Some trips just aren’t safe if you’re not wearing boots that have soles that grip and which will give you some ankle support. However, only you live in your body, so you will have to be the final judge of what you can safely wear. The standard wording follows:

Tennis shoes recommended

Hiking boots strongly recommended

Hiking boots mandatory—the route is very rough.

Highlights

This gives you an idea of what I think the best features of the trip are. Usually, it’s the scenery—that’s one of the principal things you came to Hawaii for!

Driving instructions

This gives you instructions for driving to the trailhead, usually in terms of driving from Waikiki, where most of Oahu’s visitors stay. If you can’t take TheBus, these may help you. Most directions are given in terms of what I’ve called the “basic escape route from Waikiki,” which starts where McCully Street has just crossed the Ala Wai Canal and intersected Kapiolani Boulevard. (ssss1 offers one visitor’s suggestions—mine—for navigating in and out of Waikiki.) See also the chapter “ssss1” for more information on getting around on Oahu.
