Yes, I thought they would be good for dry bush stalking too, like in the Kaimanawas. So far I've hardly used them for hunting because I don't like the idea of carrying my regular boots / shoes around in the pikau. Also, they're not a good camp / hut shoe as they take so long to get on and off and aren't waterproof enough to go out for firewood or to wash a pot in the stream.

They do have fantastic grip and feel. You'll never sprain your ankle while wearing fiver fingers. But they'd be no good on sealed footpath - too hard underneath. I've used mine mostly for walking the Hakarimata steps and they're almost worn out now. Does anyone know where you can buy them in person or online ?
