Trial shoes are the answer?
Sorry if this is wrong subreddit but keen to hear some suggestions.
Im looking for a very versatile shoe (so my shoe count can be just 2) and i think perhaps a trail shoe may be the answer.
Mission brief:
- Lots of walking (asphalt/concrete around cities)
- Light/medium hikes (nothing crazy - dirt, gravel, grass etc)
- Can handle wet weather and dirty environments (when the weather is bad or its dirt roads, i want to wear them to keep my other shoes clean)
- NO RUNNING (I dont run, so its something to keep in mind)
- Light weight and thin (i travel so limiting weight is important, but also i have (unfortunately) thin calves/legs so i dont want bulky shoes)
- No wild colors. So i can wear them with a pair of jeans casually as well.
My initial thoughts are the Norda 001a or Norda 005 (in white). They both seem to tick all of those boxes. Do you guys think either of those shoes would fit the mission brief? Any alternative recommendations? Is a trail shoe a good idea?
The other shoe i thought about was the tropicfeel all terrain 2.
