Material Matters
When choosing hiking boots, one must decide if it is necessary to purchase waterproof hiking boots or not. If you are hiking entirely in the desert or doing short day hikes in good weather, the answer is probably no. But if you intend to do any hiking in the rainier parts of the world or do extended overnight trips where the weather is unpredictable, then this feature will save you many hours of misery and possibly help you avoid serious medical issues. Do your feet a favor and plan ahead for what you may encounter on the trail.
