Hiking, backpacking and any outdoor activity requires a good pair of hiking boots along with a pair of quality socks. When walking you want a tough but lightweight pair of boots and suitable, well fitting socks that ensure that your boots don’t slop about on your feet, causing blisters and soreness. The Hanwag boots are superb wet weather boots and for dry weather a pair of Rogue Desert Boots are the favoured choice of both Ray Mears and the Woodlore outdoor team.

Whether you’re favouring robust hiking boots, protective gaiters, or quick-dry socks, at Woodlore we have the perfect kit for you. All items are chosen to support long walks, and not just good bushcraft looks, but genuine dependability.

Good outdoor footwear makes every expedition better. The boots we stock are tough yet light enough to carry, providing functionality without weighing you down. Waterproof boots keep moisture at bay for soggy track hikes, whereas desert-style boots offer breathability on dry terrain, both trusted styles amongst bushcraft experts like Ray Mears.

Socks are just as vital as boots when it comes to outdoor footwear. Designed to reduce moisture and cushion every step, they help prevent excess heat and blistering, ensuring your feet are dry and cared for. Together, boots and gaiters for a complete lower leg system that performs in mud, gravel or upon river crossings.

Ray Mears and the Woodlore team know the value of reliable outdoor footwear. Negotiating rocky slopes, trekking through marshes, or spending prolonged periods standing in the wilderness isn’t half possible without the correct kit. Our outdoor footwear reduces fatigue, improves traction and helps you maintain focus on the terrain, not your feet.

Every pair is built with strong materials and is thoughtfully designed with details such as ankle supports and midsoles that stand up to branches, stones and rough grounds. Pair your outdoor footwear with suitable socks and notice how much of a bushcraft foundation this kit is. Our gear delivers when you need it most.
