I have been an avid hiker from a very young age. Growing up in South Wales in the U.K., I have never been too far away from a mountain, coastal trail, or forest path, and this has made for some very exciting (and very muddy) weekends.
This love of the great outdoors means I've been through more hiking boots and trail shoes than I care to admit. And yes, that means I have endured my fair share of twisted ankles, sore skin and blisters. But over the years, I have curated a list of methods that work every time to break in the boots and keep me blister-free.
