Sneakers

@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)......

New Lego Crocs coming out. I know there are a lot of Croc's fans on here

@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

I picked up these DannerxProof N45’s last week.

A nice blurred line between a sneaker and hiking boot.
They really want you to know they are recraftable. There’s a sticker on the box and a stamp inside the shoe.

@jordanscollected I think they look great. Are they comfortable out the box?

[jordanscollected]

@SKT extremely comfortable right away. They have more cushioning than I used to in shoes and quite a bit of padding around the heel and sides of the foot.

The one downside is they aren’t waterproof. So real hiking in wet conditions could be problematic.

I was also told the Lucas were not repairable but I’m trying anyway with Shoe Goo.
