How Do You Lace Hiking Boots for Wide Feet?

Hiking boots are an essential part of any outdoor trekking experience. For those with wide feet, however, finding the right pair of boots can be a challenge.

Fortunately, the right pair of hiking boots can be found with a few simple steps. First and foremost is to measure your feet correctly so you know what size to look for when shopping for boots. It’s also important to look for a pair that provides ample cushioning and support while still allowing your feet to move freely within the boot.

Once you’ve found the right pair of boots, it’s time to lace them up properly. The key is to ensure that the laces are tight enough to provide support without being so tight that they cause discomfort or impede movement.

Start by threading one end of the lace through the bottom eyelets in an alternating pattern from inside out and then from outside in. Then thread both ends of the lace through the second set of eyelets and pull them tight until both sides reach the same length.

Continue lacing until you reach the top eyelets where you’ll want to cross over each end and then loop them back through on either side. This will create a criss-cross pattern along with two loops on either side at your ankle area which will provide additional stability around this area when walking or running in your boots. Once finished, tie off the laces securely at your ankle.

Conclusion:

Finding hiking boots for wide feet can be challenging but with these simple tips it’s possible to find a comfortable, supportive pair that won’t impede movement or cause discomfort. With proper measuring and lacing techniques, hikers with wide feet can enjoy their outdoor adventures without worry.
