I see there’s another forum post about this from 2017, but i’m still not super clear on the answer, so hopefully this isn’t a redundant topic. I just beat the elite four, and i never got the hiking boots. reading up about the plot events that are supposed to lead to getting the hiking boots, it seems like they all happened already, except for the part where I actually get them. And I don’t remember the character who’s supposed to give them to me showing up at all.
Are you supposed to not get them until postgame? Or did I just totally miss something?
yes you are able get the hiking boots after beating the E4.
When you say you have gone through all the events leading up to receiving the hiking boots, does this include receiving a phone call from Orion and/or going to the perfection base?
Oh, I don’t think so! It seemed like the plot stuff i could find when i was looking for it, it seemed like it was all main storyline that had already happened, and i wasn’t sure if the mentions of quests were distinct sidequests or just the part of the main story involving that character.
That’s good, i wanted to make sure i wasn’t just missing a whole part of the plot. thanks!

no problemo :))
yeah, everything after the first E4 win is considered “post-game”, per usual Pokemon standards. If you need more help, there’s a post-game guide on the wiki that details all of the different quests, just keep in mind that it does contain SPOILERS, as expected, so proceed with caution if you don’t want to see all of it (In that type situation, CTRL+F is your friend ;D). If you are interested tho and can’t find it yourself lmk and I’ll post a link to the page.

I’m still preparing for the Elite 4 but it is my understanding that the Hiking Boots are given in a post-game event that introduces a new NPC and this new NPC is the giver.
For clarification, “Post-Game” refers to plot events that occur after the first Elite 4 win.
