    Liner Socks

    Coolmax liner socks and thick backpacker Bridgedale socks. If' it's a hot day ventilate your feet every stop, consider changing socks at midday if you sweat a lot. At night a good cream will help. Shoes- one to one and a half size bigger then normal.

    Luna Sandals - anyone have experience with these shoes?

    Looks too fragile. Nothing holds your foot and prevent it from sliding side ways when wet. Crocks are the best if you ask me. If you are looking for substitute for hiking shoes I suggest hiking sandals that are not so "open".

    How much do your feet swell?

    1 to 1.5 is a must. your feet will suffer the most when you walk, all blood vessels increase volume and this is why your feet swell. Add to that the fact that you'll be wearing thick socks and insoles.

    Walking on the RAIN in May. Trail shoes?

    Before youi decide on trail shoes you must be aware that you need to be well trained, these shoes are good for those who have strong ankles and tough feet. Are you well trained? what is your body weight? height? how much weight are you planning to carry? The problem with wet shoes is...wet...
