Purchasing the right hiking boots for your feet and for your outdoor activity will make your trip much more enjoyable.
First,decide why you need boots. Camping with a backpack, hiking with a light bag and traveling internationally all call for different kinds of shoes.
Second, Put on a pair of the socks in which you intend to hike.
Go to a shoe store, the shoe department of a store that sells recreational equipment, or best of all, a specialized outdoor retailer.Find the lightest boots suitable for the kind of walking you plan to do. Leather is best for all purposes. Boots with inflexible soles are best for long walks with heavy bags. Lighter boots or heavy walking shoes are better for most other applications.
Try on the boots, tie them as you are likely to on the trail, and knock at the floor with your toe. If your foot slips appreciably, you are likely to get blisters. Ask for a smaller size, or try a different model.

Tip For Buying The Perfect Football Shoes.

Big brands sometimes don't have the right football shoes for you. Because Adidas/Puma/Nike/Umbro do the majority of the advertising it may seem that they're the only ones making good boots, but lesser-known brands like Nomis can make very good shoes as well (and sometimes doing better than the big brands). Classics like Diadora and more could be your boot more so than a larger known boot.

Do you need special hiking shoes for going on long walks?

Whether or not to buy hiking shoes really depends on what kind of walking you plan to do and how often.
Hiking boots are helpful for rougher terrain and for gripping. If you plan to mostly walk on flat ground, you can consider getting good walking shoes instead.

Salomon 2005 kiana fitting with burton lexa binding- size advice

A huge proportion of footwear of all sorts are made using sizes taken from the standard Italian last. It has become a sort of tradition because Italian shoes have been world reknown for elegance - as a nation the Italians have notoriously narrow feet. People who don't have "Italian" feet usually need to buy shoes based on width fit in order to achieve comfort and in doing so will often end up buying shoes that are up to three sizes too long..

Add into this unsatisfactory situation the fact that not all manufacturers cut on the generous side, as with clothes, and the further problem when shoes are produced in metric and then converted into British or American sizes that rarely coincide, providing low cost manufacturers a further opportunity for meanness and rendering the more expensive footwear generally superior as being much closer to the size printed on the shoes or boots. Buying shoes and boots these days with preconceived notions about what size you need is a pathway to unnecessary expense and discomfort and much disappointment.

Only expensive children's shoes, exclusive brands, a very few specialist and bespoke shoes are available in a variety of width fittings for each size, leather shoes do have the benefit of "bedding in" but shoes and boots made of synthetic materials rarely do and if they do it is a slow process.
People who must buy mailorder often order two, three or more pairs at once in order to make comparisons.

If you are not in a position to do that I suggest you either have your feet measured for width and length or obtain the instructions to measure them yourself and then provide the measurements to the shoe or boot supplier or manufacturer and request they supply boots to fit the width of your obviously non-Italian feet.

It must have been nighmare for you ,i am sorry for what happend . let me see what can be done inorder to fix your shoes .

Shoe soles can be made out of a variety of products, depending on the type of shoe and its purpose. An athletic shoe will have a different kind of sole than a regular non-sport shoe and a casual.

so first get to know what type soul your shoes ,try removing it off your shoe and drying it undersun or use a hair dryer if it does not dry and it still fee like a soft tarmac then the soul has been damaged badly so try replacing it ,i am sure you will get shoe sould very cheap.

if you are happy with my soultion please vote 4 thumps up .thank you

Which gym shoe should I buy? I figured someone here may know about gym shoes? I walk and do a tiny amount of jogging. I just want a shoe that I put on and say wow that's great.

If you plan on running, find a running specialty store. They'll let you try on different pairs, jog around and see how it feels. If the store is a decent one, the salespeople often can look at your gait and recommend something to provide the right support in the right place.
