while out on the trail your hiking boots will be your best friend and your worst enemy. if there is one thing that i recommend you spend money on its your boots. you really want a pair that are going to fit and last while out there. also before you buy boots i would do a little research. go to some blogs and journals from other hikers and see what they're wearing. when i was buying my boots i looked at come of the blogs on trailjournals.com and picked about four pairs that i liked and wanted to research them further. i went to the makers websites and some read some reviews and then went and tried them on at stores.
i managed to find a great pair of boots that are light weight and durable. i would recommend going with a pair of Merrell boots, they're comfortable and fairly reasonable in price. boots are an important thing so really need to do your homework and find the right ones for you.
my cousin made this mistake and borrowed a pair of boots instead of buying her own. she was definitely regretting by the second day out. she had a massive blister on one foot and a smaller one on the other. she wont be making that mistake again.
boots are an essential when out backpacking or even just hiking. your feet are important and if something happens then you might get stuck in the woods for a bit longer than planned. so take the time research your boots and find ones that fit. wait for the sales so you don't have to spend your entire savings on them.
