How to Choose Trekking Shoes | Trekking Shoes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2019
- Shoes are one of the most important equipment on a trek. From a small day hike to a high altitude trek and even expeditions, the right kind of shoe matters. Our daily wear sports, casuals and formal shoes will not last on treks. Trekking shoes are made and manufactured keeping in mind the different types of terrain, weather and many other factors.
One needs to keep a lot of things in mind before choosing the right kind of shoe. The terrain, min temp, max temp, exposure to mud & slush, water bodies, direct sunlight, scree, soft snow, hard ice, rains, moraines, river crossings, rocks & boulders etc. There is no one type or brand of shoe that could last for all. So depending upon the area/ region you are trekking in, invest in the shoe.
What to keep in mind before investing in shoes -
1. High Ankle shoe
2. Water resistant shoe
3. 0.5 to 1 size bigger than your normal size
4. Avoid filters by putting doctor tape on the feet and at the back of the shoe.

The background music is too loud. It's tough to listen to what is being said in the video
We have made a note of it, will make sure it is fixed next time we upload videos.
I hope ur channel grows asap and reach many beginners out there in trekking. Most of people don't have proper knowledge they wear trekking shoes in metros and normally in plains.
Thank you so much Abhishek. Please share our video with your friends.
@@Wanderers_Indiaalso add captions
This was a really helpful video, thanks a lot for sharing
Waterproof shoes once the get wet they don't dry , it takes at least two to three days, no doubt while crossing streams water is going to get inside the shoes, water resistant shoe is a better option
Agreed.
Have experienced it with my forclaz shoes .
The max they can endure is a puddle or light shower.
But 95% of the time water goes inside and I use a hair dryer to dry it out ..
This time I am purchasing waterproof socks instead..
An excellent video, thank you for the information.
Thank you.
Video gave a precise knowledge for choosing your shoes.
Thank you. These words make our day.
Good explanation, good initiative, good people 👍
video with very
important info
Awesome video guys
Very informative. Thank you
Great work... Thanks for the info... Hope you guys all the best...
Thank you for your wishes.
@@Wanderers_India do you guys have your trekking company?
@@arnendudas702 Yes we do. Check www.wanderers.in . U can check the description for all the other links.
Thanks for the informative videos.
Can you suggest Shoes for women trekkers? My Feet is 4UK which size I should go for?
Thanks! Any specific recommendations for avid hiker and mountaineering aspirant, almost 50 years old.
Aahhh.. thank you for the information. So far I have been tracking in my scandals without any issue😛. Lucky me ☺️
Good to know!
Sadly, the music is louder than the voice over. Please watch it in the next video. You are making a technical info video, where missing out on crucial information can be troublesome.
Thank you for the suggestion we will keep it in mind next time.
Also can you please make one more video on the knives better to carry for a trek
I am from Upper Mustang which is also known as the Hidden Kingdom of Lo tribe. The place is famous for trekking and I also love to trek in the Himalayas. Check out the places that I had trekked till. #hwwtreks
Sir, how can a shoe be both Breathable as well as water proof. Are there any all-rounder shoe like that for all weather types for trekking? Like for summer winter rainy....can work good in all.
Thanks
Any thought on trail runners vs trekking boots? Trail runners are sturdy, light and gives flexibility of using ankle to full potential while trekking. Thanks!
Hi Rishabh ... this is a classic debate going on for sometime. To keep it short - Hiking boots score much higher in terms of Durability, Foot and ankle protection and can be used in multiple terrains (Slough off mud, snow and water). but certainly they are heavy and they need a break-in period. On the downside, they are bulky and heavy. They last for longer time periods for sure.
would have been nice if you gave decathlon links here for the shoes. Not able to recognise shoes in the site
Best video 👌
Thank you.
The second guy's beard is 🔥👏
This scarpa high altitude expedition boots good in 35 degrees celsius in summer time?
thanks a lottt paji .
How is forclaz 100 tex is good for snow and rain? Short hike?
Any recommendations for barefoot shoes in India? Vibram is an option that isn't within current budget.
Watching it buying my new brand new ancle support nord blanc shoes worth buying
This is really good informative video. I would like to see more videos from you guys.
Thank you.
All are good but very costly..didnt army soldier/itbp people crosses those passes with normal shoes generally green in colour ...& those are cheap too..i prefer them.
Guys good video. Just a suggestion please be louder/ use a mike, as I had to strain to listen to what you were saying a few times.
Where can I buy the Scarpa boot from in India?
I do stok 2 times, 1st in bata and 2nd in Columbia... Zamin aasman ka farak tha 😅
T-shirt faadu hai paaji
I purchased trek 100 of quechua from decathlon store in 2018 but within 3 yrs in 2021 that shoe's sole started to break as happened in wood by termait. I am not trekker or hiker.purched fir normal travel in normal terrain like manali,darjeeling, Sikkim. Sole is not for long stay.
