My first generation Trail devils were the perfect shoes to wear for my once in a lifetime adventure in Uganda: gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
After a 1.5 hour hike into the mountains, we descended down some extremely steep slopes, having our path cut through the jungle for us with machetes by our guides, before getting to spend one very precious hour with the Gorillas.
Despite the difficult terrain, my shoes were just perfect for the job.
Because I already have a second generation pair waiting for me at home, these shoes are now going to live out the rest of their still long life ahead in the rainforest of Uganda, being cherished by one of the community members who I have gifted them to.
