The choice of footwear depends on the seriousness of the route, but good quality, good fitting comfortable boots, are probably the most important part of your kit. Trainers do not support and protect the feet and ankles adequately, modern light-weight mountain walking boots do – don’t buy heavier boots than required for your intended level of activity, take advice from a good specialist retailer (look at the suppliers list on this site) and try on as many types as possible. Ask to have your feet measured and take your favourite walking socks with you to the shop. Alternatively ask the retailer to recommend suitable socks before trying the boots on.
Lowa, Scarpa, Berghaus, Asolo, Merrell, La Sportiva is some best brand out there.
