Thread: Bush Huntin-Salomon Trail runners

So over new years I got to try out something, some of you latched onto way back. I tried bush stalking in Salomon trail runners- with Bridgedale waterproof socks- knee height, and with neoprene 1 piece gaiters, and shorts and HnF longjohns.

Couple days wandering around the wet bush for Sika (none seen) after a shit ton of rain= "excellent".

I can no never go back to solid boots- these were soooooooooooo lite- and when the shoes were wet- they were soooooooo light- as in held a very low amount of water.
Feet/skin did get very slightly "damp" by days end- but I tell you, its far far far far far far better than wet feet straight off the bat and then soaked wet feet all day.
Quietness and ease of foot placement was noticeably better than with boots, and way better than with wet boots.
Grip on wet ground was on par/same with boots.
Low above ankle creek crossings were no trouble-socks sit under knee so no water got in.
Ankle support- I didn't have a single issue- though I tend to look after myself these days way better than I used to, diet-exercise/HIIT classes, limit the brown lemonades.
These Salomons are next level comfy- these ones I've been wearing around town the last 2 years- the tread is at the end of its life=new set soon.

In the pics- obviously i ditched the excellent Blue V socks and installed the Bridgedales.

I can never go back to boots inside the bush.
