While on the way to tapovan, saw 5-6 nepalis(porters) carrying a lot of weight and coming down all the way from nandanvan. Guess what they were wearing.... Hawai Chappals 😄

wow really !!!

Marvellous job on the audio and visual quality in producing this, one comment I’d make is that while your comments are valid on the sort of hiking shoes one should wear while trekking for days on end, it comes back to the wearer’s preference because I hiked the Kokoda trek for about 8 days and wore Reeboks which lasted me the entire journey and I’m very thankful that I did not get any serious injuries.

One of the best shoe videos from India! Keep up the good work.

Beautifully explained. Trek or hike. Day trek or camping trek. Shoes play a very important role. A bad shoe can ruin your trekking.

Amazing content. Very well articulated and presented. Will be a lot of help for my upcoming trek. Thank you!🙂

Thanks these types of video mam really informative and helpful

great video. very informative.

Trekking shoes are usually very heavy. Can you suggest some light weight shoes for Himalayan/Base camp trekking?

very nicely explained!

Hi Swati, besides the Trek 100, which have the greatest protection against water while trek, are the other shoes available at Decathlon for trekking that aren't as protective against water, as good? There are two other style of shoe's (if my memory is correct) that are made of other fabric then that of Trek 100. Would be great if you did a video on those other shoes in comparison to the Trek 100 if there are differences that are significant Regards Ayub Khan

Hello Swathi, Great information. Thank you! I was going for on a week's vacation to himachal(Kasol, kheerganga and manali) and a day's trek to kheerganga in the month of November 2021. Can you please suggest the shoes for it ? Thanks in advance.

Thnku sis for this valuable information..

i went to decathlon to buy trekking shoes for the kedarnath December trek and I was suggested some very heavy leather ankle-length shoes . i wasn't sure about the leather although they looked sturdy , strong and water proof. what do you suggest?

Thanks for information ❤😊

It's good, very informative

Thank you, I am planning a meditation camp in Himalayas in the month of August, although it is not a trek, but I need a gear almost same as trekking keeping in view the approaching rainy season, your channel is giving a good guidance in choosing the right gear. Keep up the good work. Namaste. 🙏🙏☺️

My uses are rough to be honest and my shoes are easily torn out... Even though I use casually no same shoes has ever been for more than 2-3 months.... Should I wear trekking ones even casually?... My weight is heavy almost 75-80kgs... So carrying 500gms more won't be a problem... But I really need to know wearing trekking shoes would be good on regular?

Thanks WOW THAT'S AWESOME 🙃

Thank you thank you you’re sooo cool

Suggest some hiking shoes which has grip as well as light weight. I am going to Sandakphu for hiking. I am not used to wear heavy shoes which you are showing. I have pain in my ankle after an accident. So I'm lil bit concerned. And I want to wear it casually some other time as well.

Can you please make a review video for Wide Toe Box hiking shoes? Some of us love to trek but with standard hiking shoes and into two hours into the trek they begin to give blisters which makes it very difficult to hike.

Glad you liked the video. You can wear normal sports socks in your shoes. Definitely not woolen socks. As for the size of your shoes, getting shoes a size bigger is definitely better, to give your toe box enough room for movement while descending.
