EDC footwear - NorthernRaider - 6 July 2012

Whats your normal choice and why you picked up regarding your EDC footwear.

I'm still wearing and getting through two pairs a year of Karrimor Summit Leather 100 approach shoes, cheap, chearful and reliable to a point, and only £22 a pair.

But if I venture further afield I like to wear the more substantial Magnum Midnight Spider 5.0 tactical shoes which are a mix of leather and cordura.

XS brand hiking boots bought online £8.79 + postage, i keep a permanent stock of at least 3 pairs, wear 1 out buy 2 more.

Various pairs of magnum boots and an old faithful pair of catapillars. Also recently bought a pair of Keen sandals with enclosed toes. Water resistant and very comfortable. Not waterproof, they have holes all down each side! but designed for use in and out of water. Ideal for this recent "drought" weather.
