These weren't to expensive to pick up when i needed them for a backpacking trip. Didnt have time to break them in before the trip so i was neevous about having blisters covering my feet after the trip.
My buddy bet me that i would have blisters when we set off. And i felt somewhat confident that i could make it without having any. I took the bet.
I came back to the car on the second day and was blister free!
These shoes won me a candy bar.
