Healthy.
I'll put Merrell vaelluskenkäni retire today.
and change these trail running shoes.
But first.
I criticize these Merrell shoes and I will explain why those loose they retire.
These are, therefore, Merrell Capra Mid GTX hiking boots.
I bought them in December 2015.
It is now May 2017.
The shoes are, therefore, been in active use for about a year.
Once I went up to these snowshoeing Feed National Park.
Minna had forgotten vaelluskenkänsä own home.
Fortunately, I was with these and big talvikenkäni.
Minna had to use three or four pairs of socks wears, so that my shoes suitable for him.
I had these on my leg.
The trip was, after all, really awesome, and one remembered.
We stayed in a changing though, so I was able to easily keep your shoes and socks dry.
then let's not more than a criticism, beginning with the merits of the shoes.
I was surprised at first how comfortable these shoes were.
These did not require break-in.
and I was able to go directly to the hike in the store.
The shoe is extremely durable ulkoota and Vibram sole is still in good condition.
outside of the shoe is very little visible wear.
Vibram bottom of the Speaking of which, the ground pattern of this shoe is good and provides excellent grip märilläkin surfaces.
I've been more than satisfied used in this Megagrip-rubber.
I think the shoes also look good.
Color and design is quite calm and neutral, which arbitrary liking.
Today the trail running shoe designers seem to compete with each other on who creates the ugliest shoe.
Merrell used in these shoes a little more unusual shoe laces.
They have the usual thinner and shoe eyelets are really just holes.
Tightening the tapes thus requires a stronger dexterity, but the shoe may be, after all, really the hub of two.
Advantages through the foreman qualification I can now tell you exactly why these shoes those loose retire, although they are still in good condition.
First, the shoe canvas has shrunk slightly as a result of continuous wetting and drying.
because the shoes do not seem as good.
The left shoe.
there is a problem on the inside, where the interior of the shoe is left out of the bottom.
I can actually catch up here and pulled out of the fabric.
Thus.
This can probably repair spray plaster.
but walking these as such is really painful and feel my legs in the central part.
Right shoe is otherwise in good condition, but something has happened right here.
For some reason, little toe and squeezed it while I can not fix the problem.
Removing the insole did not help.
With time, the tip of the shoe is thereby reduced.
It is now too narrow for my leg.
If you know me at all, then you know that I am not a friend of Goretex shoes.
The case is not did not know different.
After wetting these shoes will take an eternity for drying.
These shoes got wet when I was already in the first day Salamajärvi national park male reindeer round.
I got them dried to go back home.
These shoes repaired, and will give them further.
The shoes are still in good shape, and I do not want to throw them away.
These are perfect certainly a bit smaller foot.
That is, these out of here, and the following pairs.
These are Inov-8 X-200 complex.
As you can see, as I have already had with these outdoors.
They seemed pretty evening and was great to feel the terrain in the legs.
These shoes are also so supple that my legs were able to move very naturally.
I do not speak this time much more minimal footwear.
I go through these rather quickly, as if the thumbnail previews.
These Inov-8 X-Talon 200 are light, airy and have no Goretex membrane.
One shoe size 45 weighs about 300 grams.
These base pattern is pretty serious.
I believe these to work on my hiking style very well, because I do not normally leave the paths.
At least not often enough I needed heavy hiking boots.
These coloring is pretty crazy, but it seems to be the norm these days with regard to the path running footwear.
These good side is that I can take the insole out and use it as the adoption of distress signals.
The shoes have a "Standard Fit 'fit, which means.
that these are wider and me-friendly tip design.
I do not understand why many shoes do not match the shape of the foot, but tend to squeeze the toes together.
For example, the Salomon shoes have a very aggressive towards narrowing towards the tip.
My reasoning switch to lighter shoes is that instead of supporting the feet and ankles may also increase.
I have used a minimalist or barefoot shoes a year now.
and I feel I'm ready to leave the hiking boots winter hiking.
I also read a lot of barefoot- and minimalist shoes.
Surely the answer is no, and this research is still in progress availability of skills, but it seems that in some cases, less may be better.
Minimalist shoes are not for everyone.
You need a certain flexing muscles and joints, so some kind of transition period is important.
Is this then the better the longer run, there is still an open question.
I work gladly test a person in this case.
Let's see how the next few years is when I get to do with these longer hikes.
I'm still going to maintain our traditional Goretex nahkakenkäni for winter hiking.
I have good experience Goretex footwear skiing in the winter, when it is really cold and the air is dry.
Jalan sweat still remains in the shoe, but not nearly as badly as the warm weather.
I look forward to these tests.
Sustainability is of course a concern.
These shoes are not acquired for use in five or ten years.
but I have noticed that my legs are not the same size as the beginning of the hiking hobby.
I have not really benefited by trying to invest in expensive and long-lasting hiking shoes.
And there is nothing so terrible, than to wander badly istuvissa shoes.
Of these, I have no more to say, at least not so far.
Days alkavata visit brighter and warmer, so I hope to do more hikes in the coming months.
I'll see you again, and to be sure.
