Backpacking boots

Backpacking boots are created for the hiker to be able to carry a heavier backpack on a terrain that is more rugged. These boots tend to be more supportive and provide more durability due to their stiff midsoles.

Mountaineering boots are less common that traditional hiking boots. These boots are much heavier and the midsoles are a lot stiffer so that they are able to handle heavier loads, as well as grip well in glacier travels. These are some of the toughest most durable boots on the current market.
