Hi,
Just received email from my friend who's organising a climb in August. He's chosen the the Rhyd Du path which from a bit of googling seems to be the easiest path.
I've not done any claiming before and he's sent a link for some Merrel boots. I don't plan to do any climbing subsuquently so spending £80 on some hideously ugly boots feels overkill however I don't want to be underprepared. So is proper footwear necessary for the said trail?

Any other tips? As we are all first time climbers. We do a lot of walking/rambling/exploring so fitness as such isn't the concern. It's more the actual climbing / hiking.
Thanks
