[QUOTE="sabbott, post: 377212, member: 45870"] [USER=31055]@Tammy[/USER] Lynn, my son and many other long distance hikers wear trail runners. He walked the Pacific Crest Trail (2700 miles) in Salomens--went through 4 pairs. His advice to me is to wear lightweight trail runners, as your feet will get wet no matter what kind of waterproofing you have, and with a light shoe like the Salomens, they will dry out quickly and your feet can breath. Have dry socks and sandals or crocs available at the end of the day while your shoes dry. Here's that viewpoint exhaustively discussed: [URL]http://www.backpackingnorth.com/ultralight-makeover-give-your-feet-a-break/[/URL] I have never done a long hike, so what I am telling you is others' advice. As you know, many on the forum here disagree, and advise boots. I just know given my problem feet, I couldn't wear boots or even hiking shoes like Merrills Moabs, and am going for comfort above everything. I like New Balance V1080V5, which have a wide toe and are very cushioned. I got them in a size larger than normal. Very comfortable on my walks at home, I'll let you know how I do in spring rains in Spain! [/QUOTE]
