Thread: Whats your hunting footwear????

I personally feel that you don't need big ass high-top boots for ankle support carrying a pack ect. They are for toeing in on big alpine steep shit or sidling also on said steep shit. I had a pair of big all terrain boots but never wore them, the lighter boots are just way more comfortable. Part of my gym routine includes strengthening and working my feet and ankles, something I think a lot of people neglect. You don't need extra strapping or anything unless you already have an issue or atrophy in the ankle or foot area.

For NI bush most hiking style mids will be sweet. I use an 'Approach' (Salewa Firetail) style boot which are a cross between a hiking boot and a climbing shoe, they have a bit of support but are still nimble and soft enough for sneaky pete'in.
The Solomon GTX's are popular as well.

If you allready have trail runners, nothing to stop you using those, plenty of people hike in them
