What do /out/ists think of knee high moccasins for hiking/backpacking?

I've never seen an Indian with a rolled ankle. You should give it a shot.

Eh, I have had the same thought but never acted on it.

What do you usually wear? Stiff boots with ankle support are very different from a thin layer of soft leather.

sexy on grills in shorts

>MUH ANKLES

Your ankles are weak because you wear hiking boots with ankle support.

My ankles aren't weak but yours are.

Yes, I agree. But if he goes straight from boots to mocs, he is going to have to train his ankles.

OP here, I usually wear sneakers or trail runners

My backpack usually weights 30-35 lbs

After doing some research it seems that Feelmax shoes and the like would be a better option, as they would dry faster than leather. Hope they aren't overly expensive

I got a pair of mukluks this last winter (pic related) and I swear those are the comfiest shoes I've ever worn. They're built so well I'll probably be able to pass them on to my grand-kids too. One big disadvantage to more traditional moccasins is the leather sole. They'll work fine in dry conditions, but the minute it gets wet you're gonna be sliding around like nobody's business. Leather is also less durable than modern rubber, so they'll wear out faster. If you want good lightweight boots, I've heard nothing but good things about Lems Boulder boots, although those aren't knee high.

Kek you wanna wear shit tier footware marketed to dumb sluts for hiking

Good fuckin luck

>>987217
I think the experience would be fun, all ten minutes of it.

Just go barefoot, those shits won't last. Only squaws wore those shits anyhow.

>>987217
Those are for girls who want to look cool and earthy.

Had a pair of some sweet hand made ones, that's up until my dumbass left them out and my dog are them.

Comfy. As. Fuck.
Get some stuff to treat it for water, they become even better.
