It is wonderful to bike, hike, run, whatever with what you are wearing and
not having to change to shift activity. I love riding my bike to where it's
no longer practicable, and running from there. Of course, doing all three
barefoot or in minimal shoes makes it easy to do all three with the
Not a problem at all. Have ridden in either Red Wing or Merrill boots
depending on the weather. The only boots I haven't tried are my Sorrel. No
reason they wouldn't work. Just don't often bike in weather that needs
that type of boot anymore.

As the weather has called for it I've written my waterproof Sorel boots this
winter with no ill effects. I've also worn timberland steel toes now and
then... No problem whatsoever using grip King pedals.

I've been using Vasque Sundowners with thin gripsters and gripkings. No
problems (though I have to be mindful of tucking the laces to keep 'em out
of the chainring).

Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate it. The issue for me has always
been that the boots feel so heavy when I am even walking. I am into
minimalist sneakers, tends to help my pronation. I guess I would have to go
for some light weight boot that would hopefully give me the best of both
worlds.
Peter, if I may I'll push you a bit. Go biking and hiking in your
minimalist shoes. I climb mountains barefoot. Ankle support is not
necessary and is actually a hinderance, weakening the ankle and surrounding
systems. Feel free to email me off group if you have questions about

My usual riding shoe is the Salewa Firetail in the goretex version. It's
really a light hiker/approach shoe, but it works just fine on the grip
kings. No ankle support, but I don't generally dig out my boots for a hike
unless there's a loaded pack involved.

the Redwings have a fairly smooth sole, but it's a good ole vibram sole,
nonetheless. They are pretty darn good for bike adventuring - and a
significantly better option for pushing a bike up a hill than my old
sneakers. I've also used Merrell Moab ventilators, which are OK, but

I'm pretty you could ride in as heavy a boot as you wanted, as long as you
were comfortable with how the tread of the boot matches with the platform
of the pedal. While I'm not always happy with the flat soles of the Chukkas
(when pushing up muddy slopes for instance), they give a
I ride in hiking boots all the time, no problems. I have Danners.

I've toured quite a bit in hiking boots, taking only them plus a pair of
flip-flops. It's nice not having to mess with shoes between biking and
hiking. The only downside is taking a long time to dry if they get wet.

Peter,
Very good question. Some of the PDXers wear Red wing Chukka's which look
fantastic.

They might chime in. The only issue I see with those are the lack of a
