	Description:		There is no “one size fits all” solution for backcountry footwear. The wall of shoes at your local outdoor store should be proof enough of that, but how in the world are you supposed to choose? It’s a process, just like anything else, and that’s exactly why Josh Kirchner is back on the show to share his journey with backcountry footwear. Josh is the voice behind Dialed In Hunter and a number of other great publications. He’s put a lot of miles under his feet in the deserts of Arizona chasing wild critters and has learned a few things about what works and what doesn’t FOR HIM when it comes to backcountry footwear. In this episode, we dive into a discussion on where to even begin finding the right boot or shoe and techniques on how to then massage the fit and feel to where it works for your foot. If you’re struggling to figure out this whole footwear thing for backpacking, this is the episode you’ll want to tune into! By Land, Emory R.
