Boot Cut

Boot cut has long been associated with the cut of jeans. But to hikers, the cut is an important characteristic of finding the right boot.

Low cut shoes are ideal for travel that is considered lightweight, on trails that are smooth and well maintained. They provide the hiker with less ankle protection and is not well protected from dirt, mud, and other debris that can get into the hiking shoe. More hikers are beginning to shift to this shoe style as they are more convenient, lighter and offer a stability that can be comparable to a mid-cut boot.
