He's worn real deal hiking boots while hiking ever since.
I jumped on that bandwagon 9 years ago and never got off it.



I have worn out 4 pairs of them so far and just bought new ones for my upcoming Belize jungle trip in December. They take a while to get adjusted to but for me the most comfortable foot wear I have ever worn. Incredible gym wear too...you would be amazed how much stability you have using all your toes. Being a SoCal person I rarely wear shoes anyway

I think I've got 6 or 7 pairs right now. The wife has 4 or 5. We've both worn several pairs out. For a while, I had the kangaroo leather (looked like suede) versions in brown and black and wore those to work. I've also worn out several pair. I took 2 pair when we went to the Amazon a few years ago. I ran a 10k in Seattle in them a year ago too. We run and exercise in them. They are the most comfortable shoe that I've ever worn. Some have super thin/soft soles. Some have thick soles that you can wear in the woods and step on sticks and rocks without fear.

I first heard about them here on the board about 9 years ago and bought my first pair 8 years ago.

My first pair was like these


I used to be able to find really amazing deals on them. I often found the louder colors on clearance for 33-75% off. Yeah, I paid between $20 and 25 for a pair that had been $85 once. Most of the time I was able to find them near 50% off. It's been a long time since I was able to get any deals that good.

Very cool, and would like even better if roof had a 6-10 degree slope on it.

Looks more utilitarian than true Kammback.
