For almost a year now, I’ve been committing heresy. Enmeshed in an illicit love affair with a pair of North Face Altamesa 500s, I’ve been sinning against the church of modern outdoor gear culture. I’m finally ready to confess to all of it. I’ve been wearing a single pair of shoes to do essentially every activity I enjoy. I’ve been throwing just one pair of “exercise shoes” in my suitcase and not giving another thought to additional, activity-dependent footwear. Actually, that’s not true.
