Hello - new here so apologies if I am asking something again.
Doing Trailwalker in July for the first time. Am getting plenty of training done but decided I needed to get the footwear sorted ASAP. Having read comments elsewhere seems that some wear trekking / trail walking shoes, others boots, or even recommend switching to boots overnight for ankle protection when dark and tired.
I have just bought a pair of Salomon Exit 2 GTXs but am also looking at boots. Any particular recommendations for walking 100k? I do intend to walk a lot more from now on but primarily hill walking rather than peaks etc.
I do like the Salomon Quest 4D GTX but at £115 (cheapest I could find) a little pricey if I got it wrong. Also know it is personal preference and I do need to try them (Blacks allow you 30 day refund so long as worn indoors) but any advice would be great.
