This is part of what is so confusing, those are what I would call hiking boots. Trail running shoes are quite different. I own some Sealskinz but I can't see a good reason to wear them alongside some Goretex shoes, they're incredible at keeping the water out but are really sweaty after a long time on. I could imagine breathable shoes with Sealskinz or Goretex shoes with some 'good quality' hiking socks but combining sounds like it would start out very comfy but quickly become too sweaty.
Anyway since my previous message I picked up some Adidas Terrex AX3 Goretex shoes (I'd call them hiking shoes) since they had a discount on the website. I have a two pairs one size apart so I can wear thicker or thinner socks depending on the weather.
I do find them very grippy and can't imagine my heel allowing rotation on a drive so I'm a little worried about my right knee ligaments. Form issue, wearing-in issue or conditioning issue?
