Some useful links USA dealers and sellers. These brands and sellers have either been recommended to me or used by myself. As far as I know they all have good feedback by hikers I have met over the past two years. Find a make that works for you.

Sierra Trading Post (discounted shoes in many brands)

Zappos (mail order trail runners, trainers, some boots)

Montrail (runners and boots)

Asics (runners, trainers, trail runners)

REI (the largest outdoors retailer on the planet? good customer service. should we support smaller sellers too though?)

Some useful links UK dealers and sellers

Brooks Running (running shoes)

Inov-8 (running shoes)

Asics UK (trail runners and trainers)

If you think I have missed any let me know....

I hope to start some articles on hiking boots soon and then other kit.

Some people assume I am in the USA...I am not! I am in the UK but have hiked in the USA for the past two seasons. Thanks for looking at my outdoors blog / best regards to all my American friends
