Do you need hiking boots for the Blue Mountains?

A hat at this time of the year is essential to protect your head and face from the strong summer sun. While many of the walking paths through the Blue Mountains are moderately easy and don't require hiking boots, we still recommend wearing enclosed shoes like sneakers, rather than sandals or thongs.
