Footwear

Footwear

Your footwear should provide good ankle support with a firm sole and good grip

Hill walking boots are strongly recommended

Ensure laces are tied as tightly as is comfortable for extra ankle support

If walking in summer and the ground is dry, a good pair of trainers with a thick sole and good grip may suffice and prove more comfortable

When buying new boots, always try them on with a thick pair of woollen socks

Check if there is enough room in the boot by sliding your index
finger down behind your heel and wiggling your toes

Adjust the lacing to hold the boot rigid
