Trekking shoes for spring excursion

Spring arrives, temperatures rise and the desire to enjoy a fun outdoor excursion returns. In order not to be caught unprepared by the return of the warm season and to face an adventure among the mountain trails, it is important to carefully prepare the equipment. Hiking boots and shoes should be chosen based on the time of year and the type of terrain you intend to cover. Let’s see what are the ideal trekking shoes for spring.

The hike in the mountains in spring

In spring, even in the mountains, we have mild temperatures and snow remains only in the highest areas. Consequently, footwear that offers high performance protection from the cold to the feet is not necessary, on the contrary: wearing too heavy boots we could run into excessive sweating. In the mountains, in this season, the weather is more changeable, so it’s preferable to use shoes that ensure good breathability and waterproofing, because there could be showers. On the most demanding trails, with rough terrain and the presence of snow, the boots ensure better comfort than flat shoes, offering greater ankle support and protecting against sprains. The Mikeno Mid boots and Giau Mid boots by Garsport are ideal for light trekking in the mountains. They support up to the malleolus, are water resistant and have a removable anatomical insole. The Vibram sole allows the best grip on terrains and rocks.

Light excursions and in the city

Flat, lighter and more agile shoes are more comfortable for less demanding terrain. They make walking more natural and follow the movement of the foot. The mid versions of Giau shoes and Mikeno are suitable for hilly and low mountain trails. Garsport has also created Rozes footwear: they are a valid compromise between the mountains and the city. In the mid version they are suitable for walking on medium difficulty paths and for walk in the woods; in the low version they are comfortable to use even in urban trekking in city parks and on walks. They have a breathable air mesh lining and a split suede upper. The Vibram sole guarantees excellent performance on different terrains.
