| 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 |
