Hey guys!
I'm going to be hiking on the American Discovery Trail this January and I'm expecting some cold, wet conditions for my start. I'm trying to find a good minimalist hiking shoe that will deal with wet and cold fairly well. The shoes I've been using are Vibram Five Finger KSO's and they do horrible with wet/cold. I don't mind them at all when it's dry but when they're cold and wet, it goes downhill. :-/. I'll be hiking a good deal on roads so I want something that can deal with the slushy conditions I expect.
Is there anything out there that will have a sole like vibrams? (flat, somewhat thin-soled and waterproof would work best). My main beef with the vibrams is that the snow or moisture gets between the toes and warms up and gets wet through the fabric, otherwise I love them).
