bumping this thread.

I tried trekking with the Vibram KSO. Very good traction even when your feet is underwater. Tried crossing a river with it once and it felt like suction cups on rocks and sand.

Downside is since it is a minimalist shoe it gets wet easily and the material isn't exactly fast drying. Ended up climbing a hill in soggy VFFs.

The sole material extends to the sides so you have adequate protection. If you don't like the feeling of overly thin material the KSO and other VFFs that have a 3mm or more layer in the sole provides a reasonable comfortable ground impact protection.

Save for the Classic & Sprint, running on hard concrete or asphalt road is ok with most models if di kaayo ka anad. The lack of the additional 3mm layer on the Classic & Sprint gives you a harder impact on the above surfaces. Then again, barefoot running is all about grace and form.

I prefer light and trekking boots , I have the Timberland pero ang na torture test nako for man size hikes ( LUTUPAN - GUADALUPE ) and ( LUTUPAN - SAN FERNANDO ) both in the 12 hour time range of rugged terrain and exposure to different elements , nindot ang NIKE and ADIDAS.

Wala ra naguba? I have this pair, but never pa nako na katkat ug bukid kay murag pang river trekking ra. I mainly use it for the gym of all places lol.

My Keen Targhee 2 mid boots are still holding up pretty nicely.
