How STANDSO Hiking Boots Helped Ryan Rediscover the Trail
Meet Ryan, a weekend adventurer and full-time creator who found more than just a good pair of boots—he found his way back to the trail.
From Burnout to the Outdoors
After months of burnout from long work hours and screen time overload, Ryan knew he needed a reset. "I missed the outdoors," he says. "I used to hike all the time, but life got in the way. I stopped exploring. I stopped moving."
Then one day, while scrolling online for new gear, Ryan came across STANDSO Hiking Boots.
"The story behind STANDSO hit home. It wasn’t just about boots—it was about getting back up after life knocks you down. I felt that."
First Impressions That Stuck
When Ryan first laced up his new pair of STANDSO boots, the difference was immediate. “They felt solid, but light. Like they were made to move with me, not to fight me.” His first hike with them was a 7-mile trail through uneven terrain and muddy passes—but he never slipped, never felt sore, and never doubted his steps.
“I’ve worn big brand boots before. They always felt either too stiff or too bulky. STANDSO boots? They just worked. Right out of the box.”
Comfort Meets Confidence
Ryan says what stood out most was the support. “You feel protected in these. My ankles were locked in, but not restricted. Even after hours on rocky climbs, I didn’t feel that usual ache.”
He also noticed how well the boots handled terrain changes. A sudden puddle didn’t slow him down. “They stayed dry inside. My socks were dry. That alone is a game-changer.”
What made STANDSO different for Ryan wasn’t just the quality—it was the story behind it.
“Knowing the brand started from someone learning to stand again after being unable to walk—it just hits different. These boots are made with heart. And that shows.”
Ryan’s Verdict
After three months, multiple hikes, and hundreds of trail miles, Ryan’s hooked.
“STANDSO got me back outside. Back to myself. I’m not just hiking again—I’m thriving out there.”