Paajii.. Your video is good but the background music is little loud.. we have to put more effort to hear your voice.. hope u work on it.. rest of all loved this video.. 👍
please mentation the buying link in the description
What was the third shoe?
Is quechua 100 good for beginners
????
Great video. Can we use snow shoes in non snow treks? . Which is better long lasting high quality shoes between Quechua SH520 x warm and Quechua NH150. Both in 2500 price. Please suggest.
Sure you can use them but it would be extremely hot due to the fleece line that the snow shoes have inside them. Ideally, if you are buy one pair only then buy the one that is for summer / spring and is water proof. You can always wear a warm socks inside them and keep your self warm in snow \ cold conditions.
Thanks for info 😊😊
@@Wanderers_India which one is better under 3000
@@matta3407310 try Men's waterproof off-road hiking shoes NH150 Mid WP
Who is your editor? What's with that loud background music that manages to become the foreground sound??
Thanks for the suggestions. I am confused between the Quechua MH500 and the Forclaz Trek 100. I plan to do one or two high-altitude treks each year with some moderate hikes from time to time. Is the Trek 100 worth the extra price? Need something that would last a long time. Please advise.
I have the same question.
I am going for trek 100
buy the army one..cheap & best
@@ParulMalik77where to buy from?
@@devangjain-1541 available in many shops just say army boot or jungle boot
Veer g can uh tell me where to buy these shoe? Is salomon quest gtx 4d good for chadar trek? This is my 4th trek with friends and I always had issue with quenchea 520. need suggestion to invest in between 15k and 10k for a good quality waterproof and snow trekking shoe, which actually are worth rather than just claiming to be waterproof.
Hello - For Chadar trek specifically, we suggest that you buy shoes from LEH (gum boots) as all other trekking shoes won't work on the Chadar Trek and slip since you are walking on ice. For other treks including snow treks, Salomon is a good shoe to invest in.
Thanks for info veer g. # hope this channel grows and do post more often ##
HELP ME Please -
I would be into moderate trekking. So in order to buy quality trekking shoes, I recently visited Decathlon. Now among my final pick, I am badly confused between two shoes - Trek100 (costing 6000/-) and MH500 (costing 4500/-)..
Please suggest me, which one to buy and why..
I have used both of them. From my perspective, Trek100 will last you longer. Rest it is ur call.
Anti slipping or camprons snow where we will get cheap and best?
There is nothing called anti slipping shoe ... what you get is a good sole choose friction level is higher. They are called Viaram sole. Vibram soles are the first shoe sole ever created with a rubber lug sole. It takes its name from the Italian word for “tank tread” as both work on a similar mechanism where, through its firm indentations, the grip is created. You can find them at a good price in Decathlon stores.
Where to get these white glacier boots. Can you please provide link
These would have to be sources from a good mountaineering equipment store or try used ones in Leh.
How much for the last boots. White colour.
Hi ! What about Hypagrip Amphibia Sphere 2.0 from wildcraft 6500/-. Is it value for money ?
Wildcraft products in general are not upto the mark when it comes to some rough trekking. We haven't used this product yet so wont be able to comment.
My feet is broad and not feeling comfortable in regular size I've tried 2 size higher which is perfect as per width but it is very loose in overall size. Pls suggest what should I do ?
Put an old socks inside the shoe. Remember to take it out at the end of the day and ensure it is dry when you put it back again.
Put an insole
Nice video.. I feel that the background music was too loud.
can share the links of those shoes
I need a wider shoes as my figure is hurting even on larger size
I have woodland u trek with tracktor sole... But it is very slippery in wet surfaces... Someone please help me how to make the sole less slippery...
Hi Udit, there is no way to rectify this. I suggest you buy a pair of trekking shoes from Decathlon.
what about woodland shoes?
Sir you should definitely invest in rode Mike wireless... To improve your audio quality more👍
How do you procure good size 13 trek shoes, can you please share any link or info on that.. 🙏
One of our team member also struggles with this .. the best way is to speak to the store manager and ask them to get one for u ... or if u or someone known travels abroad (us, europe, canada) u can easily get one there. Anything above 11/12 size is a struggle ..
I got my outdoor shoes from woodland(fist time). it feels like there is not of space(loose 2-2.5cm extra). is it ok
?
2.5 CM is an inch. This is slightly more than required. Ideally, you need about 1/2 inch only. Try and change them if you can.
@@Wanderers_India Unfortunely, Woodland uk5 is the smallest size. Please suggest some brand where can I get small size.
@@kubatuggat8087 Try Decathlon.
Hello sir,
Good morning
I am thinking of buying trek 100 leather boots ( khaki ₹ 8k ) by decathlon,
Wanted to know, are these shoes good for rough terrain or should I go for any other shoes,
They are perfect. Enjoy!
my concern was ,I thought they were not breathable , but thank you so much sir for answering my query your videos are very helpful,
Keep making awesome content,🙏
give me some information about second last shoes and where i bought it
Not sure about these other than Leh Market / Srinagar .
