Quality boots, such as these from LOWA, are a valuable investment. Once you have a pair, make sure to break them in properly! Don’t wait until you need to hike 20 miles to escape danger to find out that your boots are too stiff and not broken in properly.
This is part of the reason why it’s SO incredibly important to stay in shape. Even walking 1-2 miles a day does wonders for your body. Up that to a short 3-mile run 5-days a week and you’ll be far ahead of all the other desk jockeys whose life consists of sitting on the couch at home when they are not parked at a desk at work.

Don’t be this guy when the zombies come. Stay in shape.
The long and the short of it is that if you are preparing by stocking up on certain supplies and NOT preparing your body at the same time, you are doing yourself a disservice. All the gear in the world cannot save you if you are not capable of walking a few miles without collapsing to the ground like a beached manatee. Prepare your body with the same vigilance you prepare your supplies. Best of all: preparing your body by staying in shape is FREE!
