The weak point of my typical lightweight hiking shoes (regardless of brand) is the mesh. It often snags and tears on the first trip out and things only get worse on subsequent trips. The mesh appears to made of soft, easily snagged,polyester.
Do you know of a shoe that uses a harder,more durable mesh or other synthetic for the uppers? I'm thinking something like Leno mesh would work better. Heck, simply making the uppers out of uncoated 1.9 ounce ripstop would be an improvement.
I'm only interested in shoes that are 100% synthetic.
