Hiking shoe vs. trail shoe?
I am going to the southern coast of Oregon during March 13-March 24. I hear that it rains often there, and I will be hiking and working outdoors often. Therefore, I am looking into buying some gore-tex boots but I cannot decide if I should get hiking boots or trail shoes. I think I am leaning toward trail shoes, but the Merrells that I was looking at were supposed slippery when surfaces were wet. I heard that they fixed it in later models. Does anyone know? Can anyone give me some good shoes to look into buying? I need to buy them by Friday, so please hurry! Thank you!
You should ask the people you will be working with what they wear.
