Choosing trekking shoes is always a worry for trekkers. It's a big investment and you want to make it right. But many wonder if they can make do with sports shoes on their treks. So in this video, we look for the major differences between a trekking shoe and a sports shoe.
This was shot at Decathlon with their Quechua Trek 100 shoes and their Kalenji running shoes. By the end of the video, you'll know which shoe to choose, whether you're going on a Himalayan trek or a trek in the Western Ghats.
There are 4 points to look into when you are comparing trekking shoes and sports shoes.
1. Grip on the sole
2. Ankle support
3. Hardness of the sole
4. Water resistance

While on the way to tapovan, saw 5-6 nepalis(porters) carrying a lot of weight and coming down all the way from nandanvan. Guess what they were wearing.... Hawai Chappals 😄
ha ha ha.
they are used to the terrain since childhood. can you compare yourself to them? lame!
I never compared myself to them. I was just recalling a moment. I realize they're used to the terrain, at the same time I also realize the importance of trekking shoes.
Take it easy ✌️
Where there is will there is a way.lol
wow really !!!
One of the best shoe videos from India! Keep up the good work.
Marvellous job on the audio and visual quality in producing this, one comment I’d make is that while your comments are valid on the sort of hiking shoes one should wear while trekking for days on end, it comes back to the wearer’s preference because I hiked the Kokoda trek for about 8 days and wore Reeboks which lasted me the entire journey and I’m very thankful that I did not get any serious injuries.
Amazing content. Very well articulated and presented. Will be a lot of help for my upcoming trek. Thank you!🙂
Hy mam Arlene Mathew you love trekking. I am from meghalaya. Indian people
Very good info Swati, keep it up👍🥾🥾
I was just looking for this!!😍😍😍
Glad you found it! :)
Beautifully explained. Trek or hike. Day trek or camping trek. Shoes play a very important role. A bad shoe can ruin your trekking.
Hi Swathi, good information on the trekking shoes, we are planning to go to Mount Kailash next year and i have started my survey on trekking shoes. Your explanation is really great, good job my dear and keep up the good work...All the best.
from Malaysia
Thanks for helping me make the right choice.
Thank you….very informative 👍🏼
Thanks these types of video mam really informative and helpful
great video. very informative.
very nicely explained!
Hello Swathi,
Great information. Thank you!
I was going for on a week's vacation to himachal(Kasol, kheerganga and manali) and a day's trek to kheerganga in the month of November 2021. Can you please suggest the shoes for it ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Swati, besides the Trek 100, which have the greatest protection against water while trek, are the other shoes available at Decathlon for trekking that aren't as protective against water, as good? There are two other style of shoe's (if my memory is correct) that are made of other fabric then that of Trek 100. Would be great if you did a video on those other shoes in comparison to the Trek 100 if there are differences that are significant

Trekking shoes are usually very heavy. Can you suggest some light weight shoes for Himalayan/Base camp trekking?
Thnku sis for this valuable information..
i went to decathlon to buy trekking shoes for the kedarnath December trek and I was suggested some very heavy leather ankle-length shoes . i wasn't sure about the leather although they looked sturdy , strong and water proof. what do you suggest?
Thank you, I am planning a meditation camp in Himalayas in the month of August, although it is not a trek, but I need a gear almost same as trekking keeping in view the approaching rainy season, your channel is giving a good guidance in choosing the right gear. Keep up the good work. Namaste. 🙏🙏☺️
We're glad to help! :)
Meditation camp sounds awesome. Could you please give more info?
@@meghaseth5815 my meditation camp in Rishikesh was due in August but temporarily stalled due to covid.
@@Vishal-hb4lk thats unfortunate. How do you find such meditation camps?
@@meghaseth5815 I have found it through a Quora answer, even u can attend the Himalayan camp by doing a 21 day meditation in home with their given audios, after that u need to submit their questionnaires on your experience of meditatin, camp is for free for all sincere spiritual seekers.

Suggest some hiking shoes which has grip as well as light weight. I am going to Sandakphu for hiking. I am not used to wear heavy shoes which you are showing. I have pain in my ankle after an accident. So I'm lil bit concerned. And I want to wear it casually some other time as well.

My uses are rough to be honest and my shoes are easily torn out... Even though I use casually no same shoes has ever been for more than 2-3 months.... Should I wear trekking ones even casually?... My weight is heavy almost 75-80kgs... So carrying 500gms more won't be a problem... But I really need to know wearing trekking shoes would be good on regular?

I need good rain jacket...which can help me from rain ..I used several rain coat..after wearing cap also my hair got wet..I don't know how..I need something which can protect my hair from getting wet especially trekking in monsoon
Very well explained...all points are imp. I would like to ask you , what kind of socks should wear while wearing trekking shoes. I am sure for winter and summer it’s diff. One more question what size we need to choose. I heard that 1 or 1/2 bigger as foot swallows while walking.
Glad you liked the video. You can wear normal sports socks in your shoes. Definitely not woolen socks. As for the size of your shoes, getting shoes a size bigger is definitely better, to give your toe box enough room for movement while descending.
I'm planning to visit Meghalaya next week, will trek a little to visit the living roots, mostly steps, do I still need to buy trekking shoes?

Hello India Hikes,
I tried on the Quechua Trek 100 after a lot of research but it's sole felt so hard on the feet, and my feet started aching just in 20mins. I wasn't sure if to buy. Unsure if I'm missing out on anything.Please advise.
Yes. That's called breaking in duration of a shoe.
can trail running shoes be an option too??

Hello!! I am going for basic mountaineering course, could you please suggest which one to buy - trail running shoes or decathlon trek 100 shoes?
Hi Hari. You may buy any trekking shoes just make sure that they are high ankle. As high ankle support shoes helps you to trek better.
Which will be better
Quechua or gomnear
Hi Mam, I about to go for Basic Mountaineering Course, so which shoes would you recommend that'll last so much for a month as well as have a very nice wet grip? As its going to be rainy season in Arunachal in August.
Thanks in advance.
Pulkit Mantri In which institute you have applied for brother ?
Hi Swathy
Can I use a low rise hiking shoe coupled with ankle braces, instead of a high ankle shoe?
You could try doing that. I'm not very sure how comfortable it might be for long days of trekking, where you're walking for 5-6 hours. You can try and let us know too!
Very helpful, thank you! From Pakistan 🇵🇰
What is the price and where will i get them?
