Hiking Shoes for a comfortable trekking experience.

Shoes are the most important thing a hiker is concerned about as it is all about keeping your feet comfortable so they can take you a long distance on the trail. You don't want callus and corns on your feet from a long hiking journey, so its better not to go hiking on normal shoes.
You want your shoes to be water resistant ( as it is raining most of the times in mountains)
and also snow resistant.
You want shoes that makes a firm grip on the ground. The last thing you'd want is to slip off an edge or a cliff.
