[pct-l] How Many Trail Shoes / When to buy them

[Marcia]

For me, trail runners feel good right out of the box without breaking in, 
one of the advantages of light shoes over heavier shoes or boots. I order 
from REI or zappos.com and have them sent to a resupply town ahead. It's 
easy to tweak the size if you feel you need it while you hike.

Be sure to have them sent USPS and not UPS or FedEx if you are picking up at 
a PO.

Hello all,

I am reading that people tend to wear 4-6 pairs of shoes. Thoughts?

I have also read that feet sometimes swell/expand, sometimes even a 1/2
size larger. Thoughts?

So I am thinking of buying replacement shoes along the trail to ensure
that I have the proper size. But I cringe at the thought of breaking in a
new pair of shoes on trail. Thoughts?

Thank you for your thoughts,
Kathleen
