Hike with HAIX?
Spring has officially sprung! According to the Outdoor Industry Association's 2022 Outdoor Participation Trends Report, hiking continues to be the most popular outdoor activity across America. The OIA now estimates there are as many as 59.6 million hikers in the US!?
Hiking has long been a popular pastime for its low threshold of entry. Unlike other outdoor pastimes, hiking requires little, if any, dedicated gear to get started. Grab a map, some water and a good pair of shoes and off you go!?
Read any hiking article or blog post about choosing footwear and you are likely to see recommendations to choose your boots based on two factors: support and protection. The type of hiking you do plays a big role in the type of footwear that will suit you best. ?
Regardless of your hiking style, HAIX? recommends choosing a boot that supports your feet and ankles over uneven or rough terrain. Soles with good traction and an ergonomic footbed are also great features to have for hikes that are over sharp and sandy rocks. In addition to support, it is good to have footwear that offers a level of protection for your needs. Durable materials and either waterproof or water-resistant technology can help minimize blisters and impact injuries.?
HAIX? offers some world-class footwear options for exploring the great outdoors. Our most popular option is the Scout 2.0. Favored for its lightweight design, GORE-TEX? waterproofing and stone shield elements in the footbed, the Scout 2.0 is a great option for a wide variety of hiking styles and locations.?
Wherever you roam and whatever footwear you choose, always stay safe and have fun!?For more information about the Scout 2.0, visit our website at https://www.haixusa.com/haix-scout-2.0
