Men's hiking boots are in a whole different class of footwear from your regular type shoes. Hiking is a great way to get exercise and most of the time you get to see some great scenery. But because of the rigors of hiking it demands a stronger, more stable shoe than just walking down the street. During a long hike your feet will encounter rocks, roots, tree limbs and steep, sometimes loose terrain not found on walks.
To avoid injury, it is essential you get a boot that fits well and supports your ankles to keep them from getting twisted. Hiking boots also have harder soles to keep you from feeling every single rock you step on.
Don't make the mistake I did several years ago while hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. I took a 9 mile hike with a friend and we didn't have hiking boots. The next day we went out and bought hiking boots, but we paid for that mistake for the rest of our vacation with very sore feet.
