New hiking shoes!
Stephanie got a great shot of me posing with my pristine new Vasque Mantra Gore-Tex XCRs before we took off down White Rock Canyon. They’re totally awesome.

Nice way to break them in. Vasque have been the real deal long before I ever did anything outdoorsy. I need a new pair myself.
My last pair made it down into the Grand Canyon twice, first in May 2005 and then September 2008, so I figure they earned their retirement.
