Must have gear for beginner

[Woodzach08]

Take care of your feet first. Nothing else will matter if you're dealing with blisters or other soreness from cheap boots. Lots of places to cut corners, but footwear is not one of them.

What do you recommend for boots?
My buddy swears by Crispi, but im wanting to hear other suggestions as well

There are a lot of good options. I’ve had good luck with Schnee’s.

Boots are personal. What works for me may be way different for your feet. Try on every one you are interested in. I have wide feet that need wide sizes. Lowa Tibets and Miendl have been the boots that fit the best in wide sizes on my feet. I have not tried all of the boots out there but a couple others I have used or have are Kenetrek mountain extremes and an old pair of Zamberlan hikers.
