>>1123356Meh, I'm living in a cool humid climate with tall, wet grass everywhere, so sneakers off-trail outside the height of summer are an absolute no-go, if I walk through that for 5 minutes in sneakers, they're wet as fuck, and at 5°C 95% humidity they won't "dry out quickly" as they probably do in your dry, hot Arizona desert
So I'm viewing the bit of extra weight I'm carrying as a free leg muscle training, I prefer a possible slightly higher strain on my back over trench foot any day
