Oh boy, yeah, they don't look to have a lot of traction! I think I have 4 or 6 pairs of shoes/boots in the back of my jeep, and often don't decide until the trailhead which to put on any given day.

Me too! My trunk looks like a gear locker. On Paradise, I wore my Keen Targhees and carried the rocker sole shoes. On a backpack I carried a pair of Vasques 21 miles on a backpack and wore the rocker soles. I also bring extra shells and decide which one to bring at the TH.

A trunk would be really nice in the jeep! It was "just a bit" ripe in there yesterday! :lol:
