Why talk about Boots —- you did not mention one brand —- stupid businessmen
I chose the hiking boot
Useful, good boots are very important when going for long hikes
Helpful video, but some brand recommendations would be helpful.
But what about the ugg boot
Best hiking footwear are Running shoes boot weight to much
what is shoe name, model ,second from left with red laces
do you do steel toe cap flip flops
What is the name of the shoe that is all the way to the far right? Yellow pair. Thanks
hands down salomon’s are the best!!
It´s good, that you didn´t tell, what are the best ones, because you didn´t show good boots. There´s only a choice between Lowa, Hanwag, Haix oder Meindl. Or someone really wanna tell, these boots in the video can mess with these ones? It´s the same to compare backpacks from maybe Colombia with ones like Deuter, Tatanka or Fjällräven. Haha. It´s like to compare a Chevrolet with the european version of an Audi or a BMW. Funny video.
need shoes with low-high Quality for hiking
are hiking socks are necessary for backpacking boots? like do they add more cushion on the heel and toes?
you seem like the most typical eco-hippie moron. mmmkay.
nice
Bought a pair of Kappa umberte running shoes for flat and wooded terrain on a hot summers day. I was super comfortable the entire trip. They don’t weigh much and are very breathable.
Guy on the right sounds like hes stoned as fuck
Thanks , good video.
lol i used my normal yellow work boots on the 70 mile high sierra trail, i put gel inserts under the normal insert and it was fine.
That´s nice information…thanks.
Excelent review, very complete. Thanks for sharing
Good video. These videos are gradually giving me the feeling that many outdoors people are Codependent.. sensitive types who are trying to get away from toxic people … or from people who have different life and cultural sensitivity. I was raised by a “RAGING Codependent” mother and I adopted her personality structure. Codependency is a wounded identity structure. It’s not us…it’s the “Loss of Self” that occurred during the first 6 years of life. Bottom line… we worry too much about what others think of us. “Codependents Anonymous Meetings” …or better yet, some of the books and videos by Darlene Lancer helps a lot… because often I’m reacting to or internalizing to other people’s traumas and complexes when I don’t have to. Thanks for the video dude.
I appreciate the guy with the cap asking the right questions and very creative. But the other guy seems like he could have elaborate more on each answer on the specific topic brought up. Seems like lazy answers for me to be honest.
Which would be the best soak for all day high physical out put in Africa heat please
the most important in hiking boot/shoes, it has to be lightweight and good material inner and outer sole.
Meindl are the only boots I buy. I have to import them, but they’re worth it.
What type of boot would I need for caving?
I wore adidas once, such a nice shoes, trekking for 4 days without socks, everyday treks for more than 12 hours,my feet doesnt blister at all. most comfort and so much cheaper than these hype..overrated !
Does anyone know what’s the brand name of the third boot that appears in the ‘four boot-types description’ ? (the one with the swiss flag on it) 1:08
Can anyone give feedback on the Palladium Pampa HI boot for long distant hiking? Im planning on walking the camino de Santiago in august, 550 miles of mainly dry, hot terrain one would presume, i figured a canvas boots would suit the jouney best?
give him the boot
The guy on the right is the poster boy for stoner.
Here’s the deal, man.
Your site has some of the best material on the topics you cover on youtube.
Thanks, and keep up the good work.
