[pct-l] Sandals

[David Margavage]

I had to go on the KEEN site and look, they could have been a Ridgeline?
I'd say 300 miles at best per each pair. But they were comfortable ;-) The
store let me trade up to some Montrails.  I'm breaking them in now. They
have more instep, deeper lugs and the sole is stiffer.  So far I like them,
but I have not hiked in them.
