A great idea (part 2, foot wear)

“Any one try Track spikes on the trail? They way nothing (like an ounce), and have 1/4 or larger or smaller spikes in the toe area.”

“What would the purpose be, if I may ask?”

“and they offer no support. One rock or any weight on your back and bye bye ankle. Also, aren't they as uncomfortable as hell to wear?”

“my ankles are strong, so thats not a problem. I'm just thinking with a lighter shoe you turn over your feet faster thus walking faster.”

“Why walk faster?

And what do you do with 1/4" long spikes when you come to a rocky section? It would be as stable as roller skates.

Tell you what, you go get some golf shoes and try it.”

“I was just asking for your ideas on the matter.”

“you want to go fast? Get some trail running shoes. They are lighter then boots, but still have the good points of boots. They are meant for low weight situations. I have a pair that I use for everyday shoes. They are heavier then running shoes, but a lot lighter then boots. My sugesstion is if you want to go fast on the trail, either learn to walk fast in boots or start mountain biking.”

“I can hike at 3 miles per hour, on an up hill. (thats fast)”

“And I can flair my nostrils. But I don't know why I would want to.”

“Damn you all are cutting ice pack no slack!”

“Maybe I'm missing something but WHY carry RR spikes one the trail? Tent stakes?”

“i spike my kool-aid, sometimes.”

“Hey, I wear spikes. They are 4" red stilletos, but funny thing, I can't seem to get past the bedroom when I have them on. I always get tackled by Lookingglass, lol.”

“Your all SICK!!!”

“There you go Ice, try wearing some 6" spiked heels, that will really get you going on the trail.”

“Yeah, What ROck said plus one of those Hiking Kilts. LOL!!”

“oh' god!!!”

“I like pink spiked hair.
But stillettos on the trail suck like Spam Lite.”

“6" spiked heels? A hiking kilt?

Can ya squeal like a pig boy?? Do I hear banjo music?”

“One word... Stone bruises!”

“Hey, there's a great store Uptown Minneapolis called St. Sabrina's Parlor in Purgatory, they have some pretty crazy looking fetish shoes and boots. They might even make your hike easier, find the right submissive person and s/he will carry you along the trail, set up your camp, cook your food, and let you spank them too.

Track spikes? I still have mine, but wouldn't wear them for any reason. Too flimsy, no support (ankle, arch, anything).”

“Listen to Lumpy....... experience pays!!!

Lipstick, I bet the soles of the shoes have no scuff marks!!

Tea, if you want to hike faster carry less.”

“Theyd be great for climbing over your partners back if you were being chased by a bear.”

“That's L i mpy, with an " i ". One of the reasons for the limp is a painful sole. Sometimes its like the princess and the pea. Alittle pebble without sturdy shoes, and I'm howling. Ouch!”

“I once tried wearing rollerblades for rock climbing but that didn't work out too well.”

“Hey Oldie, haven't you bemoaned in the past about how you aren't able to get around the Twin Cities that much, but now you reveal you're familiar with the Uptown fetish wear shops? Boy, it is time you graduate and get out of Sodom, er Minneapolis. Just don't let Ice Tea walk on you. He has to learn to control his urges. LOL”

“2 words and one exclamation: ROcks underfoot. Ouch!”

“Tea,
Only 3 miles an hour? I've been clocked at 4.5 uphill and long distance.”

“Hey limpy, one word? Wouldn't that be stonebruises?”

“No duh!”

“Ooohhhhh! You meant to do that. Some times I'm a little slow. Sorry lumpy.”

“Hey Balm666,
That's L i mpy!”

“Hey LH, would you scan a picture of those red stillettos and ask Phil to post on his site? I'd love to see 'em! Do you match your shoes to your lipstick?”

“I wish I could flair my nostrils.”

“DM, I was being modist.

I can out run you in any race, and in any hike. I don't care if your 6 something and I'm 5'4. I will burn you. On flat I can do 7 miles an hour, with pack.”

“uh oh, a TT fight. Step back...”

“its a friendly fight though. I'm just saying that I run track, I run cross country, and he doesn't so there is a really good chance that I'm more fit then him.”

“DM are you gonna take that? He's smackin you like a beeyaatch!

Just messin' T-bone”

“its Mr. T to you!!!


LOl”

“Your on kid. Lets load up to 65 lbs and see who makes it to the top of the mountain first.”

“65 lbs?????? thats 2/3s my wait. I usaly pack about 40-20”

“Well, when your crew cops out on you, somebody has to carry the food and fuel. I had the biggest pack (lucky me). That had to be the day with the huge ass elevation change too.”
