Gear and Wear
A comprehensive review of gear and clothing for the active lifestyle, run and written by an avid hiker, runner, and all around fitness junky. The aim of the Gear and Wear is to fill the gap left from the lack of complete and thorough reviews available anywhere else. As such, all products reviewed by Gear & Wear have been used extensively before being reviewed to insure only reliable information is being passed on to other consumers. Reviews can be found categorized as a piece of gear (for hiking, camping, climbing, boxing/MMA, working out or other), wear (for footwear, shirts, jackets, pants and shorts or accessories) or by their brand name. Additionally we'll also upload a review on some food to keep you fueled! We can also be found on Twitter @GearandWearBlog.
Cost: $55 Great for: Casual walks, runs, and working out (leg day). The good: You can instantly feel the difference in your legs when walking with these shoes. Additionally, the minimalist design targets muscles that other shoes don't hit. The bad: The fabric between the toes is an easy place for water to seep through. Rating Variety/Appearance: 3/10. I hope you like the color, it's the only option. The design and overall look is good but the blue can be too much at times. Feel/Comfort: 10/10. If these shoes don't feel great you're doing something wrong. Quality/Durability: 10/10. After putting in a few hundred miles they still hold up fine, and, besides the insole, looks relatively new. Value: 8/10. This is a great shoe for a very reasonable price, but the color can be too much for certain occasions causing a loss of flexibility in use. Other: 9/10. Vibram shoes hit muscles no other shoe does while simultaneously making the minimalist lifestyle comfortable. Overall: 40/50. Verdict: A fantastic shoe for a good price, I just hope Vibram will give some more options style wise. |
About your Reviewer: Joe P.Growing up in Michigan and around the Great Lakes has made it easy to be an avid outdoors enthusiast and conservationist my whole life. I love doing anything that keeps me staying active and being outdoors. This ranges from running, lifting, climbing, hiking, camping, biking, etc. All of these hobbies of mine are things I take very seriously and love to do. Because of this, before I make any purchase for one of my passions I try to do as much research about a product as possible to insure I am getting a product that I will enjoy for years. That has led to me starting this site in hopes of helping others avoid the guess work I went through by providing honest and unbiased product reviews.
