What shoes should I wear?

The trails are generally quite dry, with boardwalks over most wetlands. However, rain can make the trails wet, and some sections remain muddy year-round. If you stick to the trails and want to stay dry, mid-height hiking boots are sufficient. If you go off-trail, you may need to take detours to avoid marshes and wetlands unless you have high boots or rubber boots.

It’s also possible to hike in low-cut hiking shoes or running shoes, but if they’re not waterproof, expect to get wet. If that’s not a problem, all stations have drying rooms for wet shoes. Hiking boots are recommended if you’re carrying a heavy pack or need extra ankle and foot support.
