What's a good hiking boot for me?

That depends on the kind of hiking you'll be doing -- the terrain and distance you'll typically cover and the amount of protection from the elements you'll need. For most light hiking on smooth trails, you're likely to be happiest with a pair of what's called "day hikers," a slightly more rugged version of the sneakers you wear for running or walking. For longer trips, uneven trails, or hikes that require you to carry extra weight on your back, you're better off with a higher, stiffer boot containing a hard plastic or steel shank. This keeps the boot from twisting and gives your feet and ankles more stability. Lightweight boots constructed of nylon or other synthetics are generally fine for short backpacking trips or long day hikes.

Does it matter what brand I buy or how much I pay?
