Broken-In Boots

High-top, flexible, broken-in and water repellent boots are essential for a comfortable hiking experience--bad footwear can ruin a trip. Wear your boots for your practice hike with your pack. Be sure your boots are comfortable for uphill & down. You should wear thin, ribless silk, wool, or polypropylene socks under a pair of heavier wool or synthetic socks. Tennis shoes are NOT acceptable hiking shoes.

Due to safety concerns, campers who arrive at camp without hiking boots might not be allowed on the trail! Sometimes we can find gently used hiking boots for you to borrow, if finances prevent you from providing this for your camper and if we have enough notice.  Please do call ahead of time! 

Swimming is a common activity on the trail so you'll also need a safe pair of Water Shoes.


Where to Buy
If you are looking to save money, you can try on boots by different manufacturers to decide what fits you best then check out Campmor to see if they’re available to order online. You can often save up to 50% off the normal retail price this way, but buying online only works if you know ahead of time what actually fits. Hiking boot sizes are often very different from tennis shoes or casual shoe sizes.
