Blisters on day one make the summit twice as hard. A simple plan for getting your boots ready at home.
01Why new boots hurt
Stiff boots rub on the long descents, and blisters on day one make the summit much harder.
02Walk them in at home
Wear them for at least three or four longer walks before your trip, ideally on hills and with a loaded daypack.
03Don’t own boots?
Sturdy trail shoes with good grip work well for the rim trips. Ask us before buying anything new.