Where to buy the scarpa shoes??
As of now, you can only buy them online in India. However if anyone is traveling to USA \ Europe, you can get it via them :-) Happy Trekking.
Do you think woodland shoes are good enough on Himalayan terrain ?
Nope it’s really bad will slip heavily on wet surface
I am going for trek 100 🙏
What about woodland trekking shoes? They looks real tough so why you have not included them in the video?
We have tried an tested a few woodland shoes. They are not value for money and they are good for a day hike or at max a weekend trip. Not more than that. Not even good for moderate level treks. Also, most of them lack ankle support. Some models have ankle support but not good enough.
@@Wanderers_India oh but I have read in some blogs that high ankle shoes can injure your feet while coming back from uphill to downhill so is it better to go for without high ankle?
@@supercars4574 That is incorrect information. U should always buy high ankle, at-least 0.5 size bigger than ur actual shoe size, water resistant shoes. These are 3 minimum requirements for trekking shoes.
PS. look for mountaineer shoes on google and 99% of the shoes will be high ankle.
My regular shoe size is UK 6, should I buy 6.5 or 5.5? I am a complete beginner.
U should go for 6.5 boot size.
@@Wanderers_India at least a thumb width space-gap should be there
Arre ye milte kahaa?? decathlon ke ilawa ye lowa , scarpa, ye sab kaha milte hai ??
When talking about a shoe model clearly callout name or better display banner with shoe name and model. Thanks !!
The idea is not to promote / sell a brand or specific shoe. The idea is to tell viewers what "features" you need to look for while considering a shoe for treks. The basic requirements like high ankle, water resistant, vibram sole etc and when going for an expedition how to choose a technical shoe.
FYI .. all the trekking shoes shown here can be found at decathlon expect the while one which is a Scarpa.
@@Wanderers_India can you please tell me the name of that white high ankle shoes?
@@Wanderers_India sir can you tell sites for good quality shoes like scarpa, Salomon or any other which are considerably better from the brands present in decathlon.
@@ronin3799 Google will help you with that. :-)
@@Wanderers_India it is not helping. That is why I am asking for recommendations of genuine sites or shops for high quality trekking shoes.
Which is better ,:CTR coaster or Quechua NH100?
Neither. They both do not have ankle support. There is another one from Quechua which is the same model but called mid ankle - NH100 (Mid ankle). They would be better. But remember they are not waterproof hence wont be good for long term treks. We suggest that you try Quechua MH100 and above models for best results.
Great Information! PS - Please delete background music for the next videos because its disturbing to understand what are you saying.
Plz tell us about what shoes are these which brand
Hi, the first 3 shoes are from Decathlon and the last shoe (white boots) are from scarpa.
Is it suitable to use high ankle leather shoes for trekking in Himalayas?
If they are made specifically from trekking - have vibram sole and are water resistant. Definitely not the ones that you use for daily wear in cities.
@@Wanderers_India I hv recently bought woodland high ankle leather shoes for trekking
@@prashantpawar9200 not suitable
Can anybody tell me the name of third shoe
3rd from left is a discontinued model from Decathlon. You could still try and check out some stores (Decathlon) if they have some left in ur size. Best of luck.
grt work man. plz provide link for these shoes
Most of them can be found on Decathlon stores and Scarpa ones (white boots) on the scarpa website it self.
@@Wanderers_India thank you very much
excellent video.. the loud music is very distracting..
How can a shoe be both water proof AND breathable? Air gets in but water can't?
That's why it is called water resistant and not water proof. Secondly, these shoes are way less breathable that your regular sports shoes.
Sir he kaha see kharid sakta hai ?
Decathlon store.
it could have gone a little more in-depth but anyways great video
Yes, shoes can be a long topic to discuss. We plan to do another video with specifics.
Can you suggest me a shoe under ₹3000 (waterproof)
Checkout Decathlon. Thats the only place for what you want and in ur budget.
What about UNISTAR Army boots??
They are good for ppl who are used to it .. not for beginners.

Thank you for the suggestion. Will keep it in mind for the next video.
I hate that scrapa shoes I have a experience of all most 2 years... you are not able to sit properly 😶
We are comfortable with it. Sometimes, some brands are comfortable for some and not that comfortable for some. Over a period of time you have to find and invest in the one that you are comfortable in.
Music ruined it
I trekked the whole of dunagiri mountain on chappal. Believe me it was a wonderful experience . I climbed up the mountain with chappal and climbed down the mountain with naked feet. 😂😂😂 Even my friend did the same. At that time we were just laughing at ourselves.
😂😂😂😂
When it snows...u feel the cold !!
thought that guy was sitting on chair..
LOL .. Nah! Its just that Saran is 6ft 4 in and then has a turnban that I guess adds about 3 / 4 inches to his height. Where as Lokes is 5ft 8in and has 2 ft long pony tail. :-) They are the founding members of www.wanderers.in
