Keen Verdi Mid WP Fast and Light Hiking Boots First Impressions

I have been on the look out for the prefect light hiker for the past little while.  I need it to have great traction, lightweight, good comfort, waterproof but still breathable, and not look terrible.

    Jukz Shoes Review

    As you know, I am a big outdoor enthusiast. In the summer I run around usually in my Chacos until recently I went to the Outdoor Retailer’s Show in Salt Lake City, UT.  I met Jukz shoes, and I was impressed.  They make shoes out of recycled balls.  I thought that’s different–so we’re talking recycled soccer, football, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, and tennis balls.  Not only that, but also they have arch support and have some reflexology in the arch support.

    To be honest, the flip flops look great but not only that, they’re perfect to wear around the house or around town and running errands.  They are super comfortable. I’ve tested the soccer ball flip flops out now for over a month, and I’m a fan.  Check out these sweet pics, Torsten took.
