Einfach perfekt!

Mehr gibt es dazu fast nicht zu sagen….
Der Schuh hat mich jetzt über 2000 km begleitet. Egal ob auf einer Bergtour, im Trail oder zuletzt auf über 1000 km und 20000 hm auf dem Camino del Norte.
Ich hatte nicht einmal Blasen und auch im nordspanischen Regen hält er trocken.
Hab eben das gleiche Modell wieder bestellt. Daher uneingeschränkte Empfehlung!

excellent for fast hiking

As a big fan of the leather wandertoes 2.0. I tried both their successors: the mountain and explore addict.
I liked the explore addict best for fast hiking, and would recommend this to everyone with a slightly wider foot Great fit, secure ankles, light and fast. Would have kept the shoe if the fit would be just a little bit wider, like the leather wandertoes). Somehow it feels more snug because of the synthetic material and especially the less flexible enforcements around the ball of the foot. With a bunion, for me not the best fit. I love the shoe though, and hope there'll be a bunion friendlier (wide?) version somewhere in the future. I'll stick to the mountain addict as it feels a tad bit wider.

Super

Ich habe Probleme mit blauen Groß-Zehen und deshalb die Explore Addict mit der breiten Zehenbox probiert. Ich habe innerhalb von 11 Tagen 10 Wanderungen auf dem Goldsteig gemacht und bin sehr begeistert, dass mir der große Zeh nicht mehr solche Probleme bereitet hat. Absolut empfehlenswert.
Schade, dass der Mountain Addict nicht gepasst hat (rutschende Socken), sonst hätte ich den auch behalten.

Perfekt!

Bin damit ca. um die 100 km seit Kauf gewandert, jeglicher Untergrund und Höhenmeter. Stabiler Halt, Rutschfest, sehr bequem trotz Hallux Zeh. Der Preis hat mich schon abgeschreckt - die Qualität überzeugt. Sollten die im Sale sein, kauf ich die sofort nochmal!
