Which hiking boot for your walks?
Category A for paved paths, B for hills and multi-day walks, C for mountains with a heavy pack. High for ankle support, low for lightness; Gore-Tex for waterproofing. At Kampeerwinkel Roermond you find over 250 men's models from Meindl, Lowa, Hanwag, Merrell and Grisport.
Fit
Try on in the afternoon with hiking socks, a thumb's width in front of the toes, heel held firm. Meindl and Hanwag have wide lasts, Lowa fits narrower. In store we measure your foot and you walk the test slope.
