The terrain is not too uneven but you are faced with the roots of the many trees that you need to carefully navigate through. Whenever you are hiking, footwear must always be of great importance. Hiking in the incorrect footwear will discourage you. You are going to experience discomfort in your feet and that is never pleasant. We strongly encourage you to ensure that you are always well equipped and that you have the necessary hike vitals for a hike. Hike vitals: Sun hat, sunblock, hiking stick, nutritional hike snacks, water, isotonic, hiking boots and socks. A great tip to protect your feet from blisters is to rub vaseline on your feet and toes before wearing your socks.

We are grateful for our Merrell hiking boots that have proven to be comfortable and provide great grip on the rough terrains. It does give you the feeling that you are safe on the trail.

I struggle with flat, broad feet and collapsed arches which ultimately means that my feet will be in pain but my Erie Mid, Leather Waterproof hiking boot from Merrell Footwear has been a great support to me on my hiking journey.
