Lightweight Boots

How long did it

How long did it take you to get used to not having the heal?

Hi,

I can't really answer that because I've been running in zero drop trainers for years...but I vaguely remember it took a couple of weeks for my calves and achilles to adjust. If you are knocking about in cuban heels its going to take a while. I'd build up gradually - get used to them around the house first, then go for a walk. It's worth looking on youtube as there are lots of guides on how to transition. People are generally heel strikers, mid sole strikers or forefoot strikers - if you are the latter you want to work on walking with a mid or fore stike.

this is probably a good start:

Thanks looks like I'll be fine.

Altberg Sneeker Aqua springs to mind.

Another vote for Altberg. I wear these for work and they are great boots. I prefer more support stalking and either wear Beretta or Brandecosse

I use sealand hawker boots with sealskinz socks. Boots aren't waterproof but cost effective and flexible sole helps quiet foot stalking, pop them on the boot dryer and dry.quick. sealskinz keep.feet dry and warm. Decent value too

Luckily my local gun shop stock them so I was able to try them on, I usually take a 9.5-10 and in these I have 10.5

Have you looked at Hoggs? They do some waterproof, inexpensive walking boots that I use in summer

Have you tried Salomon quest ? They do a few lines of different boots to suit.

Quick View

I recommend the Rocky boots from the States, priced in £ for export here (no more EU 28% tax on imported boots I believe), they are light, durable and guaranteed.

Viper high leg cordura, vibram flexible soles, sealskinz socks.
