Below is a brief explanation of the different types and features.Characteristics category A The shoes in category A are light and all-round hiking boots and casual shoes for flat terrain, such as forests and asphalt.Light and flexible hiking boots.Intended for day walks on good trails.Available in a low and a half-high variant.The sole is extremely flexible. Characteristics category B The shoes in the B category are so-called trekking shoes. The sole of this B-shoe is stiffer than the previous category. Suitable for mountain hikes with a light pack. They provide sufficient support and protect the ankles.Also known as the trekking or mountain hiking boot.The walking comfort of a sports shoe and the sturdiness of a mountain shoe.The sole is stiffer than with the A-shoe.The upper is a bit firmer than with the A-shoe.The high shaft gives support to the ankles.Especially suitable for longer and multi-day hikes with luggage, as long as there is a path. Characteristics category C Category C includes shoes that are used for trekking through fairly rough terrain, for which the soles of previous categories no longer suffice. The biggest difference with the previous category is, in addition to the much stiffer sole, also the stiffer upper. Ideal for mountain tours at higher altitudes.Intended for trekking through rough terrain.Significantly more robust than the B shoe.Suitable for short use with crampons.The sole bends only a little, but is pre-shaped for a good transition.
