my hiking shoes are admiral brand. that day in Nuang seems useless on after-rained muddy terrain
grip is no good
i've been checking a brand called Salomon (www.salomonsports.com)
it has got water-proof hiking shoes but i couldnt find it here

Hi all...

In regards to hiking shoes, can I suggest jungle boots? Yes...boots.

I know adidas kampung is the best. I own pairS of them
They are great but we all have to admit that it does not offer the greatest grip and ankle protection around. Especially when descending a (steep) slope.

Now...with hiking boots that are branded (lets not mention brands), I would have to say NO to most of them. The reason is simple, hiking boots that are weatherproof, waterproof etc are just plain useless in our tropical jungle environment. Go through a river and you'll probably have a fully soaked boots. Especially those with Goretex linings.

The British SAS spent time in Malaysia and othr very unforging parts of the world. What they came up with is the simple jungle boots, lower manmade soles with upper canvas. More importantly, draining holes near the bottom soles for water to leave the boots. The holes also allows the feet to 'breath' fresh air, lowering the chance of you getting trench foot after long hours wearing them. The high lacing provides not only ankle support but also protection from snake bites.

The only problem with jungle boots is that with a new pair, you really really need to get used to them by working them in. They need to be seasoned. Where to get them? I honestly don't know where in K.L but perhaps some of the uniforms stores where they sell army good. i got mine from bundle of course

There's a short write up on the below link that you can read about jungle boots if you like.

for the best hiking shoes i ever had is a hi-tec.but u have to be smart to choose cause it's have a lot of model.before tat i have a lot of trekking shoes but nothing can compare this hi-tec in my time..besides it can hold n support ur ankle and comfortable to wear in our jungle even in dry and wet condition,it give greatest grip.but this hi-tec shoes can be worse when u trekking on the slippery rock.other than tat is very good trekking/hiking shoes.

Hi-tec

Technology

my 2 cent

For me myself....skills in always more important then the shoe.
if u got skills then u can control the situatatiom....do not let the shoe control human but human control the step.

what is adidas kampung?
where can i get 1?

Nuang organizer is Tschin, most of us prefer sunday since saturday we are busy....

Actually i oso prefer Sat... scare Mon need to take MC ... ahahahha

Ya now i'm helping Tschin to promote Bkt Tabur
Mon take MC good what, can can fully utilize your MC don waste it

My preference for the Nuang trip is also on Saturday, but 2 bad need to answer work related calls despite not working on Saturday. So I put it on Sunday.

After nuang trip it will be tiring, but I dunno whether doctor will issue MC for tiredness or not. Any1 happen to know doctor who can issue this type of MC pls recommend, hehe

Aiyo TsChin you so fit run up and down the hill when raining in Nuang last time also no problem, still need MC? Tire is for sure but next day should recover gua. This time we well prepare then we should be able to make it one. Just pray don rain since recently keep raining

So the naung trip izzit confirm 20th july?

good luck to you alll thn...

now nuang abit phobia liao
the first part really boring
