Hiking shoes: the latest trends for a hiker's most important piece of equipment

Join me and my special guest Mitch from Wildfire Sports and Trek as he talks the latest trends in hiking shoes and accessories to keep your feet comfortable and blister free! His main observation on why hikers have issues: "90% of people wear shoes that are too small". Find out why and what problems this could be causing. And the trail shoes vs traditional hiking shoes debate: alive and kicking! Don't buy a new pair of shoes until you've listened to this episode.
