I know alot of you out there probably spend a bunch of time outdoors so, what do you wear on your feet? I just bought my first set of proper hiking boots and the research I did online got me thinking that maybe we could use a thread like that here, save some googling for our members.
I have a set of Garmont Approach Hikers - low cut, great sole, good support, about $125 from Valhalla Pure Outfitters. Like the name suggests, they are apporach shoes, no need to go carrying the world on your back along the Chilkoot, they're meant for light day hiking. I've had them for three years and they show no sign of wear.
I tried a set of Merrell mid cuts for about a year and found them too soft. I almsot think that they're for the folks that wish to look like they hike...
I just bought a set of Dunham Wafflestompers - full grain leather. About $250 from Vallhalla again. What a bitch to break in, I've been wearing them for four days and today is the first day I am not in pain. They seem great so far...
I had wanted to try Gronell's or Danner's but couldn't find a dealer here. And with that, what's on your feet? Also, if you want to semi-hijack and talk about the rest of the gear you have feel free.
