Can anyone recommend the best socks to wear when wearing hiking boots?

Hiking Lady commented on 15 May 2015

+Copulaxoxi Ranbooi I've reviewed a whole lotta socks on the Hiking Lady website. I like a combination of a liner sock and thick outer sock. Check out Hiking Lady.com, then Hiking 101: Boots: Sock & Sock Liners //hikinglady.com/the-gear/boots/socks-sock-liners/

How the hell do you keep the tongue centered in work-and/or combat boots which don't have that stupid tennis shoe loop attached to tongue?

PhlashRockinmann commented on 08 Apr 2015

I hadn't thought of that bit. Only of getting the loop sewn on the tongue, but the tongue-stitching idea sounds better. I wonder how expensive it is.Thanks for responding! God bless.

Hiking Lady commented on 07 Apr 2015

Great question Phlash.  A lot of hiking boots have gusseted tongues, so that avoids the problem.  As far as work/combat boots that don't have the tennis shoe loop or a gusseted tongue, you should consider taking your boots to a shoe cobbler to have them stitched on one side so they will stay centered.  I have friends who have done this, and as long as the stitch is done on the seam, it won't be noticed and it will solve the problem.  Plus if you change the lace in the future, it won't interfere if you have the stitch done on the seam. Good luck!

yah i hate the generalization of sizing up for me I like the dexterity on rock while climbing or scrambling which you loose by sizing up.. also I run my boots looser on the climb then cinch them snug going down also the softer the boot, the closer true to size it can be, compared to a fully rigid mountaineering boot where people go 1 or 2 full sizes bigger

Beautiful boots unlike the rubbish they make today.

Craig Shipp commented on 14 Dec 2015

For sure!

Hi mate, thanks for the video. I have a pair of Scarpa SLs that I bought in London in 2001, just before they introduced the M3 model. It is of similar construction to your Asolo, heavy duty leather and soles stiff enough for crampons. They are rock solid! As for leather treatment, I have used Dubbin (an Australian brand) and recently, Montana Pitch Blend. Both excellent for the boots. Btw, I like to leave the boots in the sun prior to treatment to open the pores in the leather as it helps absorption. Cheers!

Craig Shipp commented on 15 Oct 2015

+harnamthandi good tips!

streetpunk99 commented on 16 Dec 2009

alot of times alot of stores like rei have people working there that dont know much. I wouldnt take what they say very seriously. i have gotten bad advice from them more than once. As for your boot problem look for a boot that has a deep set lace eyelit. the one thats about even with your ankle ball. A deep eyelit will lock your heel into the heel cup better. Also try Duct tape directly on your heel, i do this, and never had a blister. search "nutnfancy" he has a great boot review.

slodeth5 commented on 25 Jan 2010

I haven't used a pair of heavy weight leather boots for some time, even for winter travel up to three days. Running shoes do it for me now and there's almost no break in required. My packs are now twenty to twenty five pounds with food and water and no one should be carrying more than this if they get away from shop-philosophy. Still, there are real needs for heavy shoes, but not for most peoples hiking needs.

streetpunk99 commented on 16 Dec 2009

carry a pack or any decent amount of weight around on your shoulders wearing tennis shoes and you'll awnser your own question. major lack of support, no foot shank for protection against rocks or whatnot, plus low cut shoes let all kinds of crap down in your shoe and its alloying to have to stop and clean your shoes out constantly. I wouldnt reccomend any kind of tennis shoes, but im not expert.

kingsnorky commented on 29 Mar 2009

Soaking leather boots to break them in will damage them! Most new leather boots from the best manufacturers(Meindl, Scarpa, Zamberlan, etc...) dont need much breaking in as long as they fit properly. Better to go to a good outdoor shop with an expert boot fitter and spend a bit more for a pair that will last longer than a cheap pair of boots that has to be damaged in order to get them to fit.

Joaquin Avaria commented on 12 Jul 2009

You must get a very comfortable boot (like Asolo TPS 520) and then tie the laces tight enough that your feet is not sliding to the front an then removing your heel from the back of the shoe causing blisters. Besides, you must walk how often as you can, this will begin to develop callouses in your feet that will help you in long walks avoiding blisters to develop From Chile Joaquin

QuietBearr commented on 04 Mar 2009

Have you ever noticed that when your leather boots get wet and then dry they are really stiff? In order to use water you have to wet them then keep them in constant motion while they dry, even more so than just walking in them, you really need to break them in. In addition you need to use warm water. In my opinion, it is better to just use a softner agent and a little wear.

Debunk Brother commented on 28 Mar 2013

Duct tape is a good tip. I use zinc tape stuck onto any part of my foot that is getting a bit hot and might become a blister. Zinc tape is cheap and small and sticks for days and days without loosening like or dropping off like band aids do.

QuietBearr commented on 03 Mar 2009

Actually, (well, I guess you dont know anything about leather, but) getting the leather wet and having them dry on your feet will actually re-set all the breaking in that has been done. Yea, not a smart move.

goldenscales commented on 07 Mar 2009

I've always broke in new boots by putting on, then submerging in water, then when saturated, gone for a long walk. Each pair have moulded to my feet, and have been comfortable to wear.

Deltamike23 commented on 17 Feb 2012

I bought lowa hiking boot but my big touches slighly on the from of the boot while i walk, its a very confortable boot but is it going to cause pain in a big hiking trip?

buddydog1956 commented on 13 Jan 2010

....after you get your foot in, place one finger for the final fit....and then step in dogshit...then throw the shoes away!!!

Shannon commented on 06 Mar 2009

Dude I just read that on various websites as how to break in leather boots. I haven't acutally done it myself!

Shannon commented on 09 Feb 2009

wear the leather boots in the rain and let them dry on your feet. or better yet buy some leather softener.

Shaine MacDonald commented on 04 Mar 2009

That's what the old timers used to do with leather boots though..so ShannonVenasse was right about that.
