Howdy folks, sorry the second day blog is late, but I managed to get caught up in some other things (climbing!) instead of writing. To make up for it, though, I present to you a SUPER-SIZED blog- days two and three merged together for your reading enjoyment. My first appointment of the day is with Patagonia Footwear, and joining me on this one is one of rc.com’s newest gear reviewers and who also has her own rather popular website- Sara, the rockclimbergirl! You can check out her site at http://www.rockclimbergirl.com if you’re interested- she’s got a pile of appointments of her own, so anything I missed, she probably covered!
Patagonia Footwear
Sara and I stopped in to see Whitney, the best brand manager ever at Patagonia Footwear to see whats new. Since their launch, Patagonia has been working hard on both broadening their product line while at the same time ensuring that they live up to the highest possible environmental standard. This year, they are launching the Tsali, named after a trail system in the Smoky Mountains- this is a trail runner available in both men’s and women’s sizing and it features Vibram sticky rubber, a dynamic lacing system that extends down the sides of the foot to provide good compression, and a footbed and midsole that contain recycled content, keeping with Patagonia Footwear’s environmentally friendly approach. The shoe is also really light- 8oz for the Women’s, just shy of 10oz for the mens and very affordable at $100/pair. Look for them this spring.

Hiking shoes for women?

Hi
You dont say how much you want to spend or if this is a one off trip so I wil make some assumptions!!! I would strongly recommend Berghaus boots for your trip. They do a wide selection of styles and prices and can look quite feminine if your feet aren't too big!!! My partner takes size five and she can get away wearing them under jeans etc. If you can afford it get a pair of Berghaus Explorer, these have goretex lining which will keep your feet dry and have a suede upper. These are the boots my partner has had for about five years and she swears by them. You can pick them up for between £50-£60 online from various stores.
Happy hiking!!!
