After spoiled two pair of my shoes within 3 hiking trips, I decided to switch to the adidas kampung & been sticking to it until today. Cheap, good grip & very durable.

Meet up could be ridiculous at certain times. I once hiked with them before and most wore kampung adidas (local make rubber shoes). By the way, that trip was poorly organized and half of the trip members got separated.

Sport and running shoes is definitely a no for hiking terrain. This is one of the regular mistake where hikers do.

Hiking shoes brands such as Lafuma, Columbia, Timberland, Vibram and Quechua are good example and I rather spend the few hundred bucks to invest on a proper footwear.

What is the use of a good shoes if you are not good in controlling your footing? My best advice is practice your foot placing to know which area should provide you the grips at all time.
