Outdoor Low cut shoes

Why wear low hiking shoes?

For short or medium-length walks on flat or slightly sloping paths, low hiking shoes are suitable to walk on. These provide good cushioning and ensure that the feet and ankles have the necessary freedom of movement. Because low hiking shoes have low shafts, they are much lighter than high hiking shoes. This makes it less energy-consuming to lift the shoes and therefore you can easily walk longer distances. Low hiking shoes are also more airy and better ventilated than high hiking shoes. This keeps the feet dry longer, providing a comfortable feeling. Because the Netherlands is generally very flat, low hiking shoes are suitable to wear during a walk through Dutch nature.
