Diff between Flyroc and Terroc

Jonathan,
I can tell you from experience that the '08 Terroc mesh is very open. Your feet will be black at the end of the day. Your socks will be filled with dirt.

I do like the shoe. I just deal with washing my feet every day and my socks on the 3rd day.

thanks for the feedback Greg, it was hard to tell in pictures.

Jonathan,

The upper of the terrocs are more durable than the flyrocs. I have a pair of terrocs with 600+ miles on them and the upper is still in like new condition (but the soles are on their death bed). I agree with the previous poster that they still let dust in like the flyrocs. I also feel that there is more slightly more foot volume in the terroc compared to the same size flyroc.

You feet will get quite dirty with either pair. Luckly, there are plenty of places to wash your feet along the JMT.

My experience, having worn through a pair of flyrocs, and several pairs of terrocs:

– not much difference in durability, perhaps flyrocs have more durable soles, but they seem to share the same weak points (mesh, lace hoops).

– mesh in both lets through fine dust/sand. not really a problem though, just rinse out occasionally.

– terroc is a bit stiffer, i believe because it has a shank whereas the flyroc is just totally flexible. I still wouldn't call the terroc 'stiff' though.

– very similar/identical fit
