My mom recently bought me a pair of LA Gear shoes, the ones with the lights in them. I am on a fixed budget and they are the first shoes I have had in awhile. I like hiking though, and my church group is taking a trip to Moab Utah to do white water rafting, as well as hiking. I don't want to look like a loser. Thinking of not going, but I have not left the house besides going to church or the liqour store in quite some time. I think it will be good for me. Just trying to make friends, and I hope my financial situation won't hinder that. I have seen guys wearing them and think they look cool, but I just don't know. Also, Little cleo spoons are the best for norther pike.
