Suitability of Kampung Adidas Shoes for Via Ferrata

Dear May Szin,

 

Thank you for your booking. Please check your itinerary at http://www.mountaintorq.com/index.php/activities-a-facilities

 

In regards to your questions; http://www.mountaintorq.com/index.php/packing-list

 

1) The renown "Kampung Adidas" shoes would be suitable to scale the circuit? Or a hardier pair of hiking shoes would be more suitable?

It is advisable to get good hiking shoes which you are comfortable with for the climb. Kampung Adidas is ok but if you're not used to it, it will cause blister. The best shoes are those with good grip, light and waterproof.

2) What kind of gears are most suitable? Winter clothing or just slightly thicker jackets?

You might need thicker clothing for the summit hike. As you descend the Via Ferrata, it may get warmer as the sun goes up. Best is to wear multiple layers which you can take off as you feel warmer.

 

Please find (FAQ and pre-trip notes) for you to prepare for the Mt Kinabalu trip. http://www.mountaintorq.com/index.php/important-information
