[pct-l] hiking boots

[jason moores]

Ryan,

Check out: Lowa, Vento-mids.

I switched from Montrail Continental Divides to the Vento when I reached Agua Dolce last year. They have excellent support for there weight, require little to no break-in period, excellent ventilation, thick soles and will last you around 800-1000 miles. You can find them on sale for $116 on the Lowa site.

I'll be wearing the regular Ventos on the trail this year.
