What footwear would you keep in your car if you might have to walk 5-25 miles through woods in an emergency?

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

I’m a single mom with 2 teenagers (boy, girl). I want to keep some footwear in the car for summer and winter to guard against breakdowns when driving through the Adirondacks. My kids generally choose VERY inadequate footwear, summer and winter. I have some wilderness training, the kids have practically none, but are heathy and take direction well in emergencies.

Which would be better to keep in the car: sneakers or waterproof hiking-type boots? Keep in mind that these would be inexpensive, and wouldn’t be broken in (would include several pair of socks and many band aids etc per person). Initially I thought sneakers, but now I’m leaning toward inexpensive hiking style boots, which say they’re waterproof. I’ve seen some in Target for $18.

Keep in mind that I’d LIKE to afford "the best of everything," but being wholly unable to afford that, would rather have SOMETHING other than the flip flips I know they’ll be wearing.
I think considering the region is important when you’re outfitting an emergency kit for your car (or anywhere else). I also think the shoes are actually quite critical, given what I know they’ll be wearing (inadequate, any time of year). Also, where we’ll be travelling there can be 30 mile cell-dead spots because of the mountains. The roads can become impassible in a serious snowstorm. I grew up in this area (upstate NY), so I know its dangers. I also know if there’s a serious storm, rescue could take a while, and it might be a serious hike to get cell service.

I’m not going nuts over this, I just like to be prepared (I’m a Virgo, ha ha). I can use a lot of the emergency stuff when I go camping in the summer myself.

This is my "short-list." As a backpacker, I always have hiking boots accessible.

Should FOOTWEAR count in the game scattegories for sports equipment with the letter F?

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

We played scattegories with my family the other night. The question was sports equipment with the letter F. My stepdad put FOOTWEAR as his answer. We argued about it for hours. Should it count?

I’d allow it. It would be hard to play most sports without the proper footwear – golf shoes, baseball cleats, ice skates. It’s a clever answer, and the spirit of the game says you should reward those.

Are sandals seen as an unserious and or carefree type of footwear for a male?

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

While I do like sandals I have always pictured them as not being the type of footwear for a very serious take charge type of guy. What is your opinion on that?

I cannot wait till the weather warms up so I can wear my sandals again. I think more men should wear sandals, as long they are in good taste, and they feel comfortable and they are clean and neat looking.

what kind of footwear are best for skateboarding?

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

iv just taken up skateboarding and i want to know what footwear are best for it. please help me.If their are any tips or videos that will help me please tell. Thanks again.

Cup sole shoes have a 1 piece sole.
Vulcanized shoes have a 2 piece sole.

If I were you, I’d start out with some vulcanized because since you are a beginner, your shoes wont be wearing out as fast as they do for a more experienced skater. Vulcanized give great board feel and are quite comfy. The only problem( not really a problem but a thing) is that they may start wearing out a bit faster that cup sole shoes. But I wouldn’t say that its anything to worry about when starting out.

I wouldn’t say that there is a best shoe for skateboarding. If your into more tech tricks( flip tricks), your shoes are going to wear out faster than someone who is into all round street skating. Also, different foot positions with wear out your shoes in different places.

Once you start to improve and you notice your shoes start to wear out faster, look into getting shoe goo( not glue, goo). Shoe Goo is a skaters best friend. Just apply it to the area you shoe(s) are starting to wear out, our you can just put it on before any wearing starts to happen, let it dry and it will keep your shoes safe for a while.

Some brands I recommend looking into are

Lakai
Vans
Emerica
Es
Supra
Vox
