    this is true of almost all shoes and boots. rubber gets harder in the cold, and whats sticky in warm weather can be slick in cold. thats why tread is equally important

    The weather is looking good. I just hope my job doesn't mess up my plans. It seems to do that with an ever increasing frequency.

    Jobs have a way of doing that sometimes. We are supposed to get a piece of Hurricane Andrea but it should be outta here by Saturday.

    HB, no gore-tex on this pair, but they still do not dry as fast as I would like (thinking that in addition to weight is plus for trail runners, while hiking shoes might provide better support and more protection).

    Thinking of trying out some New Balance MT1110 for a couple of weeks before I head off to Hot Springs-Dalesville/Waynesboro in July. Figure if they fit OK here, then they should last a month (~ 500 miles). Can always use the Chameleons again when I hit the rocks in future summers in places like PA, NH, ME. Or if I love the trail runners so much, maybe I just budget for replacing them more often. Seems like a reasonable plan for this summer. Or am I missing something?

    With my current life I am pretty much limited to Summer for any long term hikes, so that is not an issue.

    no you'll probably go through a pair of trail runners faster than hiking shoes, and i do use greensuperfeet to handle the terrain without foot fatigue.id say they should last you around 7-800 miles a pair.try them. like you said, you can always change back.

    I have been looking.......I'm old and stubborn.......I really have been looking to replace my leather Garmonts, they were and still are THE most comfortable thing I've ever had on my feet. I would wear them every day if I didn't want to wear them out! But, I'm looking!
