Thread: Stalking shoes

Use the Salomon Speedcross 5s. Awesome for bush hunting Kaimais, Kaimanawas, and have used them in tops trips to Kawekas etc. They have great grip, and the rubber is really durable. Won't be going back to a boot for these trips.

Try the studded trail shoes (mostly used for ice running in Europe). Weigh nothing and have small titanium studs on some of the treads. You will never slip on rocks, trunks, roots again. I have used them for all my North Island hunting for the last 10 years, perfect for the slippery Galatea creeks. "Click" a bit on the rocks but once in the bush soundless. Sarva, Innov8 are some options. Look at Varuste.net
