Why? How? Do you never sleep, or wash?I will wear it 24 hours a day in hot Africa.
I bought La Sportiva shoes a few hours ago. I live in a small town, so I couldn't try on some brands I wanted. I went to a store and it had La Sportiva shoes. I tried them on, but they didn't have the color I wanted, I ordered them and in a few days I will get them.On your other thread, you mentioned having or considering several pairs of shoes, but not these ones. Have you made a decision on the shoes?
Also, I am puzzled by your statements that you will be wearing both socks and shoes for 24h/day.
Sorry, 12 hours.Why? How? Do you never sleep, or wash?
I will go to Angola and for the second time in remote areas. I have been to Africa many times to visit various countries. I travel a lot and know South America and Asia very well. I like hot countries. hahahahaWhere are you planning on walking? Africa is an awfully big place. You may think it’s a long way to the chemist’s but, compared to Africa, that’s nothing
Thanks for the interesting news.Consider socks made with Coolmax fibers. I link to one brand that describes why to use Coolmax (briefly, it wicks moisture from the skin to evaporate on the outside). Other brands use Coolmax in socks also and with different percentages of the various fibers.
What is Coolmax and What Does it Do for Your Feet?
Coolmax is a high-tech synthetic material. The fabric was developed to keep athletes comfortable. What is Coolmax and how does it work? Find out here.www.enformasocks.eu
This makes your previous posts requesting advice regarding shoes, and now socks, puzzling at best. You are an experienced traveller with experience in Africa, Asia and South America.I also have more important trekking shoes for particular terrains, I don't only have Ultra Raptor II shoes.
I have never been interested in shoes or socks. Maybe it's the first time. I don't visit countries to make long walks. I go to a village in a remote area and live with the natives for a period of time. So for me shoes and socks are of important but to avoid suffering a bad purchase. Since I wanted to buy an all-purpose shoe, different from the one I already have, I asked for information. Did I commit a venial sin?Why are you asking questions, to which you apparently already know the answers, on a website dedicated to the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela in Europe?
Hi, I have LA SPORTIVA Ultra Raptor II shoes and I will soon be leaving for Africa to walk on rough, but easy trails. The sun is blazing and I need short, fresh socks. I have done some research but I have not been able to find a sock for me. I will wear it 24 hours a day in hot Africa. I can only find warm trekking socks. They don't interest me. Any advice with a specific model? Thanks!
I agree. I use Darn Tough wool socks in my La Sportiva Raptor II GTX shoes/boots in all weather and terrain. 50+ years ago I wore 100% wool Army issue socks in the jungles of Vietnam. Worked well then too. Buen CaminoI would recommend Darn Tough socks, they come in Tab (shoe height) and 1/4 length. Even though they are wool, they have thin versions designed for runners. Wool breathes well, it won't hold sweat and get soggy like cotton or some synthetics. And you can take 2 pairs and wash out one while wearing the other, they won't get smelly. Best of all, they are lifetime guaranteed, I have sent in a pair that got a hole and they replaced them free.
