Frequently Asked Questions
Low-cut or high-cut boot for hiking?
Low-cut shoes are lighter and more flexible, ideal for day walks and light trekking on easy trails. High-cut boots offer better ankle support under a heavy load or on technical terrain. The right choice depends on the terrain and the weight you're carrying.
Is a low-cut shoe suitable for trekking?
Yes, for a light trek on easy, rolling trails without excessive weight, where its lightness is a real asset. For technical terrain, heavy loads or committing descents, a mid or high cut will offer more ankle support.
Should you choose a breathable low-cut shoe or a waterproof one?
It depends on the season: a breathable mesh upper is perfect in summer for letting heat escape, while a waterproof membrane keeps your feet dry in the mid-seasons and on wet terrain. Many men own a pair of each.
How to choose the right size for a low-cut shoe?
Try them on at the end of the day, when your feet are slightly swollen, wearing your hiking socks. Leave a bit of room in front of your toes for the downhill stretches - they shouldn't touch the front. Your heel should be held firmly in place to avoid rubbing.
