Hiking is a great way to exercise as well as enjoy the great outdoors, from exploring the local countryside to visiting National Parks and more challenging treks down valleys and up mountains.
It is an activity that can be enjoyed all year round and by all age groups, and with minimal equipment required it is a fun way to spend some time with family and friends.
Why do I need Walking Boot Insoles?
A good pair of hiking boots will include insoles as well as some support and cushioning. However, if you intend to go hiking on a regular basis or enjoy longer walks then it is recommended to use some specialised walking boot insoles.
Your feet can strike the ground thousands of times during a hike, and the foot will endure this burden straight from the ground. If foot muscles are fatigued and overstretched then the foot may not be able to absorb the burden properly, resulting in injuries or conditions such as plantar fasciitis.
In addition, after long-term walking excessive sweat and the friction between the skin and improper socks or blisters can lead to foot pain and blisters.
Walking boot insoles can provide cushioning, shock absorption and extra comfort, allowing you to enjoy longer walks and reducing the chance of incurring an injury.
They will help to maintain stability and balance during your walk, and can also help your walking boots to fit better, extending their lifespan and your enjoyment of the boots.
