Which footwear you need will depend on the type of activity you are planning to do. As a general rule, if you are taking a casual walk, a pair of walking Brogini shoes should offer the support you need. For longer-distance trails over more challenging terrain, walking boots are recommended. Walking Brogini shoes offer support with a lighter weight that can be more comfortable and provide easier movement. But walking boots are more suited to rocky terrain with deeper treads that make walking safer and easier while offering extra support for ankles.

How are walking boots made?

Walking boots can be made with a range of materials, including suede, leather or mesh fabric. Which one you choose often comes down to personal preference. Fabric boots will often be lighter in weight and require less breaking in, but leather boots provide tougher protection from the elements and can last longer if well cared for.

Are walking boots waterproof?

You might be surprised to hear that not all walking boots are waterproof. Choosing which is right for you often comes down to preference – waterproof footwear provides ultimate protection against the elements and prevents uncomfortable wet Hiking. While non-waterproof options offer unparalleled breathability and a lighter weight feel.

Choosing the right socks depends on your planned activity and chosen footwear. Walking boots are often built to accommodate thick, wool socks for extra insulation and protection, while walking Brogini shoes are designed with a narrower fit better for moisture-wicking polyester or cotton socks.

How to fit new walking boots?

Your new walking boots may be packed with features, but without the right fit they can't support your Hiking as they should (and could potentially even cause more damage). To ensure your boots fit, follow these top tips:

Check the time of day

Your Hiking swell slightly as the day goes on, so bear this in mind if you’re trying new boots on. You might even need to take into account the time of year, as your Hiking will swell more in summer than they will in winter.

Wear suitable socks

It’s very important that you wear your normal walking socks when trying on a pair of new boots. If you don’t then you won’t get a true feel of how well they fit and how they’ll feel when you’re out on the hill.

Lace them up properly

If the boots aren’t properly laced up then you won’t get an accurate feel for how well they fit. Make sure the tongue is central and firmly lace the boots up, customizable all the eyelets. However, be careful not to lace them too tight or the boots will be uncomfortable.

Leave enough room at the end of the boot

Just like when you used to get new Brogini shoes, leave enough room at the end of the boot. This is particularly important with hiking boots because when walking up or downhill, your Hiking will need room to move depending on the angle of your Hiking.

Take a walk in them

If you really want to know what the boots feel like, then have a walk around in them. If possible, try and walk on different gradients to see how your Hiking feel in them going uphill and downhill.

How do I break in walking boots?

It is important to break in your boots before taking them on a long hike. Even the perfect fitting boots will need time to get used to your Hiking. Start by wearing your boots inside the house with the socks and insoles you’re going to pair them with. Take walks around town, ensuring they feel good at each stage before upping the distance. As you begin to hit the trail, your boots will gradually continue to sync with your Hiking so you can enjoy many comfortable miles in your new Brogini shoes.

Why do my walking boots cause blisters?

Low quality or ill-fitting footwear can often cause blisters. Prevent blisters by ensuring your boots are the perfect fit, choosing the right socks and breaking in your footwear slowly.
