      Because we haven't evolved fast enough for our feet to change according to the "ground" we walk on today. Carpet, asphalt and such. Our feet should be collecting calluses from the day we start walking, so we can deal with all kinds of terrain, but the modern world doesn't allow for it. Hence shoes.

      @@Nornin That's 100% complete b/s and you need to stop parrotting it. People run ultra marathons barefoot. PLENTY of hard natural terrain where we evolved. Use your head. It's 100% a matter of learning how to have a proper gait and toughening up your weak feet. And trust me even with barefoot shoes you get plenty of calluses, let alone completely barefoot. You have no experience with it and that's why you're confused.

      If you read what I said again, you'll see that I never talked about people not being barefoot as a good thing. I talked about us not being barefoot enough to collect calluses and that being a problem to the modern man. Now, I live in Iceland where being barefoot outdoors has not ever been a thing due to the cold, and people here have to wear shoes. Therefore, there are more problems with our feet BECAUSE we haven't evolved because our modern world doesn't allow for it. You sound way too angry.

    Shoes are a personal preference and foot dependent - I need space, i need some drop, I need good tread and I want a rock plate. Zero drops cause nothing but pain for those of us that are flat footed and tightly strung. Brooks are too narrow.

    • @CptAngelKGaming
      @CptAngelKGaming 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They cause you pain because you're used to garbage shoes shortening your achilles and calves. Adjust to 0 drop so your feet can function like they're meant to. Flat foot has nothing to do with it. Do you seriously think humans are the only species on earth that you were born to wear artificial heels? wtf
      People with flat feet are the no1 happy customers when it comes to 0 drop shoes, especially barefoot.

    Unfortunately, this shoes may not fit all foot types. It's not a foot shaped shoe and too narrow in the mid foot. I tried wider sizes and was not nearly as comfortable as the lone peaks. It might get things right for a lot of people with certain shape, but not for wide feet.

    Speedgoat 5 hands down.
    The stability i have with those things is amazing. I have never felt like i will slip, i go down and up a lot of rough, loose, rocky, shale covered and even muddy tracks.
    Only things they don't do well is grip on rocks once they are wet and be able to travel across river rocks , they don't have enough stiffness. If they had the Adidas out sole with the loft and tread they would be the best shoe ever. I don't think the stiffness of the adidas has anything to do with the grip, more like the materials used on the tread.
    I've had two pair of Speed 5's and will try the SG6 when its time.
    I did try the Cascadia and to me they felt really unstable with a tread that isn't all that durable, for what i do at least. No thanks.

    Sneaker type shoes with soft outsole (shock absorbing and other marketing stuff) is ok for trails but sucks on any other mountain terrain. If you can't securely stand on your toes, you can't really hike. You will suck on complex steep terrain. I recently bought zamberlan 214 half dome shoes and it's ideal for hiking in my opinion. Light as sneakers but very technical and reliable on any terrain. Speedrunned screes and rocky slopes up and down. Climbed vertical rock steps, hiked steep snow slopes and glaciers up to 4000ish (with gaiters). Loved them. I'll never buy sneakers for mountains.

    I thought the Cascadias were christened by God himself until I started wearing Lone Peaks. I will say, using my Lone Peaks as daily drivers, and putting a lot of pavement under them, the traction wears quickly. If I only used them on the trail I probably wouldn't have a problem, but with how I wear them, I get about a year before they are as slick as dress shoes. (exaggerated, but you get the picture) But now that I am used to the wide toe box I cannot go back to a narrow toe box shoe like the Cascadias. Feels like wearing rock climbing shoes...

    I cannot get a good fit in any of the brooks cascading or otherwise. I literally hurt so badly I took the shoes off and wore flip flops the rest of the way home. I think with all the shoe reviews online. All you can really do is find a brand that works for you and go with that. I also saw a podiatrist. Which was a game changer. I no longer buy and try every shoe on the market. With the help of the podiatrist I know exactly what features I need in the shoe. And I buy from somewhere they can measure my feet each time I buy them because my feet change after each thru hike. And manufacturers make new editions of shoes with enough frequency that you have to be open to trying different shoes. As long as they meet , at least in my case, the specifications my podiatrist and I came up with together.

    There's no best shoe since every foot is different. For me the Brooks was the worst shoe I have ever worn. It took over a month for my blisters to disappear after 2 days of shorter hiking.

    This video was very informative. Of course when someone actually wants more of something, then it's good to have such specialized shoes. I.e. I want max comfort and I don't care that much about stability or protection, because I spend most of my time on roads rather than technical trails. So from this lot Speedgoats are the best. Adidas Free Hiker 2 Low would be even better, if it didn't have a serious heel issue (but please try it - it is as soft yet more springy than Speedgoat, has better lockdown, toe room and stability, because it is just wider). For the last year I have used New Balance Hierro v6, which is lighter, softer and more comfortable overall, but in this case very poor durability of the upper was its downfall.

      With trail runners (which I'd classify most of these as), application matters a lot.
      - If I am going through heavy mud, I'll want one thing (fairly deep lugs).
      -If I'm doing huge distances, I'll want another (cushioned shoe like speedgoats or even a road shoe).
      -If I'm in a dry climate with lots of rocks and technical downhills, I'll want a pretty heft foot plate for dropping onto rocks and very grippy rubber (basically a trail-runner/approach-shoe hybrid).

      I have been wearing a pair of speedgoat 5's for over a year, and they have been great for Spring/Summer/Fall. I wear light to mid weight socks with them, depending on the weather. The uppers have been solid but the tread on the soles wore down pretty fast, this pair is now my around the yard shoe, still comfortable but lacking in traction.

    I will check it out. I have several of the others but still searching for the “perfect” shoe.
    For what it’s worth I actually really like the Adidas Terrex a lot for daily use walking on pavement (around town) because that hard sole doesn’t wear as fast as others.

      True. Mine are a year old and there is zero wear on the outsole.

      trail shoes are for the trail, road running shoes are for pavement. quit wasting your money. if the shoes ha e lugs on the bottom they are trail shoes. if they are smooth they are road running.

    Well aren't all those shoes trail running shoes? You might be using them incorrectly you know... if trail runners use it, stability shouldn't be a problem right?

      I thru hiked the PCT, 2650 miles in 2014. Hikers wear trail runners and consistantly carry 25 to 35 pounds. In 2014 Brooks Cascadias and Altras were the popular shoes. In 2024 Topos, Altras, and Hokas are the popular shoes. I'd be surprised to see any hiker wearing Brooks or Merrells today. One Guy in 2014 wore boots. His trail name was Boots.

      Almost no shoe does well in wet (muddy) conditions your foot will slide, doesn’t matter how good the lugs are.

      I have used La Sportiva for hiking for a few years now, very good on rocks. Comfortable, stable, not light but protective and durable. I wish the toe box was wider. I will try on the Brooks Cascadia.

    What if you had to choose between the Terrex and Speedgoat? I'm leaning terrex. I think Hoka may be a fad.... only time will tell

    I invested in a pair of the Cascadia 16's after some previous videos. I absolutely love them! I am a bit limited in selections from most brands because I wear a size 15 Wide, so I was excited to see both the 16&17's are available in my size!

    It may be unpretentious but it's terrible for your feet. Now way I'm putting my feet into shoes without a wide toe box and doesn't have a zero drop. The Brooks doesn't make the list for shoes to promote healthy feet.

      What I’ve noticed is that you need a break in period in running shoes so they can mold to your feet. It usually takes me around 5-6 wears a several miles to break them in not these shoes in particular but other running shoes I’ve gotten in the past.
