Boots
Boots are very important for keeping your trip enjoyable. Boots keep your feet warm, comfortable, and protected from water. The best material for boots is a combination of materials that includes a rubber, waterproof bottom with a good lug sole for traction; a nylon or synthetic upper that is high enough and fastens to repel snow; and a removable, breathable liner made of wool, fleece or synthetic material that wicks perspiration away from the foot. Make sure your boots do not let in any water, but allow your feet to “breath” or let out moisture. Choose boots that fit well and are comfortable for a long day of riding. They should not feel tight or restrictive when worn. Boots that are too tight, can cut off circulation and your feet can become cold.
