Shoes: The most important, and least optional part of my entire get-up are my shoes. Lauren, my sister, and I both got our shoes a few years ago. We both chose Oboz sawtooth shoes. Erin, last year, also independently chose Oboz sawtooths. Of course, making sure that the shoe feels comfortable on you should be priority number one. I would recommend giving the Sawtooth shoes a gander though. They have formed a cult following online, and for good reason! Erin and I both prefer shoes with little ankle support, allowing for greater mobility. That’s personal preference coming into play again.
I was just looking for a new pair of hiking shoes. Thanks for the recommendation!
