I didn’t realize how important it is to have the right shoes until I started walking. Wearing my flat, generic tennies just didn’t give me the support my body needs. Of course, as a teenager, I didn’t notice the toll it made on my body, but now I notice every strain on the bod. Once I got a really good pair of walking shoes, my back didn’t hurt, my feet weren’t stressed, and exercising wasn’t as much of burden.

Was planning to start hiking with some friends and I’m wondering what the differences are from hiking shoes and walking shoes. I stumbled on this unique website called Zappos.com and it not only gave me an awesome selection of walking shoes, boots, etc, but it explained the reasoning behind the different styles. I really found that interesting. For example, If you’ll be hiking on rougher terrain or carrying a pack, consider the mid-weight hiking boots and heavyweight hiking boots. The heavier constructions are less flexible, providing more support and protection and most of the styles are water-resistant or waterproof, ideal for wet terrain or inclement weather conditions. Would you have known that?

Anyway, checkout Zappos.com the next time you’re looking for hiking shoes, clothing, jewelry, etc. They offer Free shipping and everything.
