The short of it is that my Vasque Mindbenders worked more like a sand trap than a shoe and my only option was to lace up the Tedinhos. May have been my best decision of the 4 day trip to Havasu Falls.

I lived in those shoes, which despite the poor condition of my feet from the hike in, preserved what was left of my feet and made the 10 mile hike out actually very comfortable.
