The shoes come we should not be just as after long hours of walking feet are swollen. Ideally, to prove even without tying up your boots and fingers glued to the tip, we fit a finger between the boot and heel.
To ensure the welfare of our feet, and footwear, good socks are essential, which should fit snugly at the foot without being baggy and without creating wrinkles that might disturb during the walk.
