16 TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 3.1997<br />

Greater Outdoors<br />

Comfort starts from <strong>the</strong> bottom up<br />

bv Ed l-arfctn<br />

More outings are ruined by poor<br />

footwear than most anything else.<br />

Often times people select <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

footwear <strong>the</strong> same way <strong>the</strong>y choose<br />

a head of lettuce. A quick look to<br />

make sure <strong>the</strong>y are <strong>the</strong> right color<br />

and that <strong>the</strong> shoes feel ok.<br />

Selecting a good pair of outdoor<br />

shoes is certainly not a master<br />

project just a project to invest a<br />

little time researching. The three<br />

most comm<strong>on</strong> types of outdoor<br />

shoes are exercise, hiking, and<br />

hunting.<br />

All of <strong>the</strong>se footwear are designed<br />

to provide comfort and support.<br />

The shoe or boot is built with<br />

various supports and materials to<br />

match <strong>the</strong> intended use. If you plan<br />

<strong>on</strong> running, a lightweight shoe with<br />

arch and shock abosrbing support is<br />

ideal. If your outdoor pastime takes<br />

you to <strong>the</strong> mountains or afield, <strong>the</strong><br />

process of selecting <strong>the</strong> right<br />

footwear becomes <strong>on</strong>e of careful<br />

c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

The good news is with all <strong>the</strong> new<br />

materials and designs, comfort is<br />

almost guaranteed. The bad news is<br />

with <strong>the</strong> amount of products out<br />

(here, it is difficult to wade through<br />

<strong>the</strong> bt pile. For example, some of<br />

<strong>the</strong> features include GORE-TEX,<br />

Thinsulatc. Cambrella lined,<br />

BioMEC insole, and a host of sole<br />

designs.<br />

A pair of outdoor footwear should<br />

fill <strong>the</strong> following three basic<br />

features: keeping your feet warm,<br />

dry, and comfortable. Anything<br />

else tends to be unnecessary extras.<br />

If you plan <strong>on</strong> backpacking, <strong>the</strong><br />

boot needs to provide performance<br />

in back country terrain. The boot<br />

should have a stiff shank and arlnVH<br />

shock absorbency that will enable<br />

<strong>the</strong> hiker to walk in comfort <strong>on</strong><br />

rocky trails and steep inclines.<br />
