Sneakers

[scarfmace]

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.

I know they are for trail running but leave that to the youngsters.

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

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.

@Chap approach shoes for the Brits and Americans (and other English speakers)

[Giles]

Yeah, I think of them as approach shoes, and that is how they were positioned originally. But when I went onto the Scarpa website earlier, they were being described as urban sneakers....Same shit, dubious positioning (but probably sell more as a result)......

@Kasi if wearing them makes you happy, then who am I to judge?

[Matt]

I have a feeling you’re going to anyway.

Always disappointing when I fail to live up to my own low standards
