These shoes are frickin awesome, and I really hope that this time around these kids get the funding so they can finally launch the buiseness. Here is the thread from the first attempt with lots of info:

Link to kickstarter

They are basically awesome looking, high quality hiking/outdoor shoes that are perfect for skiers


"Forsake was founded by Jake Anderson and Sam Barstow – two college friends and former ski bums with a passion for the outdoors and an undiagnosed addiction to fresh new gear. While working at ski resorts in the Rockies, we needed waterproof footwear that felt equally at home in both casual and rugged environments; shoes that stood up to harsh weather and terrain without sacrificing comfort, performance, or style. Unable to find a product that satisfied our cravings, we developed three of our own."

I will definitely be putting these on my christmas list

Just went for it as well after eyeing it for a few weeks now. Really could only see myself wearing one of those colourways, but I'm generally quite fond of high-tops. Hopefully they're able to reach their goal.

Agreed, however they seem to almost be a little skinny, as in they squeeze my outside toe. THinking once I wear into them it will be better, but do you have this as well?

Mine fit great, and are definitely 100% waterproof. It rained the day that I got them in the mail.

They're all real leather so they'll stretch as you break them in. They should fit better soon! Enjoy your kicks!
