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 />
