Boot Shoe
Recommended Type of Walking Boot for Ireland
 This Type of Boot is not recommended.

• You will enjoy your holiday more if you are reasonably fit at the start. In the next few weeks wear your hiking boots regularly and complete as many day long practice walks as possible before your holiday. You should strive to hike between 5 - 7 miles at a time and do try and include some uphill training

• Comfortable well broken in walking boots with a good tread and with ankle support. Please see photo on left. This is very important as over the course of the week you will have to walk over uneven, rocky ground that will be wet and boggy in patches. We also recommend a leather boot over a fabric made boot.
