Expert Boot And Rucksack Fitting At Cotswold Outdoor
Having the correct kit to take on the unpredictable outdoors is the first step to ensuring your next adventure outdoors is a great one. Your walking boots and rucksack are two of the most important pieces of kit in your walking arsenal, so making sure they fit properly and work for you is essential. At Cotswold Outdoor, our in-store experts offer you a free walking boot and rucksack fitting service, so you can ensure you’re heading out with the right kit - whatever your pursuit.
Your walking boots and shoes will be your adventure companions for years to come - so find the right fit with our free footwear fitting appointments. Different types of footwear have varying benefits to suit various activities: for example, lightweight shoes for fast-paced hiking or trail running, compared to extra durable, crampon-compatible boots for winter mountaineering. Why not visit us in-store at your local Cotswold Outdoor for free advice and boot and shoe recommendations from our in-store experts? They’ve been out there and done it all and will be able to find you the perfect footwear for your adventures.
Your footwear doesn’t stop at finding the right type; it needs to be the right fit. A well-fitting boot will keep you comfortable all day by supporting your ankles on ascents and descents, ensuring good grip on uneven terrain and absorbing the vibrations from your footsteps all along your foot. Footwear which doesn’t fit properly can leave you at greater risk of fatiguing quickly, getting injured or having your adventure ruined by the dreaded blisters.
Our free expert walking boot fitting service can help. We’ll start by finding out what you love to do in the outdoors before fitting your perfect pair of boots – and finding the right socks to match – so you’re prepared to experience your outdoors in comfort for many years to come.

Like footwear, you need to choose the right pack to match your adventure, as the size, weight and additional features like attachments will vary depending on the pursuits you have planned. Different packs are suitable for varying activities, such as a lightweight day pack for short hikes into the hills compared to large 65L+ rucksacks for multi-day treks, or duffel bags for travel. Many packs and rucksacks also have variations for men and women for a more anatomical fit, making the pack far more comfortable to carry, particularly for long durations.
