Whether on a day-hike jaunt or a three-month trek, many people take their feet and legs for granted—until they start to break down. Like any good mechanic will tell you, most problems result not from accidents, but rather from ignorance or lack of prevention.

The proper care and feeding of your lower limbs can help avoid injury, increase stamina, and generally make hiking a lot more fun.

In The Hiking Engine, you'll find invaluable guidance on picking out socks and shoes, performing pre-hike stretches, and learning how your personal biomechanics really work.

Extensive first aid advice covers everything from blisters to bunions, tendonitis to ingrown toenails, sprains to heel spurs, and the kinds of injuries that can befall even the best-prepared trail tromper.

The most in-depth book ever on the hiker's feet and legs, The Hiking Engine will keep you on your feet and on your way.
