Tell me about your trail shoe
Lately we have been going hiking on trails and I want to get the right shoes. Can you recommend yours??
Re: Tell me about your trail shoe
What kinda trails are we talking? Distance? Terrain? Weather?
I'm in Seattle so we require shoes that can handle jagged edges, steep inclines, wet/muddy trails, etc.
I wear a pair from Columbia for backpacking (30+ miles)
and LOVE my Vibrams (Treks) for trail hiking/jogging. They are a thicker sole which makes them able to handle a rougher terrain (I know that KSOs are also well-liked around the Pacific Northwest), dry quickly, breathe VERY well, don't dig in anywhere, etc so they are incredibly comfortable. I also love that if I get them muddy, I can just throw them in the washer the moment I get home instead of dealing with laces and whatnot.
I have these and love them http://www.adidas.com/us/product/womens-running-vigor-trail-20-shoes/SP780?cid=G20330&search=trail+running
I did some jogging on the trail and couldn't feel any rocks or anything and they are so lightweight!
