trekking boots

Trail walking footwear

Trekking boots are sturdy footwear designed for long-distance hiking over rough terrain.

They typically feature ankle support, durable soles with aggressive tread, and waterproof construction.

Heavier and more supportive than trail shoes but lighter than mountaineering boots, they're built for multi-day hikes with a loaded pack: I broke in my trekking boots before the trip.
