko fra 1950’erne – men de er fantastiske at vandre i. Vi bruger dem året rundt, hvis der er plusgrader.
Et andet brand, som vi har virkelig gode erfaringer med, er Salomon. Det er en vandresko, hvor der er mange varianter og i varierende prisklasser. Samtidig er flere af dem virkelig pæne at se på og det løfter jo også oplevelsen 😉
Tessa has the leather boots Courteney Safari, and they are great for hiking. The manufacturer is so certain about the quality that they give 10 years of guarantee. A boot for the nerdy hiker.
People often forget to invest in a good pair of socks. It makes a big difference and if you are already investing in a good pair of boots, you would want to have great socks as well. Great socks can absorb sweat and support the places on the foot where it is easy to get blisters. Read more about socks under Clothing.
When you have finished your hike, give yourself the luxury of keeping a pair of flip flops in your car for the ride home.
