Footwear.

Time for some new shoes and boots. I have been wearing Dr. Martens boots for the last 12+ years, however, they were bought out a few years ago and changed from being hand-made in England to being made in China. From that point, their quality had gone way down. I finally decided it’s time to try something different, especially since I am doing more hiking and other outdoor activities.

After some research, I ended up going with a light weight and waterproof hiking boot, along with a pair of waterproof cross-trainers.

The hiking boots I got are the Keen Targhee II Mid:

The cross-trainers I ended up getting are the Merrell Moab Gore-Tex XCR:

Both pairs are very comfortable. I’m looking forward to testing them out 🙂 Hopefully they live up to their waterproof and breathable claims. If I have any issues with either, I’ll be sure to post up my problems here.
