I wish my hiking boots could write this post for me. They would tell you stories of bravery, of patience, of friendships deepened. My boots have been walked in with my 2 year old on my back and with my husband by my side. My boots have been tucked into the back of my friends’ car and driven off into the woods, where together, we have become stronger. My boots have been hiked in when I desperately needed a break, when I breathed hard and when I realized I’m stronger than I know.
If my boots could talk, they’d tell you about a girl who overcomes fears and anxiety. They’d tell you about about a girl who loves cheering for others and challenging herself.
What stories would your boots tell? What stories would you like to write with them? Stories of adventure, friendship, strength, of big moments where you overcome things you thought weren’t possible?
For our last family adventure, my son and I both pulled on our boots from Northside USA and as a family, we spent the day exploring Boulder River Falls. What I love is how I see my son starting to create some of his own stories in his boots. His boots would tell you about the hours he’s spent determined to tie his own shoes. His boots would tell you about how this precious little boy always finds the most perfect spot to eat his lunch. 
His boots would tell you about the stick he spray painted to look like a sword and how he carefully tucks it into his backpack, when he goes out to hike.
And I would tell you….as his mom, that I love the confidence he puts on, when he slips on his hiking boots. He has confidence and a spring in his step and as a Mom, I love that just about more than anything. 
Today, since we love you and we want you to get outside and create some memories of your own, we’re partnering with Northside USA and we’re giving away a pair of amazing hiking boots! The style we’re giving away is called “Snohomish Low” and it’s the same as what I wear. We can be matcherinas! Haha!
The versatile Snohomish is the go-to hiking boot for any adventure. The suede/mesh, waterproof upper means that you can just as easily trek through the summer heat as slosh through spring downpours and stay cool, dry, and comfortable. A TPR sole and mudguard adds additional protection from roots and rocks on the trail, and a Northside contour cushioned insole will keep your feet happy, even on longer outings.
Features
• Suede/Nylon Embossed Upper
• Waterproof: Membrane & Seam Sealed
• Insole is Breathable and Washable
• Molded PVC Heel Stabilizer for Support

I absolutely adore this post and lovely photos!!
I know that adventurous little boy who is mentioned in this article! One day he was visiting my home with his family and he volunteered to take the wasp nest off of my front porch!! All this hiking is making him very brave.
Oh, if the hiking boots (or trail runners) could talk!
Being matcherinas with you would be delightful!
Love all your posts! Keep it up!
They look like great hiking boots. Boots have come a long way. I started wearing sneakers for hikes since they are more comfortable than my 15+ year old hiking boots! 🙂
I Love Nature and try to take several hiking trips a year! I love looking at your pictures!
My shoes would teach people that they are to be worn, not thrown in a closet and forgotten about…lol 🙂
my shoes would talk about trails and biking and staying outside as much as possible!
Your giveaways are too fun! Boulder river falls look incredible, I’ll have to try that one. And the stick sword in the backpack? That’s what little boy dreams are made of : )
Angela-your boots always inspire! I LOVE the way you make memories with your family outdoors. And, of course, I’d love to win a pair too!
New boots for a new season would be awesome!! This fall I’m strapping on a new pair of ‘boots’ to set off into new territory : life with all my kids in school. It’s uncharted and full of new possibilities!
Mine would say..you’ve been to many places and walked many miles!
all of the miles hiking in the woods
Lovely post. Passing down the adventure-love it. Boots. Ahh. My tennis shoes are asking me to hurry up and get some boots instead
Would love to win a pair of Northside Hiking Boots.
My shoes would probably giggle about me. They would be able to tell I am a newbie. I am a teensy but clumsy but I go full force. They would probably whisper behind my back about how many toes they saved me from breaking, on limbs I tripped over. But that’s ok! I know they would love adventuring with me while I climb and do yoga poses. And most of all they would love writing new pages in my story.
These shoes would tell the story of how they helped to get my husband more active as he joins me on my hikes.
Had an amazing hike with my fiancé in a secluded part of wood bison park, the hike became romantic, the sunshine the love unforgettable.
My shoes would say “we’re going to get you where you want to go!”
My shoes would tell you of many hikes and adventures in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee!
My shoes would tell the story of a life trying to follow my 3 boys on all of their adventures. There is never a dull moment and they love the outdoors!
