Clothing & Footwear advice

Having the right clothing on holiday is very important. Our holidays include everything from sightseeing to mountain hutting, on all continents and in all seasons. We provide detailed information on clothing specific to your chosen holiday in our Holiday Information Sheets. These are normally sent out with confirmation of your booking, but can be requested from our Reservations Team at any time.

Footwear recommended for our Walking Grades is as follows:

• Leisurely (E and E/SS) – Comfortable flat walking shoes, suitable for 3-5 hours gentle walking a day
• Moderate (D and D+) – Lightweight walking boots are recommended.
• Energetic (D+ and C) – Good walking boots are essential.
• Challenging (C and C+) - Walking boots with good ankle support are mandatory.

A good choice of a properly supportive pair of walking shoes or boots appropriate to the demands of your holiday can be one of the best insurance policies you can talk on holiday with you!
