Live in southern Oregon. Live near a big field, and once around would be approx. 1/2 mile. Would love to do loops around it, but even recently mowed, it is filled with star-thistle, burrs, and nettles. Made the mistake of running through it once with mesh shoes, and basically ruined the shoes, and had to throw out my socks. I'm still picking thorns out of the shoes.
Does anyone know of any thorn-resistant running or trail shoes? Running gaiters?
