My Love For Life Review

I found the perfect shoes for my hiking sessions: cheap and durable whole rubber shoes! The brand is called Bowling which is slightly misleading as I don't think these shoes are bowling (the sport) shoes. Popularly known as Adidas 'kampung' shoes locally, it literally means Adidas village shoes. Sounds strange at first but if you think about how it slightly resembles the design of the big "A" and how these shoes are tough enough to traverse the rough tropical jungle terrains, calling it Adidas village shoes is pretty palpable. Here is an overview of the Bowling rubber shoes.

Here is a run through of the pros and cons that I found pertaining to the Bowling rubber shoes.

Pros:
- Cheap
- Durable
- Waterproof
- Great gripping capability (tried it on wet, muddy terrains)

Cons:
- Comfort (the Bowling rubber shoes are OK to wear just make sure to wear a pair of socks for added padding

All in all, I highly recommend Bowling rubber shoes for hiking and quite possibly hill climbing too.

My Love For Life Household Review rating for Adidas kampung rubber shoes: 5/5
