[Cdt-l] Low cut women's hiking boots

[michelle bracht]

Hi, 

I am looking for some advice on low cut boots. Last fall I tore my Achilles' tendon on the trail. I can no longer wear tall boots because of the scarring. Can anyone recommend a low cut boot that can handle a heavy load (the pack not me LOL) and offer decent stability ?  Most of the boots I have read reviews for say they are good for up to a 40 pound pack. Unfortunately I'm over that. 

Thanks,
Michelle

It did get torn somewhere a long the way.  I'm sorry we missed you....been quite a year for the two of us healthwise.

It takes me days to air out the bedroom at times.  So, we'll need to ask hikers leave their items outside and possibly sleep outside from now on.  We are on the alternate route and really haven't seen many hikers coming from Palomas/Columbus in the last year or so.
