Having written some articles about the benefits of walking, how it helped me to get to the summit of Ben Nevis, and how it can greatly improve your health and wellbeing over a relatively short period of time. Providing you are consistent with your efforts, and taking your walking enjoyment to a pace that suites you. Remember, take things slowly... Walking is meant to be an enjoyable feel for you, so that you will continue to explore, expand, and reap the benefits that walking for Fun and Fitness will bring to you.
Now; considering either or not, the walking bug has bitten you, and you have found that walking is something that you are at ease with, maybe you feel you are ready to take walking to the next level, one step further! It is a good idea at this stage, to start to think about some good but reasonable walking shoes/boots. Do Not be tempted to spend hundreds of $$$ on your very first pair, as this will prove to be false economy in the long-term.
Shoes
The option of shoes/boots that you will need depends largely on the sort of; terrain/ground that you are most likely to be exterior while your walks. The correct footwear for the type of ground that you will be walking is crucial...? The way transmit at this stage is to visit your local outdoor clothing and supply centre. They will have a wide and assorted range of, Boots and Shoes for you to pick from, with some dissimilar styles and assorted colours for the fashion aware walker!
It is vital to ask for advice on the correct shoes/boots that will suite your style of walking! choosing the correct footwear can mean the contrast in the middle of enjoying your walk and changing your mind about walking. This is one of the reasons why I repeat myself many times about taking your walking slowly; don't try to run, before you can walk so to speak. As I have mentioned many times before, you have nothing to prove, just enjoy your walking, you are in unblemished control. A little more or a little less, when you're ready.
This would be a good time to mention "The Dreaded Blisters" I have been very fortunate in the fact that while all our miles of walking; I have only ever had, "one serious blister" It was a beauty! So much so, that I took a photograph of it. Honestly, you really don't want any blisters, a couple of good blisters could change the way you feel about walking forever. Look out for my next article, containing information on how to avoid the dreaded blister, and tips on how to break in you new walking boots/shoes.
