Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between trekking and hiking?
Hiking means walking on marked trails, usually for a day out. Trekking involves several days of self-sufficient travel over more demanding terrain, often in the mountains, which calls for sturdier boots and better ankle support.
What's the best trekking boot?
There's no one-size-fits-all model: the best boot is the one suited to your terrain, your load and your foot shape. For a long, technical trek, go for a high-cut leather boot with a waterproof membrane.
What's the difference between walking shoes and hiking boots?
A walking shoe is designed for urban comfort or easy paths. A hiking boot offers a lugged sole, enhanced grip and protection against stones - essential when you're out in the mountains.
Low-cut or high-cut boots for beginners?
For day walks on waymarked trails, a lightweight low-cut boot is all you need. Switch to a high-cut boot as soon as the terrain gets rougher or your rucksack tips the scales at a few kilos.
Do you need a waterproof boot all year round?
No. Waterproofing is a real asset in winter, in the rain or snow, but it reduces breathability. In summer, a breathable model keeps your feet cooler.
