Hi there,
I'm new to purchasing hiking and walking boots and would appreciate some advice on getting the perfect walking/ hiking boot, please.
I recently purchased what I thought was a great boot which was ankle height, waterproof, light, and supposedly with good traction; however, when I tried testing them walking about outside (after I purchased them), they were super slippy on slightly wet tarmac - even my normal day-to-day shoes have better traction than this. I was quite disappointed since they were perfect until I tried wearing them outside.
So I was wondering if anyone with good walking boot brand knowledge (for ladies/ unisex) would be able to advise me on where I could find a boot that is of ankle height, waterproof, light to wear (not heavy leather that I can't walk in easily but I'll consider some), with good traction, and a decent price. Preferably around £50 but higher wouldn't be too much of an issue for the perfect boot.
Any advice that anyone could give (even just good places to look for reliable walking boots) would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
