Calling it a day after all

Trekking is more fun when the going is rough, they say. Jungle paths and mountainside tracks are likely to draw more attention from the hiker than the casual cobbled path by the riverside. The fun, which lies in the beauty of nature, takes a toll on the adventurer’s footwear. However, they always have the best hiking sandals and great outdoor clothes to see them home.
