How to choose good hunting shoes?

When you're out hunting, it's important to have the proper footwear to protect you and ensure comfort and stability for the duration of the hunt. Hunting boots can vary greatly depending on the type of hunting you are doing, as well as the weather conditions and terrain you will be operating in. So here are some tips to help you choose the hunting boots that will best suit your needs.

Choose shoes according to the type of hunting

First of all, it is important to choose the shoes according to the type of hunting you practice. If you are hunting in the fields or in the woods, you will need to opt for shoes that offer good grip and excellent protection against obstacles such as branches, rocks and brambles. Shoes with good support like the Heddon range from Barbour can be a good option for this type of hunting.

If you are hunting in wet areas, such as swamps or rivers, you should opt for waterproof footwear that will protect you against water and mud. Le Chameau boots with the Saint-Hubert range are a good choice for this type of hunting.

Finally, if you are hunting in mountainous areas, you will need to opt for shoes that provide excellent grip on steep terrain. We recommend shoes like the Le Chameau MOUFLON 2.0 with grippy soles and good ankle stability.

Choose shoes according to the season

Depending on the season, hunting boots can vary greatly. In winter, it is important to opt for shoes that provide good thermal insulation to keep your feet warm. Choose insulated shoes that can retain heat.

In the summer, it is important to opt for lightweight and breathable shoes that allow your feet to stay cool and dry on hot days. Shoes lightweight are suitable for this season.

Choose shoes according to the morphology of your feet

Finally, it is important to choose shoes that suit the shape of your feet. Flat feet, hollow feet, wide feet and narrow feet require different footwear for optimal comfort while hunting. So it's important to try on different shoes to find the one that best suits your feet.
