Tips for choosing mountain boots:
A good fit is essential: When trying some mountain boots, we should feel that the foot is tight, leaving a space at the front of the foot and avoiding rubbing that could cause blisters. One tip is to try the boots at the end of the day, which is when the foot tends to be most swollen.
Outsole: It can be rubber or polyurethane. Rubber has a good grip and durability, so they are ideal for long routes, but as a disadvantage, it is something heavier than other materials. Polyurethane, on the other hand, also has a good grip and is lighter, although abrasion resistance is not as good, so lighter use is recommended.
Fabrication materials: Although leather is usually more durable, synthetic materials are lighter and more flexible. They also protect against cold, snow and rain. Make sure they're waterproof, though.
Reinforcements in the toe: When walking on the mountain, blows on the rock with the toe of the boot are common. To avoid premature wear of shoes, it is advisable to choose boots with reinforced toecaps.
