What are good running shoes for hiking as well?
Q. I am going hiking/walking on trail terrain and I noticed that I really don't have any running shoes or shoes for this as well. Can someone advise me to which shoes are very comfortable for running but can also be used a few times without strain for hiking/trails? Oh and by running shoes I mean for women. Thank you!

A. I have a pair of New Balance All Terrain running shoes that are great for that. They are not so good for intense running on treadmills or pavement however. Good luck and Happy Trails

How can I chose a good pair of hiking boots?
Q. I have just taken up hiking but have found both my achilles tendons are really sore afterwards and feel painfully bruised. I was wearing lightweight walking boots which I've had a few years but have only started hurting now. Any idea why? Also, what should iI look for in new boots? I'll be taking part in 30km hikes in snowy conditions, cross country terrain.

A. It sounds like your boots are not fitting you very well - they may be too loose and thus rubbing against the back of your heel as you walk. Unfortunately, there is no simple best answer for hiking boots since everybodys feet are a little different and a brand that is great for one person, may be the pits for somebody else. After trying a variety of different boots and brands over the years, I have settled on the Raiche GTX (also sold by REI under the name Spirit) - they are comfortable, water-proof and very sturdy (my treads are still holding up after over 400 miles on them). If you are going to be hiking in snow, than you will want water-proof boots (ie: Gore-Tex lining) and may want to consider a boot that can work with strap-on… [cont.]
