@SKT 2 color ways dropping 12/13.

[SKT]

@Matt thanks for the heads up. Will keep an eye out

[Matt]

That Nigiri color looks pretty rad.

@Matt just looked these up and was coming to say the same thing about that colorway.

Love my new Pumas

[SourPower]

Took @Giles advice and picked up a pair of Mojitos. Extremely pleased with the construction quality and out of the box comfort that these offer. Highly recommend!

I wore mine at the show in Berlin for 3 days, supreme comfort.....

The right size has finally arrived. I blame @Giles for this purchase, as he showed this brand and model here first.
I also don’t run, but for a brisk walk they should be outstanding.

@Giles did you got that pair in Sterling Blue?

[FlavourFade]

@SourPower love my olive ones!! Bought them in summer and already wore the hell out of them, no signs of weakness. Most comfortable sneakers I own.

Ditto......

@Giles I bought them after you said how much you like them and I saw them first at the bremen party on you

[Giles]

For me, the most tiring thing in the world seems to be standing around at exhibitions. These were amazingly comfortable at the Union show in Berlin this week....

[FlavourFade]

@Giles I can imagine. I make 15-20k steps a day at work on tiles, the mojitos are one of the few shoes I don't have feet pain in after my shift

@Karol Are these comfortable for every day use? Even perhaps for the gym? I know they are for trail running but leave that to the youngsters.

@will6er I will be wearing them more today, but everything points to them being a nice all-purpose shoe. I got them primary for the outsole. That Vibram mega grip that they modified is what I wanted the most. Walking around Stockholm is not just concrete and rocks but a fair amount of trail with slippery soil on a rocky foundation. When it gets wet, I had hard time to keep the pace and not worry about slipping.
More info will follow as I really start to use them outside.

They advertise them as urban sneakers. I wear them all the time.

I liked my first pair of Flower Mountain sneakers so much I decided to get a second pair for winter

I got the Flower Mountain x Dandelion Mountaineering Association - Back Country UNI

Sneakers in leather and waterproof technical fabric, with ultralight rubber sole and fluorescent compound. Part of the capsule created with the Dandelion Mountaineering Association.

I've been wearing them for about 2 months, they keep my feet warm and dry without overcooking them, something I've never had in a sneaker before.
also the grip is good on mud / snow and wet surface. In short, it's the best winter sneaker I've ever owned.

They are no trail running shoes. In Austria we call that type of shoe ‚Zustiegsschuhe‘ which means shoes you wear on a mountain tour in easier terrain before you later change to heavier boots or climbing shoes. I wear them as traveling shoes, they are lightweight, comfortable, waterproof and have enough grip for easier hiking tours.
