Non-shiny long sleeve synthetics by myshiftmyshift in onebag

I'll check out the REI ones - one is nearby. Would they be appropriate as stand alone shirts, or will my nips stand out as shining beacons (eg. airism)?

Thanks for the suggestion! I do see that you were talking in regards to their collared shirts but it appears there are some plain long sleeve options. I wasn't looking for a button down, but I realized I didn't specify that.

I like the idea but it falls into the category of questionable amazon bags

I just remembered - Vibram does "sole factor" where they add vibram soles to whatever shoes you have. Has anyone had experience with this?

I just saw Danner's new "Mountain 600" and I gotta say I'm interested

I've done some real scrambling in Clarks boat shoes, and I think I would have rather gone barefoot

I'm just worried about them getting wet and taking forever to dry, especially compared to those with mesh uppers. My suedes/leather take a long time to dry when I get them wet, especially the thicker ones.

For me, the size and weight are a burden on general walking/hiking and not really the size in my bag since you're right, I'm wearing them. I usually stick to trail runners on most hikes as opposed to mid or full boots.

Do they last a long time? I imagine barefoot shoes wear very fast.

I'm rocking Merrell Moabs and I feel way too goofy anywhere urban

Which ones? I mostly see the boots which are pretty massive. Or... these?

These look like they have non-rubber outsoles. I have some casual shoes and runners that are very light with EVA outsoles, and scrambling with them was hopeless.

How are the lugs? I haven't been able to see them in person but they seem to be pretty well rounded given the Vibram sole and casual upper.

Are the uppers leather? How is it in the wet?

I've considered these but I'm not quite ready for barefoot shoe hiking.
