It all depends on the type of walk and the time of the year.  In  section 2 below:     What to wear on walks   we offer advice about clothing and equipment for those who want to go on more hard or strenuous hill walks, especially in Winter. 

But you wouldn’t need all of that if you were going on say, a Summer evening walk in the surrounding countryside. 

But whatever you choose, we do recommend that you always wear a pair of walking boots. 

Trainers are not really suitable for walking over rough ground.
