Benefits of the high shank hiking shoe
One of the main advantages of the high-stem hiking shoe will be its foot support and ankle support, it will help prevent twisting the ankles.
ankles a little fragile or if is prone to sprains even when loaded with a heavy backpack, you will see downhill and there will be no worries, you can put your feet where you want limited without looking and you have no fear.
Me, who has a tendency to accumulate a little sprains, I can say that when I wear this type of shoe I can limit going down with my eyes closed, so it's still rather comfortable especially at the end of the day when you already have 15 or 20 km of walk and it is quite relaxing.
Second big advantage of the high shoe, it will be its protection against the cold, you can imagine that you will have warmer, a style of shoe than in a thing based.
Only if the materials used for high shoes are much stiffer and thicker materials.
Disadvantage of hiking boots
Small inconvenience, obviously if you are a little too hot in this type of shoe, the humidity will have difficulty in evacuating, especially if you have shoes with a gore-tex coating.
So as a aside on the gore-tex coating, it's a membrane that is super effective in preventing water from entering normally and it still allows humidity to come out.
But necessarily between gore-tex shoes and not gore-tex:
Those which are in gore-tex will still evaluate humidity less well so in case of hot weather you risk having a little wet feet inside, you have to be careful because that's how it is. we tend to get blisters.
This type of shoe protects better from the cold but also from the water, inevitably with this type of shoes you will be able to walk in puddles of water, pass a stream, walk in the snow, without worry you will have your feet that will stay in the water. dry, provided you have the gore-tex membrane.
Main disadvantages on the other hand, inevitably it is something which weighs its weight to more than 500 grams.
Another disadvantage that I have not mentioned is the sole is also much more rigid than a low shoe, obviously you can see it in the course of the step, necessarily feel a difference compared to low shoes but this is still something that remains quite comfortable.
Use these shoes they will be preferred if you go for long hikes or especially if you go for hikes charging, kit a backpack with all its sound Equipment: bivouac, tent canvas, sleeping bags, stove etc ...
It's that you have ten to fifteen kilos on your back, if in addition to me you tend to have a little fragile ankles, I recommend the shoes that I presented to you, there without hesitation because with shoes low at the end of the day you see the feet going in all directions, especially having the weight on your back is very pleasant.
