I can't wait to use my Hedgefrogs on my next walking holiday in Andalucía, Spain.

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Sarah Boys

Weary from research and from trying on an array of lightweight footwear, I'd almost reached a conclusion. I had found a properly fitting Gore-Tex trekking shoe which promised me comfort and dry feet; however, they still weren't quite what I had in mind. My goal was to purchase some footwear that I might use to walk on mountain trails and cycle in comfortably for long distances. They should be perfect for drying quickly after getting wet, and they also should be very breathable for hot weather use. Having just returned from a walking holiday in Las Alpujarras, Andalucía, I realised that my current footwear didn't make the grade. The weather became a lovely 20 - 22 degrees Celsius, ideal for hiking, and that i found my walking shoes made my feet too hot so I wound up with blisters.
In case you are not really acquainted with the Alpujarras region, it may be found nestled below the Sierra Nevada mountains of Andalucía, to the east of Granada and also the Alhambra. Characteristic of the area is a series of irrigation channels and fast flowing streams that cross the mountainsides providing much needed water for the small fields supporting vines and almond orchards. Well, it was into one of these particular irrigation channels which i had to leap in search of my rucksack containing my passport. This wasn't just a spur of the moment decision to test the waterproofing of my walking shoes: it was essential action. I was pleasantly surprised that the rucksack, caught within seconds of disappearing within the rapid flow, remained dry inside but my walking shoes were saturated and remained so for many hours.

So back to the shopping... After visiting many outdoors shops I'm now perplexed by a whole range of conflicting advice. One assistant had advised a lady to invest in boots for a one-off 12 mile charity walk. Questioning her further, to ascertain the time of year, he asked what time she would do the walk and the lady replied, 'In the afternoon.' 'Wear sandals' was the most sensible advice I heard for trails in hot weather and even the most seasoned backpackers tackling the Rockies or Sierra Nevada, Spain, in summertime will likely advocate the same. Having had the enormous pleasure of living within the foothills of the Himalayas in Sikkim, India, I noted how the locals wear flip-flops for their entire hill walking expeditions. I happily survived in trekking sandals living at 5500-6000 feet, save for that occasional stubbed toe. They were lightweight, breathable together with the advantage of allowing you to see the leeches as they crawled on your feet. But that's another story!

...and there they were, on the shelf, tucked in amongst the sandals, radiating functionality and beauty: the Hedgefrogs by North Face. They really are a hybrid between a sandal and a shoe and may be utilized on trails or for river and sea-based activities. Having dual-traction and multi-directional lugs they offer bite on both wet and dry land. Hedgefrogs will be great for walking in Las Alpujarras where I'm able to choose walking across the short log bridges or paddle through the streams for cooling my feet from the lovely Mediterranean sunshine.

The best advice I'm able to give you is to explore the concept of trekking sandals, or indeed Hedgefrogs, then to search out one of the most hospitable hotel in Las Alpujarras, at Bérchules. The owner, Alejandro, is waiting to book you in in the Hotel Los Bérchules on the edge of this beautiful white village. There you can choose from different meal options and choose self-guided walks in the diverse walk's menu or alternatively you may wish to treat yourself to the full-board guided walking holiday package. Book now for the most perfect walking holiday in Andalucía at Hotel Los Bérchules.
