SteveC amid the winters snow Dec 2020 1:10pm, 11 Dec 2020 255 posts	0 SteveC amid the winters snow We've had such a wet back end of the year here that I'm thibking of a mixed terrain pair with Goretex now. Thinking of maybe Peregrine 10 gtx or the more extreme La Sportiva Lycan. Wondering how the Mizunos are working out.
