Then my boots are made for kicking ass! Turns out I'm going to need a lot more then wimpy little patagonia hiking shoes when carrying a pack up Kilimanjaro, although I'm still planning to bring those as my urban option. So I found these bad boys, I've owned a few ASOLO hiking low tops before but these are way more burly. I was told by a random stranger, who overheard my shoe needs that there is a ton of mud in south east Africa and specifically around Kili. We are planning a hike tomorrow to test out our new kicks.
