>>2863550I also tried the non gore tex my last version of moans and they are complete shit. 40 bucks less but they don't dry fast like other non gtx, they smell God awful after less than a year, and most importantly the Vibram™© brand Vibram sole started falling apart 1 month in and at this point has 5 different large chunks missing across both shoes.
I've tried a few other brands on when I was so mad at this pair, but I don't like any of them. Hokas are clown shoes, altras are made for circuits freaks (they are way to narrow for me despite the toe room), and sportivas are both too narrow and seem fragile. I plan on wearing this pair of moans until they fall apart and just buying another pair, but gtx this time. They never let me down before.
I also still have a pair of army issue s2v boots I use sometimes on more bushwhacking summer hikes, and a pair of asolos I use when crampons are necessary. To answer op.
