Hey Panama,
I remember that Benko "Trip" wore these on the trail-he swore by them. He
said they were a perfect combination of boots and trail runners:
lightweight, sturdy, water-resistant, and breathable. I tried a pair on
when I got to the REI in Bend (on his advice) but they were a little out of
my price range. Hope my second-hand opinion helps!
