>>2478396>That's a marketing lie and I recommend you test it out yourself before deciding to go into the mountains in potentially wet conditions with something like a trailrunner.I compete in British Fell races, its all wet..
Guess what they're all wearing
>In some terrain you need a stiff midsole for optimal traction (rocks), in other terrain its the opposite (ice), and then there is terrain where it doesnt matter too much (wet bog).Wet bog is where a flexible midsole matters most
>Vibram generally produces outsoles with the maximum hardness they can get away with for the intended terrainYou are a fucking moron, Vibram produce soft compounds for many different runner brands
>Most chemical outsole makeups are more slippery (salomon)..... especially if combined with a soft overall sole make a boot slippery in wet earthy/grassy terrain,Genuinely making me laugh how objectively wrong you are, I'm doubtful you've ever worn a shoe on the slope
