$59.99 - Adidas Waterra HT Trail Shoes on Sale
The Adidas Waterra HTis called a “water shoe”, even though it’s really just a trail running shoe with good drainage and a sticky sole. It’s a good thing too, because these things look far more normal than the slipper-like things that most water shoes are.
…so why suggest a pair of “water shoes” in the middle of some record-heat weeks? Because they’ve got more mesh than just about anything else you can get your hands on. Mesh keeps the feet dryer and that keep blisters away. Plus, when you do stop at a stream to try and get cool, you won’t have to worry about these shoes not drying out by the next morning.
The extra 36% off these and free shipping from Altrec is pretty cool too.
Quick tip: Another quick tip on stopping blisters when hiking in hot weather is to change your socks a lot. You don’t even need to carry any extra socks. Just wear two or three pairs of socks throughout the day and then use the same socks again the next day (or more depending on how long you’re out and how hardcore you are about not carrying extra clothes). If you’re only wearing them for 3-4 hours/pair the socks won’t have much chance to get soggy and start rubbing.
