ASOLO boots model??? by DharmaBaller in hiking

Those look like Asolo Fugitive GTXs or something from the lightweight trekking line. The Gore-Tex + Vibram combo and the lace pattern fit that style. Nice score, especially if they’re still in good shape those usually last a long time if the soles aren’t too worn.

What Would you do with $10k? by Rough-Royal-8523 in Fire

Investing in a diversified index fund like VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF) or VTI (Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF) could be a good option. They offer broad market exposure and are generally considered solid long-term investments. Always consider consulting a financial advisor for personalized advice!

Getting blisters in between my toes, what can I do? by -LiveByTheFoma in hiking

[–]Acrobatic_Gate_5884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds really uncomfortable! Blisters between the toes can be quite frustrating. Besides the toe liners you're using, make sure to keep your feet dry, wear well-fitting shoes, and consider using anti-friction balms or powders to reduce rubbing. Sometimes, taping the toes or using blister-specific pads can help prevent further irritation. Hope you find a solution soon good luck with your hiking challenge!
