WOMEN'S OUTDOOR FOOTWEAR

Pushing our limits may look different than normal right now - but that doesn't mean it's not possible. If you're a road runner after a new challenge, a die-hard climber maintaining peak fitness or just missing the call of the wild, trail running is a great way to escape the crowds and go on a real adventure, even on lockdown. But to do that, you'll need the right footwear - and that's where this guide from our friends at Salomon to buying trail running shoes comes in. You're welcome.

When properly fitted, walking boots protect and support the feet and ankles while wicking sweat, to keep feet dry and comfortable and minimise the risk of blisters or injuries.

A quality pair of technical socks are the foundation of any keen walker’s itinerary. Whether you’re prepping for long-distance backpacking, a short afternoon hike or a run on the trails, the correct socks will keep you comfortable by reducing shock, adding support, removing sweat and heat and minimising blisters. Cotton socks, however, soak up moisture and can soon cause discomfort and irritation, especially on longer routes. Here’s why you need to invest in some functional footwear.
