Our top three tips for hiking might surprise you... they all have to do with foot care! 🏔🥾
This summer we hiked over 400 miles and we didn’t have a single foot injury! No major blisters, no lost toenails, no sprained ankles...
How did we do it?! We take good care of our feet! See below for our top three hiking foot care tips ⤵️
📏 Trim your toenails! Did you know the main reason for losing toenails while hiking is that they’re too long? They can repetitively bump into the front of your boot, which can damage the nail. Keep those nails short!
🐑 Wear moisture wicking socks! We always wear wool socks, no matter the season. Wool pulls sweat away from your feet which minimizes blisters. We never wear cotton socks, which retain moisture and cause blisters. Some wool sock brands we love: @smartwool and @rei.
🥾 Strap on some good boots! Lately, we’ve been rocking the Renegade GTX hiker from @lowaboots. We always look for boots that are lightweight, grippy, waterproof, and flexible. Heel and ankle stability is also essential!
Of course, getting your partner to massage your feet between hikes works well, too. 😉
How do YOU take care of your feet when you’re adventuring? 👇🏼✨
