I think they don't smell because they're very breathable and I usually wear either skinny socks with them or thicker merino wool socks with them when it's colder outside and in general merino wool sucks don't sweat and stink as much next I'll cover what I like about these shoes, first of all, i really like the outer sole on them a lot of the times I'm hiking on rocky terrain so I need the soul to be very sturdy and provide as much friction as possible they do bend a bit but in general, the soles are very stiff and very thick which means that I
can easily step on sharper rocks and not be afraid of spraining my ankle or anything poking through and injuring my feet these soles also provide excellent friction on gravel and rocks which means that I don't need to be afraid of slipping when I'm walking on gravel downhill another thing that I like about these soles is that they extend pretty high up from the ground and that they extend even higher up in the front and in the back this means that if I accidentally slip and for instance hit a rock pretty hard with my toes.
I won't suffer from any injuries the other thing that I like about these shoes is that they're very breathable for some people this actually might be a turn off because this also means that they aren't.
waterproof
but i already explained my thoughts on
hiking shoes that are waterproof
in my last video in a few words i'd much
rather
get something breathable not waterproof
i mean
i'm using them in late spring summer and
early autumn and if my shoes get
wet that doesn't make any difference for
me personally
i'll just dry in a few hours while i'm
hiking in waterproof shoes my feet will
usually be much more sweaty and at the
end of the day smell
much worse so i personally am against
waterproof shoes
that said they do provide some water
resistance
you see the soles are pretty high up
from the ground
you have this waterproof fabric around
the toe box
and the light green part of the fabric
actually doesn't soak up any water
really the only parts that get wet are
these grey mesh
panels this means that if you
accidentally step in a puddle or
if you're walking through wet grass for
instance for a shorter period
then your feet won't be soaked just get
a bit damp
the fourth and last thing that i like
about them is that they're very
comfortable
as i remember i didn't get any blisters
or sore feet from them
right from day one and that's still the
case right now they have
plenty of padding all around and in
general these are one of the most
comfortable
shoes that.
I personally owned but enough about all the things that i like about them now let's talk about all the stuff that i don't the first thing that comes to mind is that you have to tie them up pretty tightly otherwise when walking downhill my toes would slide in the foot end of the shoe and would end up hurting a bit if you tie them down pretty tightly that doesn't happen anymore next is that the shoe laces could be a bit better in general i think they're a bit too long and they have a tendency to untie by themselves but in general i guess the shoe laces aren't that bad because on other shoes my shoelaces won't be usable after i don't know a few hundred kilometers but these ones still look in a very good condition like after five or seven hundred kilometers and the last thing that i dislike about them is that they're pretty heavy i don't know where i heard that but i think i heard something along the lines that every kilogram on your feet is like 10 kilograms on your back or something like that but don't quote me on that though because i might be wrong but yeah in total they weigh 900 grams which is pretty much compared to let's say my trail runners which weigh only 600 grams i mean that's not a significant issue but still it's something that could be improved ,
