Gear (and suggestions) : Everest Base Camp 2026

Footwear & Socks

Trekking Boots:
Medium-weight trekking boots with ankle support.

My personal preference: Salomon Quest series This has been a personal go-to for me over the years, and I’ve worn variations of this model since 2015.

Many trekkers choose similar boots based on fit, comfort, and support.

Shoes for when at the Hotel / Tea Lodges:

Comfortable Sandals. Teva Sandals are my go to.

Any comfortable show to have your feet rest. You will likely wear socks over them as well
