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
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 TH-cam wht are better hiking boots or hiking shoes. Lol. Sorry. I'm the reason. They make these aggravating videos.
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.
Nice Yeti Kendall 😉
Hard choice between hoka or salomon boot 😢
