One of the most important pieces of gear for hikers is a good pair of hiking boots, but how often should you replace your hiking boots?<\/p>\n<p>The answer to this question depends on several factors, including the type of hiking you do, the conditions you hike in, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/bestrecreations.com\/best-selling-hiking-shoes\/\">quality of your hiking boots<\/a>. In general, hiking boots should be replaced every 500-800 miles or every 6-12 months, depending on how often you hike and how well you take care of your boots.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_hiking\"><\/span>Types of hiking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">What you will learn in this Article<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-66190b96d7a28\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-66190b96d7a28\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/bestrecreations.com\/how-often-should-you-replace-hiking-boots\/#Types_of_hiking\" title=\"Types of hiking\">Types of hiking<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/bestrecreations.com\/how-often-should-you-replace-hiking-boots\/#Conditions\" title=\"Conditions\">Conditions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/bestrecreations.com\/how-often-should-you-replace-hiking-boots\/#Quality_of_your_boots\" title=\"Quality of your boots\">Quality of your boots<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/bestrecreations.com\/how-often-should-you-replace-hiking-boots\/#Frequency_of_hikes\" title=\"Frequency of hikes\">Frequency of hikes<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/bestrecreations.com\/how-often-should-you-replace-hiking-boots\/#How_to_tell_when_its_time_to_replace_your_hiking_boots\" title=\"How to tell when it&#8217;s time to replace your hiking boots\">How to tell when it&#8217;s time to replace your hiking boots<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p>The type of hiking you do can have a big impact on how often you should replace your hiking boots.
