Fall is arguably the best time to go on a hike in New York. You can take advantage of the beautiful foliage that New York has in abundance, and the air is cool and crisp with very little humidity.
Here in NY we are lucky to live so close to many hiking trails. It’s easy to transport yourself to a mountainous terrain within a short drive or train ride from the city. The Catskills in particular draws thousands of visitors from every state each year.
Hiking boots ensure you get the best out of your fall hike, whether you are walking a light trail or feeling a little more adventurous. While practicality and comfort are the most important aspects of hiking boots, this doesn’t mean hiking boots can’t also be fashionable.
Nowadays getting a well-liked Instagram post at the top of the mountain adds an extra level of achievement to a hike well done. This means that your outfit must look put together, and this includes your hiking boots. Long gone are the days when hiking boots were always clunky and awkward. These days, you don’t need to sacrifice style for a great hike.
