Behold, the most common shoe on the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail.

How does this make you feel?

Looks like my ass blisters. I wouldn't put that on my foot even if someone paid me. God damn sheltered suburban moms

5.10 guide tennie gets my vote for all around best backpacking, scrambling, and light rock climbing shoe. Super comfy as well imo.

Current: magnum 6.0

Want: magnum 8.0/magnum 6.0

Reason to switch: soles coming off from use, multiple rips in boot.

These bastards are comfy as hell, and they've saved my feet from being crushed (once even from a ~400lb log) and from plenty of nails that would have pierced through normal shoes. I know they're a workboot, but I wear them all the time and never have sore/tired feet. Might even get a pair specifically for /out/ings.

Lowa Tibet GTX or Haix K2

>Reason for switch:
Magnums are unreliable but I've used them for a long time because I get them free through work. I've gone through 8 pairs in 3 years and they fail at inopportune times.

The Lowa or Haix boots are better in every way except weight and cost.

None really, this is a new pair and I've never had Wolverines, they're pretty comfy. I wear them mostly everyday since the weather is cooling down but haven't taken them /out/ yet.

Those look awesome man. How did a 400 pound log almost crush your foot? What were you doing?

We sometimes cut down trees, and since we don't have a loader, we have to push logs onto and off of the trailer.

Well, were unloading this big bastard section of a tree trunk. Me and one or two other guys are pushing the log, and since the trunk isn't perfectly round, it hit a odd spot and just toppled. I got everything out of the way, except for my toes apparently.

The boot saved me a few broken toes, and possibly a broken foot.

It's usually the pretty experienced hikers wearing sneakers/trailrunners on the PCT. The moms are wearing undersized heavy boots like Cheryl did, like the ones posted in this thread.

i've got the guide tennies. great grip obv, i'd just get the canvas version if you plan to use it in mostly warmer climates. the leather ones are very warm and don't really breathe.
