salomon makes better outdoor clothing than shoes I feel
....
as for Chaco ... I'll not wear anything else, they are THAT good,
and worth the money ... you'll never need another pair of sandals
again, cos you can re-strap and re-sole them ... my pair of Z-2 has
lasted me for 8 years now, and they are still nice and comfy ...
the ZONGs are nice too, but not made for trekking, the Z-2s have
followed me everywhere from borneo to burma ....
wait for the ketok stall at raffles place to have discount, then
you can pick up a nice pair for cheap ...
