Hiking Boots Women Size 9
How do I find the right hiking boots?
I am really struggling to find the right hiking boots, and I need to get some soon and break them in because I've signed up for the Oxfam Trailwalker- 100km hike in 36 hours! I get really nervous about going and asking advice in the shops, partly because I have size 9 (UK) feet, and I am a woman (all women's styles usually only go up to size 8), so I find it quite humiliating having to say that to the shop assistants. Also I'm wondering if having a man's style hiking boot will be bad if I'm a woman. Please help!
Here are some things you should know:
- You don't have huge feet. The reason they don't stock your size is probably because they sell more in the middle sizes, but that doesn't mean they don't sell any in your size. Active, athletic women tend to have larger feet than their high heel office or shop counterparts.
- You can wear a men's boot, but be really careful and picky when you try them on. The most likely problem would be that it might be too wide. If it is too wide, you are more likely to get blisters or have discomfort.
- For your hike, you probably want some lightweight boots, not all leather boots. Also get some sock liners if you can find them. They usually come in only white and black, but they can be life savers to wear under your socks and prevent rubbing and sweaty feet.
- Don't think twice about the color or style. It is all about comfort, and you will see people wearing every color and style of boot you can imagine. If they feel good on your feet, you will fall in love with them regardless of color. If you buy a pair based on looks instead of utility, they will sit in your closet and not be worn.
- No matter what type boots you get, take some moleskin or other padding with you to prevent blisters. At the first sign of rubbing, take time out to pad it so it doesn't turn into a blister that could ruin your trip.
- You're hiking with a team of 3 others, right? If so, ask them where they go their boots. There must be a source near you. The main thing is, don't go into the shop feeling like your feet are odd. If they can't help you find something that works well, it's the shop assistants that are odd.
