These are actually VST trail running shoes. Very functional and stylish.
Finally picked them up last week and have broken them in with about 10 miles of walking, including the Storybook Trail in Massanutten and a couple of round trips to the office.
Turns out, I’ll need some heavy duty shoes in some cases, and they recommend steel toes, according to the project safety plan. And a safety vest, a hard hat, and some protective eyewear. The team is providing most of this equipment, along with GPS and some other special items, which I will post about later. I am still looking for the shoes.
I know I haven’t said yet what I will be doing on the trip, but we’ll get to that.
I’m a consultant, you know – most of the time it is about the knife and fork, but sometimes, it’s about the gear. They don’t send the big guy out for this stuff as much as they used to, so this is a real treat for me. The important thing is, I’ll be able to wear the new Vasques for most of the time, and I am looking forward to it.

Anxious to hear what you'll be doing out there! It's not top secret is it? Our family joke is that my dad would go on these secret clearance trips, and then wherever he was, something would blow up. We're very proud of this...teehee.
We are in for a much more mundane trip than that. We have to visit the facilities that are contracted to concessions and assess their condition. It'll be a learning experience for me. And I'll be the wheel man for a couple of these days. I think the plan on one day includes four hours of driving!
Way to pose those shoes for the photo! Nice merchandising, my friend. Hope they keep your feet happy and healthy! Safe travels to you! I know it's gonna be a tough one for you! ;)
