Merrell Moab Ventilators. The reason I got them was that they were the
only lightweight shoe I could find that had enough wiggle room in the
toe box.

I had terrible blisters that took me off the trail at mile 151. I don't
know how much the shoes had to do with it. Another thru made it all the
way in the same shoes, but he also has a lot more trail miles behind him
than I do.

They are worth a try, but there may be something better out there.
