WAYWT - Shoes/Boots Edition!

[jordanscollected]

@Giles A good pair of water shoes is needed without question when you will be walking and have wet feet for long periods of time. One thing that saved me in an 8 hour day hiking in and around water was wearing a pair of lightweight wool socks with them. your feet stay temp regulated, and you help avoid the blisters associated with wet feet hiking.

pair some ugly socks with those crocs killers and you are sure to need a really remote place to not get made fun of.

[Giles]

That is great advice - thank you

Croc killers for the win......

It’s not necessarily that I don’t care what others think about me, it’s that I naturally assume that everyone thinks I’m amazing. As far as I know I’m right.

@goosehd yo!

[Giles]

Yeah, Mojito's.....

[IrishHeart]

@Giles are those the GTX Wrap? If so, I have them in grey. Brilliant shoes

[IrishHeart]

Sorry, my mistake, just spotted that they are Mojitos.

[Giles]

They are Mojito wraps. I bought the grey, loved them so much, got the tan.

[goosehd]

…and convinced others that they are brilliant shoes. My wife now owns four pair and I have two…f’n influencers.

[yannis]

How sizing on those compare to Adidas or New Balance or Nike?

[goosehd]

@yannis …sorry but I don’t have any of those brands

[yannis]

Thank you.

[goosehd]

@yannis I did use their size chart and went with my usual ASICS size of US 10, EU 43

[yannis]

I wear asics size US 12. You think I should go with EU 45 or 46?

[goosehd]

@yannis with my ASICS they are just a tad long in size 10 and tight at 9.5. I guess that a 9 3/4 would be ideal if they made them. I went with the 43 as I’m closer to the 43 than the 42 in their charts.

[yannis]

Thank you. I understand

[IrishHeart]

@yannis I am a UK 11 and went for a 46 which is perfect.

[yannis]

@IrishHeart. Thank you

@Giles Great looking shoes ~ I’ve been lusting after a pair of these for a while now. How do they fit? I’ve heard they run narrow, but haven’t been able to try a pair on in person?

@jordanscollected If I’m not mistaken, I think you wear these as well. What’s your take on these shoes and sizing?

@goosehd So, are you an influencer now? Would they be good for e width feet? Can’t try them on locally anywhere …

[goosehd]

@Denman-John I’ve got wide feet and they work great for me. As the laces almost go to the toe, you have quite a bit of give where and if needed.

I ordered from Scarpa Canada (selection sucks arse), but they are a great shoe. I ordered the ones in petrol. They also come on sale from time to time on Scarpa’s site.
