For Frosh Trip backpacking trips, you will need a pair of mid-weight hiking boots.  There are a number of options available from a variety of retailers.  Below are a few examples of suitable boots.  

Remember, hiking boots should cover your ankle and fit well with two pairs of sock (a mid-weight wool hiking sock plus a thin synthetic liner sock)
