EXPERT FOOTWEAR FITTING FOR APPALACHIAN TRAIL HIKERS

After hundreds of miles on the Appalachian Trail, your feet—and the shoes that got you there—can change. Outdoor 76 specializes in footwear fitting and can help hikers find the right shoes, insoles and socks to keep moving comfortably down the trail.

  • Footwear wears differently over hundreds of miles — cushioning, tread and support can deteriorate before a shoe looks completely worn out.
  • Your original shoe may no longer be the right shoe — even if it worked perfectly at Springer.
  • Small fit problems become big problems on trail — pressure points and irritation rarely improve with more miles.
  • We understand where you're headed next — recommendations can account for the terrain and miles ahead.
