Or just things that are better left to the pros. I have a friend who constantly wonders “what kind of man pays someone” to do this or that... As he goes into the third month of his bathroom renovation. I keep trying to explain to him the efficiencies of the modern economy...

I’m a wild land firefighter and I have to wear heavy boots for work. The advice in this article is good. That said, as an avid backpacker I will say that running shoes are the best hikers I own.
