Hiking Boots For Fall & 3 Tips For Enjoying The Season

We’re an outdoor bunch! My kids and I would rather hike in the woods, play sports and just in general be out of the house. In the fall especially, we get out as much as possible before the weather turns and we’re forced to hibernate. One of the downfalls of living in the Midwest. {smirk}

This fall, I took the boys to Famous Footwear for our most important gear, new boots! When trekking through the leaves, and veering off course to explore a creek or two, good fall footwear is a must. The last thing you want are cold wet feet. Trust me!

In addition to hiking in Ohio this year we’re also headed south to my dad’s property where hiking can be a bit hazardous when you’re not watching your feet. He’s actually sited several large poisonous snakes on his trails this summer. Poisonous snakes exist in Ohio, but I’ve never seen them at the parks. Where my dad lives, that is simply not the case. Rattlesnakes are prominent. Eeeek! You can bet when we were looking for just the right boots I wanted some that would give us a bit of protection, at least taller up the ankles. Of course, down south the boys will also be wearing jeans. {wink}

Three tips when heading into the woods:

  1. Hiking boots – having the perfect shoes really is important. They need to be comfortable, as well as offer protection from the elements. There is nothing worse than having cold and wet feet so I highly recommend water-proof boots!
  2. Walking stick – grab or make a great walking stick. The ones you see in these pictures, the boys widdled themselves. {grin} They’re not only fun to use, they’re great for turning over rocks (trust me the kids will want to) and perfect for getting a grip to hike up steep hills (trust me… they’ll want to do this too).
  3. Maps and a compass or stick to smaller parks with guides – if you’re not experienced with a map, stay on trail and follow the park guides. If you’re a bit of an adventurer like us, make sure you have a good map, compass, and supplies (e.g., water, snacks, thin blanket).

We actually got lost in the woods once (a 100 acre park) for over an hour… it was awful. We had all of our supplies and it still took us that long to get our bearings. Ugh. I wish that on no-one!

If you like the boots my boys are wearing, my youngest is wearing Skecher’s and my oldest is wearing Wolverine.

As always, I hope you’re inspired! Happy fall y’all!
