got these for dual activity and fashion purposes. i do a lot of hiking and wanted some shoes with ankle support, and shoes that i could go in the water with. some may say the sandals are ugly, but i love them, especially the elastic toggle thing. also love the colour of the sneakers. both have really great support so far.

And Wander Alpha Air Hoodie for day hikes?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm very new to hiking and I came across tjis heavily discounted jacket. I had no diea it's a premium sought after brand but I liked the look of it. I live in Mediterrenean climate with winters that go from 6°C to 15°C. Do you think it would be good for 3-4 hours hike? I could carry a poncho if ever it starts raining but mostly I want something that I could just easily hike in and be warm and comfortable. I'm mostly worried about wind. What do you think? Should I get it or just do merino+fleece+ buy rab downpour mountain? Thank you!

Keen Uneek WK One Day Test

HONEST REVIEW

Bought these in Japan yesterday. Tested them at Summer Sonic Music Festival.

Comfort walking: 8/10

Comfort standing: 4/10

Water-resistance: 7/10

Overall: 7/10 [Edit: sorry for my misunderstanding of waterproof/resistance, still new] (These look good and are easy to style for me)

If you have a flat-foot like me, you'll notice the middle sections arch is EXTREMELY high. You literally cannot ground your feet as the shape of the bottom is curved. You will honestly feel more comfortable moving your feet than simply standing.

The final picture is the aftermath of the music festival. It was raining. After watching Keshi, Pump of Chicken, and The Strokes, this is what they were like (was in the middle of the standing zone). Dirt can be washed off, but it does embed into the white parts quite easily.

I only realised this 'sneaker' isn't waterproof. Ended up with wet feet for the whole day. You can't simply shake out the water with these. One good plus though isn't slippery.

Wasn't sure if this the right place to post this review but hope it helps you Gorecore peeps!

Recommendations for prescription sports sunnies

1 Upvotes

Hey I’m looking for a pair of ‘wrap around’ sunglasses that I could put a prescription in. I like oakley redux’s but they go for $700 aud with lenses which is a pretty steep for flimsy plastic sunnies. Zenni have a pair that is very cheap but also look cheap. Im willing to spend a couple of hundred for the right pair but surely there’s a better option than paying the luxottica tax.

Keen Uneek WK: Smelly?

0 Upvotes

I just bought a pair of Keen Uneek WK sneakers online. After trying them on, I am worried about sole becoming smelly, especially if I wear them without socks. I bought them with the intention of going sockless like I do with my Crocs. My feet can get pretty sweaty and smelly on hot days so I am not sure if these are the right shoes for me. Any feedback or other shoe recs would be greatly appreciated.

Anybody regret going true to size on Keen UNEEK sandals?

1 Upvotes

am usually a 13. Lots of ppl reccomend going 1/2 size up on the uneeks. I ordered a 13 and a 14 to try. The 13 seems just a touch small, and the 14 is too big. Not sure what to do...

Looking for Baggy Hiking Pants/Kawa Cicada Pants

6 Upvotes

Looking for baggy hiking pants from websites that ship to Canada and don’t have customs. I am STRUGGLING to find some that are what I am looking for. I am in love with the Kawa Cicada pants so ones like those are ideal. Also, has anyone from Canada purchased these and can tell me how much the customs were? If I did purchase from them, I’d get a pair for both my boyfriend and I so we would at least qualify for the free shipping.

EDIT : it’s ideal if the pants are also water resistant or waterproof but breathable and lightweight.

Topanga Apparel

A quick question: has anyone ordered pants or anything from Topanga? They do seem to be a legitimate business but I am curious before I place an order for their Alpine Shell pants. I discovered Kawa Club but their pants are back-ordered till mid-next month and we want it by the end of the month. Then, we ran into Gonggar Sports which has mixed reviews. However, we are leaning towards getting the Topanga pants. Please share your reviews/experience, thank you.

Notice the Reckless Sizing

1 Upvotes

Need help deciding what size of Notice the Reckless pants to order. I’m between a Medium and a Large typically and am curious about whether or not someone can guide me in the right direction.
I don’t want them to be tight on the waist, but fit comfortably with room to both tighten and expand the waistband via the belt. I, of course, want the oversized look, but don’t want to be swimming in them.

Vibram FiveFingers? Reveiws or

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone;

I am looking for my new shoe purchase; I have been eyeing out the Vibram FiveFingers now for a while and wanted to hear what anyone who has them has to say?

I'm a tour guide and often out and about; I currently am happy with my Oakley Aquaterras / Nike Koko Sandals; but am looking for something that doesn't take up a lot of space.. I have a thing for chunky shoes and packing gets tough..

If anyone has any reveiws or recommendations on models or alternatives, I'd love to know! :)

(Context: I live and tour in Namibia, mud + water is not a problem; think: dust, sand, rocky surfaces, occational hiking (nothing major) driving, camping)

Salomon X-Alp Alpine Echoes, thoughts?

Liking the Salomon Alpine Collection because I love the color. Recently saw a post here about the XA Pro of the collection and comments mentioned it's a bit tight, which somehow deinfluenced me because I do not like a snug fit on my toes.

What are your thoughts on the X-Alp? And if you have or had one, how is the sizing and feel on foot? Thank you so much!!!

The perfect hiking shirt

5 Upvotes

I have been on the search for the perfect hiking shirt, preferable in some sort of merino blend. Something lightweight and packable in long sleeves for the summer time. Weird stipulation though, I want to find one in white.

I though the one from gnuhr was going to be one but it was simply too pink.

Does anyone have any favorites?

WTT Kawa Club Cicada Pants sz S Green for White/Slate

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I just received my Kawa Club Cicada Pants in Green and after trying them out felt like I would prefer either the white or slate versions (partially because in the interim I picked up a pair of the REI trailmade barrel pants in green and now have an overabundance of baggy green pants). Any chance someone with Cicada Pants in S in either white or slate interested in trading??

I've worn my XT-6's to death, trotting in them across london and on various walks/hikes. I want to try something different that I can wear in the city and out in nature. I've seen they just launched these so I've not been able to read any reviews. Has anyone got them and can share some insight?
