trekking shoes

Boots for paths

Trekking shoes are sturdy footwear designed for hiking and walking over rough terrain.

They typically feature reinforced soles, ankle support, and durable materials to handle trails, rocks, and uneven ground.

Lighter than full hiking boots but more rugged than sneakers, they suit day hikes and moderate backpacking: I need new trekking shoes before we hit the Appalachian Trail.
