It's not a tip you originally asked for - but if you do get blisters, pop some tumeric on them overnight and it will dry them out like magic.

Your socks might get stained but it'll be worth it if you have to walk the next day.

You`ll find it in the spice rack : it is the yellow color in what Angrezis call curry powder.

Woodlands U-trek series shoes cost 2350 INR.So if this pair is better than Woodlands then what's the problem.Most of the foreign brands like North Face,Salomon,etc are 4000-5000+ INR in cost.

Thumbs up

This shoe looks a lot comfortable & lighter than Woodlands.The grip looks fine.If now it gives good protection from water & snow...then this shoe is perfect.
