Hiking/trekking shoes?
Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2009 5:41 pm
I am very puzzled. 1½ years ago I bought a pair of Raichle nova xcr ls trekking shoes. I have used them moderately, but nothing really hardcore. I noticed the bottom layer of sole had started peeling away on the right shoe, so I brought it to be fixed. The repair-guy found out that the middle layer had started going soft, so any repair wouldn't really hold.
So now I've got a pair of 300 dollar trekking shoes, that are almost done for after only 1½ years of moderate use. Wondering if it's really normal to wear out a pair of trekking shoes in that short a time?
I am a student on a very tight budget, so I simply can't afford to make the mistake of buying a shoddy pair of shoes again, and I can't live without trekking shoes
So, do any of you have any good suggestions for trekking shoes in the 300-dollar range, shoes that can stand a lot of differing weather from frost, snow and ice to lots of rain, and sun?
