Derby Tup Apr 2022 3:04pm, 1 Apr 2022 54,937 posts	0 Derby Tup Footwear is absolutely key for me. Blisters can not only take the fun out of a day out but potentially stop you. Also they take time to heal. Lighter is better is my approach to shoes too. Trainers are my choice. I’ve actually just bought a pair of Hokas for the upcoming LDWA 100 in June, which will entail much more walking than running
Rosehip Apr 2022 3:08pm, 1 Apr 2022 24,702 posts	0 Rosehip I walk/hike in Roclite shoes too. I carry first aid kit, charger for phone and an emergency foil bag more or less everywhere

Diogenes Apr 2022 4:00pm, 1 Apr 2022 68,604 posts	0 Diogenes I have ordered myself a new pair of trail shoes My old Salomons are a bit worn out and a little tight across the toe box. I've gone for my favourite brand NB in my usual wide fitting.
