Since i was little we were always hiking with my family, but then sports came in the way and i went less and less. Now i finally have free time almost any week to go hike, nothing crazy, local 2000-3000m mountains, in Slovenia. I currently have some Meindl, high top boots which are heavy, but have really good stability, unfortunately, i get such bad blisters and i tried every combination of socks (1-2 socks, wool, thick/thin...), blister prevention cream, blister patches and i cant make it work in any way so i wont be using them anymore will probably give them to my father. So im now looking to buy new shoes, but how do I know they wont cause blisters? Because for example these shoes now didnt feel bad when i walked around in them at home and then for the first hour of the hike blisters didnt form. I also am thinking now of just getting low tops which are lighter and will probably less likely to cause blisters. Brand probably doesnt matter but i got recommendations for la sportiva/scarpa/salewa. Maybe info about me helps aswell: im 195cm, 90kg, i walk relatively fast, dont really have ankle problems, my feet are normal, not thin not wide not flat. Thank you in advance for the help!
