Is Your Footwear Causing Toe Numbness? Addressing Common Hiking Shoe Issues

Nothing compares for world travelers and adventurers to conquering the challenges of a hike and admiring the magnificent surroundings. But occasionally, the negative effects of a strenuous hike—such as blisters, redness, rashes, and most importantly, toe numbness—can overpower this excitement and enthusiasm. The vibe of hiking is killed by these issues. Whether you are planning a full-length hike or just a quick, revitalizing trek, toe numbness can ruin the whole experience. Have you ever wondered what could be causing this issue, even though it still occurs frequently? 

Well, the answer is quite clear. The culprit is your pair of hiker shoes. While the problem seems small, there might be a huge reason behind it, and it can lead to several other big problems. But do not worry, since this guide is to your rescue. Let us dig deeper into the issue and come up with a solution that can solve it all. 

Here are some reasons that can cause numbness while hiking: 

Poor fitting and size issues: Is your shoe causing you numb toes? This might be the result of poor fitting. Tight shoes will not let your foot breathe and can keep it cramped. This might result in blisters and numbness, while a loose shoe will increase friction, causing blisters. They may cause disbalance. The wrong size of the toe box can also cause discomfort. To get the shoes of just the right size, make sure you leave space for the cushioned socks you are going to wear on the trek. This way, your feet will not suffocate and will stay dry and cool.

Inadequate break-in period: It is important to break in your shoes. If not done right, they can cause discomfort. They usually come very stiff and are required to be softened before wearing them on the trek. To make the shoes more flexible, consider bending them with your hands. It loosens the stiff materials and prepares them for rugged terrain. Once your trekking shoes get used to a good distance and a variety of terrains, try adding extra load and weight by carrying a backpack to mimic trekking situations. This lets you get accustomed to the weight and prepare your shoes for the trek as well.

Lack of proper arch support: Poor arch, most of the time, is the root of discomfort during treks and hikes. Poor arch support not only causes fatigue and foot cramps but also gradually leads to knee pain and backache. While on a hike or a trek, shoes are expected to provide the right support and balance even on uneven paths. Search for shoes that help you maintain balance on uneven terrain. Providing you comfort and coziness, the shoes need to prevent sprains and strains. Opting for a cushioned shoe can elevate the entire experience. We, at Gokyo, manufacture just the right shoe that offers cushioning along with stability.   

Inadequate cushioning: Poor cushioning is what degrades your experience. Not providing enough support to the foot, such shoes make your food sprain-prone. To prevent any blisters and pressure, take care that your shoe has room for a toe box. This will make your toe move freely. While taking care of the toe box, do not forget that it needs to be snug enough. 

Conclusion

Good shoes can transform your experience, and that is why it is very important to own things of excellent quality. We, at Gokyo, cater to all the needs of a globetrotter without compromising on the quality or looks. Navigate our digital aisle and get your hands on the best gear for your trek, ranging from trekking backpacks to trekking socks. So, get your hands on the one you want.

Friends, strangers, I want to share with you something I long thought I’d hallucinated, but which today I have discovered was absolutely real.

In the 90s my mum went to a number of Star Trek conventions and would often come home with a fan made tshirt. I need you to understand that my mother, barely 5’ tall, a catholic who to this day goes to church every Sunday, who was never heard to utter a swear word until I was in my twenties, who taught Grade One for decades at the local primary school. This woman, pure and innocent, went to a Star Trek convention and not only saw this tshirt but PURCHASED IT and now it’s been rediscovered in the garage and I’ve never been happier in my life.

I asked her what she was thinking and she said that she thought it was funny but when she brought it home my dad was (aside from side splittingly amused) absolutely adamant that she couldn’t wear it out in public because SHE WANTED TO DO THAT!! Grade One teacher, church on Sunday mum wanted to wear this around town! Who IS this woman I thought I knew??

Anyway now I have this awesome tshirt and I sort of want to frame it.

Hi!! I have drawn the counter part to the busy thinking about Kirk T-shirt design!! Now, I know it’s a bit different from the Spock design, I tried to capture the same feel but then I realised how thin the line work was and I couldn’t have been bothered to retry, I did try to make it more matching though, be adding similar details as the Spock design. But I really like it :D now there are matching designs ^_^ there was talk about selling merch with these designs but as of currently I sadly can’t, the responsibility of owning a shop online and having to get all the supplies is a bit much, BUT!! I will make a Tutorial on how to make a t shirt with these designs!! It will be a little while until then but yeah ^_^

Anyways, have a good day/evening!!!

