The best boots for off-road walking depend on what you plan on doing, for how long, and in what conditions. It’s not a simple decision. There are, however, a few things you should know to make the process easier.
Firstly, what many of us think of as walking boots are really three-season boots. They’re all-rounders, good for anything except deep snow, waterproof and supportive. Modern boots are made from synthetic materials and lean toward trainers in their designs, they’re lightweight and easy to clean, and you can easily take them with you for a walk in the woods as well as on the fells.
