Specialist Clothes

for walking can make a world of difference to your enjoyment

When you initially start out you don't need special walking clothes all you really need is a good pair of hiking boots and a good pair of Socks.

Trousers, Active wear etc are not critical initially but I think that you will find as time goes by you will get more excited about your new found hobby and want to buy something special that will enhance the experience especially if you start to travel and explore further and wider.

If you were to ask me what is the one item that can make or break your enjoyment I would have to say a good well-fitting pair of boots

Leave walking Clothes and go walking

Do select a shop that deals with outdoor clothing then you can be assured that they will offer you the best guidance and advice.

Naturally it depends where you live and the climate that you will be traveling in as to the type of protective clothing you might require so do take your time and get some walk experience under your belt before you invest too heavily in clothing.

One factor to be taken into account is the time of day that you go.

My advice, chose to go at the end of the day. By then you will most likely have been on you feet all day and the blood will have settled down in your legs and feet making them bigger than they were in the morning and if you truly want to enjoy the many health benefits of walking an ill-fitting pair of shoes can quickly ruin that pleasure, so take your time and choose carefully and remember quality over price wins every day.

When you go shopping for clothing to wear be it waterproofs, trousers, shirts, fleeces, gloves, hats, or even equipment please ensure that you take the time to get the bottom aspect, the boots, right then consider other item as and when the time is right for you.

Time spent now will pay handsomely in your comfort later on.

If you don't have the correct socks

to go with your new footwear then choose these first. The perfect socks with well fitting boot equals NO BLISTERS.

So where ever you live and travel special clothing for walking, socks, trousers, active wear etc are not essential items to start with but together they make the whole experience of walking a whole lot more enjoyable and well worth investing in as you become acclimatized to spending more time out in the 'big blue'. But when you do start to travel to foreign districts and countries then get yourself well equipped for the adventure.
