"Striking a nice balance between rugged boot and lightweight trail shoe, the Aretes are an interesting hybrid to check out." Read on to see some snippets. ⠀ And, thanks for the props, Professor!⠀ ⠀ "These shoes have seen about 50 miles of hiking across Alabama in the winter and spring of 2020. They’ve climbed up the steep rocky start of the Appalachian Mountain Range on the start of the Pinhoti Trail, and along the way they’ve also scuffed through mountain puddles and creeks. They’re definitely lighter than traditional boots, but I could easily tell I wasn’t in the trail runners I’d grown accustomed to. Indeed, they are a solid 'in-between' shoe.⠀ ⠀ "To start, there are definitely some things to appreciate about the ruggedness of the shoe. These guys are thickkk compared to trail runners I’ve grown accustomed to hiking in, so it felt like wearing little tanks down the trail. It’s hard to feel much of anything through the Aretes’ souls, so sharp chunks of large gravel on the Pinhoti Trail road walks were minimally noticed. The bottoms are also thick enough that it’s possible to traipse through an inch or two of water without getting wet feet. I wouldn’t plunge through a creek in these any time soon, but with some careful foot placement, these come pretty close to all terrain.⠀ ⠀ "The Oboz Arete Low Hiking Shoes are a jack of all trades, but a master of none. These shoes are very good at a lot of things but not the best at any one thing (other than looks, I stand by it). This is not a bad thing. Honestly, in some ways that’s as good as a shoe can get. All these brands are always striving to be the best at everything, but that’s just not realistic. What is realistic is this shoe. It does so much well that at the end of the day, the sum total really is an excellent piece of gear to keep you happy and efficient on the trail."⠀ ⠀ 📷: Carl Stanfield, for @thetrek.co⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #truetothetrail #shoereviews #hiking #backpacking #thruhiking #hikingshoes #hikingboots」6月30日 6時00分
