Looking good in your hiking boots
2.6.2017
Translation: machine translated
Shoes are a hiker's most important piece of equipment. They must be comfortable, hold the foot and be adapted to the expectations and needs of your hikes.
When buying a hiking boot or multifunctional shoe, the following selection criteria are important:
Brands such as Salomon, Mammut, Meindl, Merell and Salea use Goretex membranes, Keen and Columbia have their own brand with Keen Dry and Outdry.
Using the above criteria, we suggest a few products - for your next weekend hike, trek or high-altitude expedition.
For hiking and everyday use
Hiking boots are a rugged alternative to sports shoes. However, they provide more support and grip. In general they are made from water-repellent and breathable materials.
For demanding treks
For demanding mountain hikes and treks, with heavy rucksacks among other things, you need a trekking boot that has deep crampons. Shoes often have a waterproof membrane and good cushioning, and are made of nylon or leather. In addition, they have a stabilising upper that provides enough grip and hold.

My partner for mountain trails or rough terrain
The Train shoe from Salewa is extremely light, stable, has good grip and is colourful. A sports shoe just the way I like them.

sylvia.matitschka@digitecgalaxus.chFor me, sport is passion, joy and recharging my batteries at the same time. In my free time you can find me outside training, on the tennis court, on the slopes with my board or surfing in the waves.
As product manager for the outdoor sector, I can thus fully live out my enthusiasm for the world of sport in my job.
