Boy Scout Shoes

For what I would regard as actual Scouting rather than hut based learning or other 'rainy day' activity the importance of good quality footwear cannot be underestimated not just for looking good at inspection suitably cleaned and fully polished.

It is about being hardwearing because the terrain is a bit abrasive, may well contain stones and waterproof as you can almost guarantee when think the going has been good the heavens will open with a deluge of precipitation as it is today actually and your feet need to be dry.

The fit also matters as they will be on your feet for several hours where lesser footwear will be able to rub against your skin or get sweaty which is no good for foot hygiene.
