>>2453294>No dipshit. Thruhikers are wearing trail runners. You’re a faggot who’s never been hiking. Your opinion doesn’t count for anything and is basically just noise. Elevation has nothing to do with footwear either.Like big campfires, big trucks, big fish (i.e. dazed farm fish dumped into the water by a truck the day prior), and big burgers, big boots are an American white man staple.
They literally cannot conceive of a piece of gear nor any article of clothing being ideal if it isn't the equivalent of a Ford F-450 with seat warmers in its category.
Obviously, your boots must be as heavy and thick as possible, totally waterproof, fully insulated, and the tread deep enough to boil water in, with a steel plate to protect soft white man feet from small stones or (gasp) close contact with the outdoor environment.
It's much the same thing as when European explorers were wearing thick-ass textile clothing or even wool in deserts, jungles, etc.
