Adventure 16 Boot and Pack Fitting

07.28.2016

Hiking, backpacking, travel vacation—whatever you’re doing outdoors, your outfit matters! By that, we mean properly fitting hiking boots and backpacks. Visit the premiere outfitters at Adventure 16, the homegrown employee-owned company, with four retail stores throughout Southern California and a new online store. A16’s been around for 54 years for a reason!

You get the local love here from a staff that lives and breathes the outdoors. Gotta get a backpack? A16 will measure and custom fit the best pack for your body, and they’ll also show you how to pack it the right way. Same goes for your hiking boots (aka your single most important piece of outdoor gear).

A16’s “Best Bootfit You Can Get” program involves inspecting and measuring your feet meticulously, then giving you recommended footwear for your individual needs. You test the fit, and A16 will modify the boots to the unique shape of your feet!
