Light Weight Shoes

When backpacking either through the mountains or your local park having comfortable shoes is the most important thing. When you don't take care of your feet you will find out fast that there are big consequences to pay!! If your wearing boots all day long it's priceless to have a pair of lightweight comfortable shoes to wear after your long strenuous day of hiking. Your foot will be able to recover and also give your boots time to dry. Not only does it make sense to carry a pair of light weight shoes but it is essential. Day trips from your base camp often do not require the ankle support because you are only carrying a fraction of the weight. These treks are great for building ankle muscles and stretch out those important ligaments. However if you need the extra support be sure to be prepared to pack your hiking boots. When I was hiking in the Yukon mountains and the Swiss Alps I wore New Balances All Terrain shoes. However at the OR show i was fortunate to meet the guys from Lem's shoes and have been wearing them for a couple days and very impressed. I will be posting a full review with comparisons in dependability, durability, packability, and versatility. The market of light weight backpacking and trekking gear is continuing to grow and there are countless brands claiming to be the best. Be sure you do your research before laying down the cash.
