Make sure you dont buy shoes or boots that are too short, so that your toes run into the front of the boots, or too big, so that you get blisters. Look for a pair that fits snugly but still allows some wiggle room for your toes. These tips can help:Go shopping late in the day or after youve walked a considerable distance; thats when your feet are most likely to be swollen, the way theyll be after a few miles on the trail.Wear the same socks while trying on shoes or boots that you plan to wear while hiking.Dont get caught up in numerical sizes. These differ greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer and even from style to style within the same companys line. Its not unusual for hiking shoes to run a full size larger than dress shoes, for example.Put a boot on, but dont lace it up. Stand up and tap the toe of the boot on the ground to slide your feet all the way to the front. If you can just fit your finger down the back of the boot behind your heel, its probably a good length.
