??? For you that have hiked more than 20 miles of east coast with wet vs dry.(definitely not object to any terain experience any where in the Multiverse.
But what percentage of the AT do you think can handle a cheap road walking or running shoe vs. a "higher dollar"/or even cheaper """ trail runners or shoes or boots"""
I am coming to the conclusion that on average, one can get more traction in many cheap street sneakers for about 80% of the international AT. Even including some of the mud.. snow and ice meh...
Cheap more grippy quick wear rubber on some big chain crap sporting good store road walkers, and even dare say W world seems to afford me more grip than top end trail runners and boots....
Trust me, I've dealt with slick cheap sneakers In the wrong places, but it seems every high dollar "trail runner" I try any more just fail when it comes to moistened forever heat compacted dirt.
I'm hoping many of you understand where I'm coming from.
Thank you... - Broken Knee
And I do understand the whole road bike tire vs mtn vs $ concept. Just hoping someone shows me a trail that works best for me.
