[Cdt-l] Shoes

[Jonathan Ley]

My 2 cents on shoes... At the end of the PCT, my feet were numb. For the 
CDT, I used some superfeet insoles, and by the end of that trail... my 
feet were a little tired and a bit sore, but generally ok.

There are other good insoles too... my suggestion would be to get some 
that work for you, and use them in all your shoes. The insoles are where 
your feet impact the shoe, which I think makes them the most important 
part. The rest of the shoe is just window dressing (to some extent). I 
just use some that have a roomy toe bed, and are the right size.

One thing I've found is that by using the same superfeet in all my 
shoes... they all feel the same. When I get a new pair of shoes, it's 
totally anti-climatic... because they just feel the same as the last pair.
