I went for maybe my first real hike over the weekend (6 miles, mountain) and all was well except my heels got chafed as FUCK. I had bought some "trail shoes" but maybe they suck? I didn't do any research on it I guess I should of.

Is it the shoes or should I do something else to prevent heel-chafe? Tie my shoes tighter/looser, different socks, what?

Hiking shoes are no good for actual hiking, you need boots my friend.

Do your feet slide in them when you walk? Tie your shoes tighter. Wear a liner sock under your regular ones. If it still moves something that comes up a little higher over your ankle will also minimize movement.

Alternatively you could just try going again and stop being a little baby about your soft virgin feet being exposed to something that mildly approaches "rough conditions."

strictly a matter of opinion. i use trail runners for everything that doesn't involve more than a mile of snow (boots) or 4th class scrambling (approach shoes).

Spotted the fat dude. You don't need boots unless you're going through rough terrain or you're bushwacking. Anything resembling a trail doesn't need anything more than a Merrel or MOAB equivalent.

Your heel is slipping. Relace your shoes and end with a tie-lock lacing. Buy better socks.

I wear air jordans 1 low for walking and for sports activities. Usually, they last me for two years. I use one pair for walking and around work/house. After they wear down a bit and get some scratches or paint on, they become my running shoes. They are in perfect technical condition at that point. I buy a new pair for everyday use then. My suggestion is to buy your footwear from a trusted retailer. Make sure it’s perfectly sized for your feet too. https://www.forstepstyle.com/collections/jordans/air-jordan-1/
