5 favorite shoes

5 favorite footwear


No. Shoe Reason
1 Teva Universal Guide Five ten Rubber, fastek clips, teva skink, green roof stain. Miles of backpacking, bouldering, misc in these. I broke these the same day I may have broke my ankle. Teva quit using Five Ten in favor of their own Spider Rubber, which I think is inferior. They also quit making cool shoes about the same time, so I’ve been unable to replace these. These are my favorite shoes by a factor of 10. Teva – please make more. Utility rocks.
2 Adidas Adventure Low Looked cool and were comfortable. Rounded toe with full rubber nose, torsion bar that got ripped to shreds. I wrecked my bike a couple times because these were wider than the toe clip straps.
3 Asolo Tele-Pro These boots sucked, but I loved them. I had to rebolt the toe back on after riding for a day, and they leaked. Asolo replaced them with the inferior TeleBreeze. Asolo no longer makes Telemark boots.
4 Chuck Taylors New school year, new pair.There’s a reason that artists work on canvas.These were usually too narrow for my feet, but style seemed more important.
5 Teva Thongs Thong, Thong Thong Thong Thong.

  1. Remember that pair of shoes that I found on the side of the road when we were little? They looked like clogs with the elastic sides, and I wore them almost everyday. I just bought another pair at Yeagars, made by Dickies. Everyday I become more and more a product of Yakima.

  2. Yeah, they were on the edge of that washout near Ocean Shores. We suspected they were a dead person’s.

    You can take a man out of Yakima, but you can’t take the Yakima out of the man.

  3. I would have totally put the thongs as number 1. Thongs are always the best if you ask me.
