With fall drawing to a close and winter approaching quickly our last couple of fall guides will be focusing on gear that can take you from fall to winter. First up is shoes and socks. Our feet usually take a beating and having good footwear and socks are a must. As always feet are different, go and try some of these products on and find the ones that work and feels the best for you.
I am an outdoor fanatic who loves to do anything and everything adventure can offer. I have spent much time on my own and working with others in the water, the air, or in the mountains. One of the most important pieces of equipment to have no matter where you go is good footwear. The Sperry Top-Sider SON-R Bungee is designed for water sports, but it handles well in diverse situations.
The Taku was built to be fast and durable. If you have ever hiked in the Breeze GTX by Vasque you will love the feel of the Taku. The Taku is a full leather version of the best-selling Breeze GTX. The Taku features waterproof protection, yet is lightweight and supportive. Vasque takes all the good qualities of the Breeze and made the Taku a little more durable.
I have now had these insoles for about 5 months. I got a pair at the Winter Outdoor Retailer Show for the company to try out.
I have the kind of skin in which anything new on my feet or in my hands is guaranteed to give me blisters. It’s just a fact of life for me.
