# Keep your feet dry. If you know you are hiking somewhere that your boots might get wet, place plastic bags over your socks before putting on the boot. If the unbearable happens and your boot gets completely wet, your feet stay dry. Or, if your boots are wet from a day of hiking, put the plastic bags over your dry socks the next morning so that the wet boots don't create wet feet.[[Image:Fix Hiking Shoes for Safe and Comfortable Hiking Step 6.jpg|center]]

To prevent your shin from being rubbed raw, loosen the top laces or tie only the second-to-top eye. You can tighten the laces again on flat or downhill surfaces.[[Image:Fix Hiking Shoes for Safe and Comfortable Hiking Step 7.jpg|center]]
