Walking Shoes, Socks and Insoles: FAQs

There's a lot more to a successful hike than just choosing the right hiking boot. To stay comfortable on the trails, it's also worth buying a pair of quality walking socks and fitting specialist insoles in your shoes. We've answered some of the most important questions on outdoor footwear below.

Choosing the right footwear for your sport is a brilliant place to start. We offer boots and shoes for a range of different activities, including:

Since they come in so many different styles and specifications, the best hiking shoes look different for everyone. We always recommend calling into your nearest Tiso store, where you can speak to one of our footwear specialists and try on some boots in person.

Fitting hiking shoes for growing feet is no easy task.

Toe room is one of the most important things to check: with your child's foot on the insole, you should be able to fit an index finger at the toe end. With their foot inside the shoe, there should be enough room for all the toes to wiggle.

As for width, you'll need to make sure that the shoe isn't too loose or too tight across the top of the foot. The shoe should be secure on the foot without causing the heel to slip off or move around.

Our fantastic range of children's shoes and socks makes it easy to plan ahead for your next camping trip or weekend hike. With the right gear, they'll be ready to get exploring!

Torn between a pair of outdoor shoes and hiking boots? The decision comes down to two most important factors: the type of terrain you'll be walking on and the distance you'll be covering.

Walking shoes are designed for shorter excursions on gentle, low-lying ground. If you're looking for a pair to suit weekend strolls or trips to the park, casual shoes could be most suitable. They can be worn naturally with a range of different outfits.

Walking boots handle more challenging terrain, greater distances and harsher weather conditions. For those planning an expedition or multiple long-distance hikes, a pair of waterproof hiking boots will provide maximum comfort and durability.

While the best walking shoes can be taken onto technical trails when needed, you'll get the most confidence and support from a pair of expertly designed walking boots.

Yes! We have men's and women's waterproof walking shoes and boots available both online and in-store.

Waterproof boots feature innovative technologies like GORE-TEX, a specialised outer membrane that's breathable, windproof and highly water-resistant. You'll find waterproof walking shoes in a fantastic array of colours, shapes and designs.

Whether you're planning an expedition or simply walking throughout the year in Scotland, a pair of waterproof walking shoes will save your feet on the trails. Nothing dampens morale quite like having a pair of wet feet!

60 years of Tiso

We're proud of our history. Since 1962, we've been leading the way for quality walking boots and outdoor gear in Scotland and the north of the UK. Co-founders Graham and Maude Tiso sourced an incredible range of equipment from specialist providers. Here's how it all started:

"In the early '60s we saw a huge gap in the market for clothing and footwear for going in the mountains. We started with a tiny little shop in Edinburgh, which involved then taking a campervan over to Europe and buying boots from the south of France, and then travelling over into Italy to get ice axes, crampons… which we had to go in person to get. The market was so tiny and so unknown in the UK at that time…"
