We're back with the pairings that matter most... GEAR & BEER!

Most hiking shoes are just overbuilt sneakers and leave you wanting either a pair of trail runners or an actual pair of leather boots.

But what if you could truly blend those two worlds into an athletic looking shoe that is well made and built specifically for hiking?

Well then you'd have the Obōz Katabatic Wind Low.

And if you have the Obōz Katabatic Wind Low's and you also have us hosts of Gear & Beer one of whom only likes trail runners (me, Colin) and the other only likes big burly boots (Justin) what will we make of this shoe?

That's called a teaser folks, you need to listen to find out.

Then our in house Cicerone (aka Justin) pairs the perfect post activity beverage to go with these shoes: Montucky Cold Snacks.

Because that's what you get here on Gear & Beer... the pairings that matter most!
