    An Ode to a Slow Slog in Heavy Boots

    Well that's what I had in mind for the first half of my walk. Then I had to go up hill. I just recently came into a pile of winter hiking and mountaineering gear. Amongst the lot was a pair of 12yo Salomon Mountain boots. So I took them for a stroll. The first half hour was pleasant because...

    Kahtoola k10s and trail runners?

    How light a shoe can you get away with using the Kahtoola K10 or Hillsound Trail crampons or similar? Anyone tried putting a piece of plastic bw the outsole and the crampon to ameliorate the spike pressure on your feet? thanks

    I hate toe rocker.

    You know, the way your shoes curl upwards in the front. My feet aren't built like that are yours. Here's a test, stand in your bare feet, easy to balance right? Now curl your toes up so they are not touching the floor. Did you feel the weight shift to your heels, did your knees locks? I hate...

    Being a svelte 200lbs and a fierce supinator I crush the EVA foam that makes up the mid sole of trail runners. I need a shoe that does not have the EVA midsole. My supinated stride forces the foam to compress on the outside very quickly. So I am looking for a slightly more durable shoe for...
