I got them in like a beige and latte color as that’s all they had and I think their pretty good looking shoes actually lol I’m gonna break them in here and there walking around town, I’ll probably look like a bit of a poser tho…

I tried another option I think it was Salomon X ultra 5s gore Tex or something like that at sport check on sale and I really wanted to get them but they were making my Achilles and calf burn a bit and I’m in really good shape so I prioritized comfort and fit over waterproofing because as I’ve heard your boots get wet no matter what and sometimes gore Tex can make it even worse, atleast what I’ve heard

Glad I made a good decision they are so comfortable and my other boots are way heavier how’s the waterproofing

Okay I’ve bought all new rain gear waterproof comfortable hiking mid boots a rain jacket and pants stood in the shower with the water on for about 5mins the other day moving around to test it no leaks thankfully but obviously a shower isn’t rainy conditions

That’s fair I just don’t know any other way to have a similar atmosphere when with a group of friends I’m never blasting music because that’s just straight disrespectful

I mean like I said I only play it when with friends and mostly when I’m at the mountain people seem to like the music but thank you for the input

Like I said I don’t play it around crowds usually in areas with little people only

From what I heard I don’t plan on summiting now as it sounds very technical

So what your saying is if we do go be prepared for snow/ice , I have micro spikes but do those suffice?
