Its popularity is due to\nthe fact that it is the easiest and most economical thing that can be done when\ntraveling. That is why it is important to have good shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First things\nfirst: physical condition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before any footwear, we must\nprepare the body, especially our legs and feet. Walking fast for ten minutes a\nday can help improve your health and reduce the risk of premature death by 15%,\naccording to a study published in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a recent research by the Public Health Department\nof England concludes that 41% of people between 40 and 60 years of age do not\neven walk 10 minutes a day for a whole month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevisitorpanama.info\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Compress_20220804_135218_8846.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4674\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, it is suggested to do activities that\nprepare the body such as: getting off one stop before the destination when\nusing public transport and if you go by car, park it a few blocks away, another\nis to take the stairs instead of the elevator, take walks during the lunchtime,\ngo shopping without the car, and on weekends take a walk outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Right\nFootwear for the City and Nature Trails<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must look for comfortable,\nflexible and ergonomic footwear to enjoy without giving up style and without\nsuffering from foot, leg or back pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>City\nWalk:<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the plan is to stay in the\ncity, buy sneakers with a thick, ergonomic and comfortable sole. These shoes\ncan be found in sports and casual models to wear on any occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevisitorpanama.info\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Compress_20220804_135220_0694.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4675\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Walking\nin Trails:<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A perfect plan to enjoy nature\nin its purest form is always to go hiking. However, if you want to carry out\nthis sport correctly, it is essential to wear the right footwear. With the\nright pair you can enjoy your surroundings without worrying about getting sores\nor blisters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>The\nTerrain:<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The first question that one\nmust ask is about the type of terrain that will be trodden during that route.\nAnd it is not the same for the foot to go on flat tracks -in some cases with\npaved sections, than other somewhat more irregular paths or step on a very\nsteep terrain between mountains and even crossing muddy areas or rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bearing in mind the above, in the first situation it\nis best to bet on hiking shoes that are flexible and light, although they will\nnot be as durable to walk comfortably and not get too tired. When the terrain\nbecomes more difficult, it is when the shoes should have a more rigid sole to\ngain stability, as well as a boot shape to protect the ankle from possible\nfalls or falling stones. And if you are going to go through terrain with water,\nit is essential that the footwear has a waterproof layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevisitorpanama.info\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Compress_20220804_135219_9246.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4676\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Distance\nand Pace:<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same way that the\norography of the terrain to be covered is taken into account, the distance and\nthe pace that will be taken also influence the type of footwear needed. A short\nwalk through the countryside is not the same as a route lasting a couple of\nhours with a weight on your back. Thus, in the first case, a more flexible boot\nwill suffice, better if it is also a shoe for hiking, while in the second it is\nimportant to choose a model that provides the foot with greater stability in\nthe event of possible injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walking for hours visiting the lost corners of each city we go to is the number one activity of travelers.
