Before the days of motor cars when people wanted to get from A to B there were very few choices available to them. If they were fortunate they might have been able to ride on horses, camels, or mules. The rest would have to walk. Sometimes long distances would be involved, over very rough terrain, meaning more of a hike or trek rather than a leisurely walk. Trekker shoes as such were not in mass production, and people had to make the most of what materials they had at their disposal.

Nowadays, for most of us, hiking or trekking - is done more for pleasure than out of necessity. Trekking is a wonderful way to feel at one with nature, seeing things at close hand, rather than rushing past at speed. In fact, the word “trek” was used in South Africa back in the 18th century, where it meant “a stage in a journey by ox wagon.” Today we are more used to a trek being made by foot of course. And although a trekker by definition is a traveler who makes a long arduous journey, the fact remains trekking is something that can be found pleasure in.

Quote:Thankfully, progress has resulted in the invention of a number of accessories which make trekker shoes even safer in all weathers, such as snow chains, which will help provide much greater grip in ice and snow.

I must admit I'd never heard of snow chains for shoes, but sure enough they exist. I just assumed they were available for vehicle tyres, though I've never used them personally.

I have my 2 pairs of Trekker shoes it's a very comfortable shoes, just runs large with a large toe area. I had to use 2 insoles, should have exchanged them. I expected them to last longer, in 9 months.
