***** Just think how you would feel putting on a heavy wool sweater without an undergarment. Your feet have the same opinion as your torseau. And please remember, always carry an extra set of boot laces. This may seem insignificant, but break a boot lace and you are instantly disabled.
Start by not wearing boots like that. walk in light footwear that dries easily. "waterproof" hiking boots are a myth. If it rains or you have to cross a stream, they will get wet inside. There is a big hole where your feet goes into the boot, that is where the water will go into the boot. If you are wearing heavy boots, they will never dry. You will get blisters from wet feet. - Furthermore, hiking boots that are high and have "ankle support" will most of the time be a crutch for your ankles. Your ankles will never get strong if you keep using crutches. - The only reason i wear boots is in deep snow, where i need the warmth, and i need more durability. Shoes like trail runners are super light, and dries out fast. They will make your ankle strong and independent. They have more than enough traction for mountains or slippery mud. (i can recommend Altra trail runers. Altra Lone Peak or Altra Timp etc.) - There is a reason why 90%+ of modern hikers hiking 3000+ miles are walking in trail runners.
