This is a joke - no one wears boots any more, and especially not Gore Tex water proofing . AT Trail :: The majority of hikers prefer trail runners over other types of footwear. The number of hikers in trail runners has generally increased slowly every year. Almost 80% of hikers started in trail runners, with only 13% in boots at the beginning of their thru-hikes. By the end, those numbers shifted to over 90% of hikers in trail runners and less than 5% in boots. Another 5% of hikers wore low-top hiking shoes, two hikers wore sandals, and one hiker wore a high-top trail runner for the majority of their hikes.
Big fan of the La Sportiva TX series! 6:06
Just getting into hiking and stumbled across this video. Great work!
Great video, as someone from FL, the details are helpful
What’s a good shoe for summer and coastal hikes? Is anacapa 2 good as a versatile for all purpose shoe… Talking European summers so not that hot maybe
Any thoughts on waterproof boots for Icelan? 2-3 miles per day but a good chance of rain.
It’s very aggravating, to me at least, when people mix hiking shoes and hiking boots. Shoes should be compared to shoes and boots to boots.
Lol. I specifically typed into UA-cam wht are better hiking boots or hiking shoes. Lol. Sorry. I'm the reason. They make these aggravating videos.
Nice Yeti Kendall 😉
Hard choice between hoka or salomon boot 😢
