◁ 7d - For longer trips

Well broken-in footwear might be the most important thing. If it says "Mil-Tec", do not wear it here. Instead look for serious brands. We stock for example Jalas, Haix and Alpina, these are good. You choice of socks is equally important - wool is the best, maybe in two layers to minimize the chance of getting blisters. Consider a pair of tall gaiters too.