Alrighty 🔥

It's not so bad BUT i have to buy a new screen.

Sadly, the ink can't pass through my current screen enough to print correctly.

Also I should buy a thingy to put inside the t-shirt, maybe. I mean it's ok with cardboard but... Idk.

I won't print these this month. Totally because I don't like the capitalist holiday and not due to technical difficulties (sweet sweet lie).

I am somehow of a fan of Star Trek graphic tees. I will buy honestly anything that I can find second-hand and at a reasonable price in my size (and sometimes not in my size.) However, there is one particular tee that I think deserves the title of Worst Star Trek Tshirt ever.

This is the graphic close-up. I think this find would be very valuable to study the Mirror Universe dimension, where there is an alternate Star Trek with an alternate bro Kirk who blows everything up and doesn't let Bones tell him what to do.

How Do Insulated Water Bottles Benefit Trekkers in Cold Environments?

Trekking is an excellent way to develop your inner self, but it also presents many difficulties, which are made worse when the weather decides to be unforgiving. Such adventures demand continuous hydration but hydration seems a little challenging in winter. With temperatures very low, the water tends to turn ice, preventing you from drinking water. As vital as keeping your body warm is maintaining proper hydration. In such cases, insulated trekking bottles come in handy. 

Trekking bottles are essential when it comes to hiking in the winter season and here are the reasons why: 

Stops water from freezing: blocking the formation of ice is the most evident advantage of an insulated water bottle. It seems difficult to stay hydrated when the temperature falls too low because the water turns to ice. And if the body is dehydrated, even a short hike wears you out. When trekking in the mountains, during winter expeditions, or in Arctic conditions, having access to liquid water is essential. While the weather turns chilly, the bottle uses a layer of vacuum-sealed insulation between the inner and outer walls. 

Keeps the drink at the ideal temperature: winter calls for a lot of hot beverages. While a hiking water bottle prevents the water from freezing, it also maintains the temperature of hot beverages. Whether it is tea, coffee, hot water, or soup, everything holds its temperature when enclosed in an insulated water bottle. When you are done with your trek and decide to rest for a bit, insulated water bottles are ready to pour you some hot tea. Having drinks at the temperature you desire, regardless of the outside conditions, can make a trek more enjoyable and even help with hydration in extreme environments.

Improves hydration efficiency: hydration is an essential part of trekking to enjoy it to the fullest and anything that hinders it might be a problem. While you do not feel the need for water that much, it is still very much needed. Insulated water bottles keep the water ready to drink, no matter what.  The fact that your water doesn’t freeze means that you can easily take a sip whenever you need to, improving your overall hydration efficiency. 

Durability and ruggedness: built with sturdy materials, the bottles are perfect for the rigors of a trek. With very high chances of falling or tripping, these bottles are made to withstand uneven terrain, which makes them especially useful for trekkers in harsh environments. Many trekking bottles are made with non-slip outers, which prevents them from slipping and falling. 

Reduces the risk of hypothermia: extremely cold weather comes with a lot of health problems. While cough and cold are just the beginning, they can extend to very dangerous hypothermia. While your body is already very cold, freezing water can make the situation worse. An essential piece of trekking gear, an insulated bottle helps lower this risk by maintaining water at a steady temperature that does not shock your system.

Conclusion: 

While staying hydrated can be challenging for trekkers trekking in cold weather, it does not have to be impossible. With just the right equipment, everything can be achieved, and that too without much effort. Insulated water bottles come with a lot of advantages and are practical as well; this makes them an important part of your trekking bags.

I Completely understand your desire to frame the spock shirt. To preserve it, commemorate it.

But don't you think it deserves to be worn?

Doesn't the world deserve to see it?

Please wear the shirt. Do it for the shirt. Do it for the unknown artist. Do it for your mum. Do it for me, a stranger whose mum absolutely loved spock and also data and who spent a lot of her life not doing silly things she wanted to do because of what other people would think.

All the best.

Never fear, the woman herself has been wearing it and loving herself sick in it. Several other vintage trek tees have also been brought out of retirement but none of those are risqué enough to warrant a pic (or a 15K note post).

heartbreaking: the worst person you know likes star trek (it’s my boss)

This is based off of a post originally made by @moonflower-rose, link to the original post below. Go forth and spread it, my children.

Anyway, the original post immediately made me think of the closeted nerd, Camila Noceda, and the entire closet stuffed with the Star Trek knockoff convention gear she has hidden in her basement.
