Let’s talk about shoes! Footwear can make or break your hiking experience. I’ve been searching for the right hiking/backpacking shoes for so long. For a quick summary with the pros and cons of these shoes skip to 12:41
I tried expensive boots and trail runners, but still ended up with a bad case of foot pain, blisters, and buyers remorse. I wanted to give barefoot/minimalist shoes a try but didn’t want to make another investment I’d regret. I tested out some budget barefoot/minimalist shoes from Amazon. And boy am I glad I did! Here’s what I like about them, what I don’t like, and how well they endured the first 50 miles of use.
You can find the ALEADER shoes on Amazon in both a mens and womens version.

Everything shared here is my own opinion from my personal experience with this product. I am not sponsored by ALEADER! I'm simply providing general info and anecdotes from wearing these shoes for backpacking.
