I always go into the woods for hiking and wheeling with my trusty pair of trail running shoes. Never had an issue. Feet are comfy when having to get out and scope out the trail or view the scenery and I'm happy because the shoes are lighter and more sensitive to the feedback of the pedals.

If I know I'm going to be doing a significant hike, especially with scree or other gnarly rock situations where I need ankle support then I'll go with something different. Generally, good, stable trail running shoes or low top hikers work for me. But then again, I don't need to deal with much mud. For us it is usually rock.

i figured most of us do a little hiking after wheeling so just curious what shoes you are wearing...but those five fingers are insane looking. Pretty sure they are like driving shoes where the sole is really thin but I doubt they will feel comfortable on hikes???

Oh man, I can only imagine all the apple dorks wearing them around campus. I say that because my neighbor down the street works at apple and wears them on a daily basis.

Those shoes are pretty distracting in a meeting rofl.
But hey, there are some people who don't wear shoes here period so I guess I'd rather see a wetsuit looking foot cover than otherwise :)

Hahaha! I guess I can't talk I have an iPhone and MacBook Air, but no iPad. All apple gadgets are work required. ;-) though, I do like apple products, I just can't handle the store.
