1 more for docs (uk made). ilang beses ko na inuwi yung boots ko dyan. ulan, baha, putik, alak, ????, almost 10 years na din. midsole lang pinapalitan ko.

[creepy]

I'd go for Merrell -- nice-looking, light, comfortable and durable. What more can you ask for?

[Bogeyman]

so far wala akong nakitang merrell na black...

Funny, I could have sworn I saw several Merrell styles in black sa Megamall.

Ako rin, I swear by Merrell, especially since I find them very comfy (almost comfy enough to play basketball in). I suggest you get the ones with the Vibram soles.

Got my Doc Martens on May 1990 and they're still being abused up to now. I have black and brown. The older they get, the better they become.

Kaya lang nakakalungkot, wala na yata akong nakikitang Made in England, puro Made in China na lang.

Bagay na bagay sa yo Doc Otep ang Doc Martens

I'm satisfied with a pair of cheap Skechers. Skechers Traffic 60499 shown here:

[Marc MD]

in my experience DM's are very durable.. had one in elementary used it in high school until it would'nt fit me anymore.. ang galing.. used it every day..

Original Merrels are available in Cartimar Pasay.. authorized dealer pwede ka pa tumawad unlike sa mall..

Wala akong specific na masabi, basta dapat komportable (tama ba spelling sa Tagalog?).

Sabi nga nila, "There are at least two things you should pay good money for - a good bed, and a good pair of shoes. You spend a third of your life in them."

It should be appropriate for your line of work as well, if you do lots of walking then it shouldn't cause any pain after 8 hours. Good arch support, special shoes for flatfoot, heel cushion, flexible,etc etc.

Driving shoes for driving... riding shoes/boots for motorcycles...

I did have DMs a couple of years ago (or maybe 15 years ago hehe) and I remember them being "ok". I'd go for hiking boots or sandals.

Merrell......

[praktikal]

Merrell comes to mind though no experience using it but looks good, not too bulky, not too heavy and i like its "earth" colors. may nasukat din akong timberland sa sports warehouse, ganda at gaan sa paa kaso nasa 3thou pa, wait ko next sale,

[chase]

doc, naka bili ako last last week ng FILA shoes...waterproof sya and all. made for trail running. all for 999 pesos! from 4.5k to 999pesos!

super sulit. don't know if they have it still. i got mine in MOA.

[awing]

I got this Dr. Marten's pair last month. Medyo heavy nga lang sa paa but very durable and i worn it most occassions. Kahit sa office sinusuot ko rin.




Check their site, its cool!

Based on experience, I would choose Hi-Tec over any other brand locally available, field tested and trail-proven na.
Sir Otep, the "Salomon" brand in your sample picture is a very good one...too bad walang ganyang available brand dito sa pinas. This are classified as technical scrambling shoe, designed for daypacks, at syempre designed for us who wear them casually.

[mbeige]

How about just buy cheap, but rugged and comfortable ones (in-sole gel sa heel, and/or good arch support + steel toe) instead? That way kahit pangharabas mo hindi ka manghihinayan dahil mura lang siya, pero comfortable enough to let you forget worrying.

Most of the time yung mga hiking shoes have hard soles, which is good for abusing them but not much for comfort.

[OTEP]

I'm looking for a good compromise between quality and price. I think I;ll check out those Merells. The FILA's also sound interesting.

I'm going to SM [Baguio] this weekend. Balitaan ko kayo.

[wildthing]

Don't go for CATerpilar na brand, the tahi is not good...kinailangan ko pang iparestitch sa Mr. Quickie after less than two years (hindi pa daily use yun).

Doc Marten's is good and comfy sa paa pero mabigat...parang worker's shoes.

The Merrell and Northface seems good...kaso near P5000 na.

This looks like a good proposition.....

Hi guys, I'm back. I was at SM Baguio last Sunday and ended up with a pair of FILA Trail Runner shoes. It's supposed to be a blend between a hiking and running shoe. It's a simple low cut design predominantly in black. I'll try to post a photo later. It cost Php 1,999.95, I think. Sounds fair enough.

Also saw shoes wearing the Hi-Tec brand. Is this a good brand also? The North Face shoes were way too expensive but looked uber cool.

[badkuk]

afaik, hi-tec has been around way before hiking shoes became mainstream
