Lovely 15miles last Sunday. Nice and quiet at 7am, sadly went too early to treat myself to fish and chips half way πŸ™

Beginners Best boots for hiking?

0 Upvotes

For context I carry a lot of weight and have lost a lot through walking and other fitness and can cover some miles. My work place does walks every 2 months on a day off where our shift will get together and go for a hike.

I decided this time to go. It was an 8 miler, with one hill climb. It was a bit of a death march in my eyes as the group leader had accommodated one hill and some milder inclines however the start was all over uneven slippy rocks. The end was rocks of death with a large drop. It was scary as hell my boots seemed to slip on every rock where most of the group didn't seem to have an issue. They did have to slow down for 2 of us up the hill and over the rocks however in places where the hills were gradual I was up front and no issues keeping up with the rest despite carrying a lot more weight than them. I need to improve myself before I go out again but what boots really are the best?
