Is this with toenails trimmed and shoes with enough room in the toe box?
For a couple of years, I hiked in shoes I thought of as really comfortable. On long walks (especially 35m+ in a day), I'd get blisters around my heel and sore toes. I just figured that was what happened when hiking a lot.
Changed shoes (same brand, but larger and better cushioning) and haven't had those problems since.
- RUG3Y 10y agoToo much room in the toe box can be a problem too, your feet slide around and your toes slam the front of your boots repeatedly. This is actually worse (to me) than having shoes that are too tight.
- prawn 10y agoDon't you cover for this doing up the laces properly? That should at least help. Obviously terrain will influence how much of a problem smashed toes are.
- RUG3Y 10y agoSteep terrain will destroy you if your shoes are a little too big. Think going down a steep mountainside with a heavy pack on your back - all of that weight wants to roll down hill. Even if you lace up tightly, your feet are going to move around.
