Hiking boot

Hiking (walking) boots are footwear specifically designed for protecting the feet and ankles during outdoor walking activities such as hiking. They are one of the most important items of hiking gear since their quality and durability can determine a hiker's ability to walk long distances without injury. Hiking boots are constructed to provide comfort for walking considerable distances over rough terrain.

Boots that protect the hiker's feet and heel are recommended.
Hiking boots give ankle support and are fairly stiff.
A less popular alternative is to use light trainers with thin soles.
