Thanks to Zappos for sponsoring this post.
It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of the Fall weather, and once the temperatures get a little cooler, I try to spend as much time outdoors as I can before it gets TOO cold! That means tons of Fall hikes, which funny enough I usually don’t include in my instagram content, but I am a huge lover of the outdoors, and going on hikes in upstate NY. On this particular day I headed to one of my favorite local parks, Hempstead Lake Park, where the leaves fall so beautifully all over, and the paths are covered by trees. It’s one of my favorite spots to walk around, and also to shoot photos! We actually brought Hudson here when he was only a week old for one of his first walks.
Nothing should get in the way of being outdoors, rain included, and I was super excited to take my Merrell shoes from Zappos.com for a spin.I love that Zappos has a 365-day return policy, so if you’re not stoked on the shoes, you can always switch them out! Merrell’s shoes are built to withstand all kinds of weather conditions, and are perfect to bring on an adventure – whether it be biking, hiking or just a long walk! There’s nothing worse than being on a hike, and realizing that you have the wrong shoes on. It ruins your time! I actually remember being in Upstate NY once hiking with my brothers and Matt, and having a blister the entire time. It sticks out in my head because it was such a painful hike. It’s so much better to go in prepared, so you can fully enjoy your time outside!
Would you hike in the rain? Let me know in the comments!
