**adidas Men's Terrex Eastrail Hiking Shoes - Lightweight & Durable Trail Running Shoes for Outdoor Adventures - Perfect for Hiking, Trekking & Backpacking**

Well as you can see by my picture ,I definitely put these shoes to some good use. So 1st I choose these over the updated version cuz the new one seemed to lean towards hiking in cold climates. I live in texas where its hot as hell so I didn't want well insulated shoes meant for the cold. Btw I read someone complaining that they rolled there ankle cuz of no ankle support. Well they are clearly low tops so idk what that guy expected. So if you need that kind of support go buy boots not shoes. As for me I actually know how to walk well so I wanted shoes cuz boots are just to much to deal with unless I camp in cold weather again. So I own some Colombia hiking boots as well but prefer these for TX hiking. I am a 330 lb man and went on a 7+ mile hike involving steep amd rocky slopes. I had to climb big rocks and go down loose rocks. I also walked in really shallow water. They will still slip on slippery wet clay or algea covered rocks. So be careful on that but still gripped very well on regular wet rocks and everything else. And I saw ppl complaining about how they're not really water proof. Now I didn't get up to the laces but my foot was still submerged a bit and my toes were completely in the water. Well my feet stayed dry the entire time thru the several times I walked in a little water. Well hope this helps my fellow travelers in their decision. I am personally happy with this purchase.
