In a remote kingdom hidden in the Himalayas, there is a trail said to be the toughest trek in the world--twenty-four days, 216 miles, eleven mountain passes, and enough ghost stories to scare an exorcist. In 2007 Kevin Grange decided to acquaint himself with the country of Bhutan by taking on this infamous trail, the Snowman Trek. He was thirty-three, at a turning point in life, and figured the best way to go at a crossroad was up. Against a backdrop of Buddhist monasteries and soaring mountains, Grange ventured beyond the mapped world to visit time-lost villages and sacred valleys. In the process, recounted here with a blend of laugh-out-loud humor, heartfelt insight, and acute observation, he tested the limits of physical endurance, met a fascinating assortment of characters, and discovered truths about faith, hope, and the shrouded secret of blossom rain. Beneath Blossom Rain, Grange's account of his journey, packs an adventure story, a romantic twist, and a celebration of group travel into a single entertaining book. The result is the ultimate journey for any traveler, armchair or otherwise. Along with high adventure, it delivers an engaging look at Bhutan--a country that governs by a policy of Gross National Happiness and that many regard as the last Shangri-La.

You get what you pay for
Size: 13, Color: Black
First thing I noticed when unboxing was the Strong plastic smell coming out of the shoe I tried them on and Shoe runs small I bought size 13 and it was way to tight I ended up giving them to a co worker that use size 12 and fit him perfectly, he started walking and the rubber sole was leaving black marks all over the tile floor you could see exactly where he was stepping and left a trail he literally used them for less than 1 hr and ended up throwing them away, definitely you get what you pay for. Reminds me of payless shoes, cheap smelly plastic shoes.

Smell
Size: 10.5 Wide, Color: Black
They feel comfortable. My only complaint is that they smell more like petroleum than a refinery—but what could I do? I needed them urgently.
