Remember to break them in
While we love the sturdy design of men's hiking shoes, the actual wear may adjust!
Be sure you wear your men's hiking shoes in a bit. Most people recommend going this as far as two weeks in advance. If you have the opportunity and the courage to, switch out your regular pair for men's hiking shoes, and go about your week as usual. You should start to bring out a bit more of the sole flex, while also training your feet for them.
If this is not a palpable option for you, then roaming around the house or out in the yard in men's hiking shoes could do the trick as well. You should aim to do this during the evening, as your feet will be slightly bigger than they would be in the morning, a good representation of the size they will be after a busy day trekking out on the Milford Track!
If you are new to men's hiking shoes, then be prepared for some blisters. Tough it out and cover them with some band-aids. Keep going. Your feet and your men's hiking shoes will thank you for it later.
How to get the best fit
It's crucial to get the right size of men's hiking shoes, as it can have a significant impact on both your comfort and your experience. Tight men's hiking shoes are a quick way to aches, pains, fatigue and general dissatisfaction.
So when it comes to picking the right fit, it's always the safer option to go a size larger in men's hiking shoes than your regular boots. Most people tend to wear thick thermal or woollen socks anyway, which can help fill some of the space comfortably. In cold or wet weather, this extra space will also make it possible to add on another layer— if you have comfy feet but cold toes, it can be just as annoying as an ill-fit.
Try some add-ins
Innersoles and other comfort aids are also a popular option, as they reduce the depth of your men's hiking shoes while also offering an additional layer of padding and support. At Spendless, our variations include the gel innersole, comfort foam innersole, and supreme innersole. You can cut these down to size for your perfect fit too!
And finally
New Zealand weather is prone to change without warning, and there are streams along the Milford Track that can flood the track after rain. Men's hiking shoes from Spendless are built to handle rain or shine, but we still recommend giving them a once-over with some waterproofing spray!
