[pct-l] Shoes

[tom aterno]

For all of the minimalist shoe or no-shoe hikers... 
 
We just bought The Adventures of The Barefoot Sisters Book 2: Walking Home.  It is the second volume of the sisters' hike on the AT from Springer Mtn. to Katahdin.  Sharrel has just started to read it, and they did hike most of the AT barefoot.  Book 1 may have more pertinant info for a beginning barefoot or minimalist hiker, as that book covers their start at Katahdin where they first decided to hike barefoot.  Yes, they sobo'd the AT, taking an unusually long 8+ months, and decided to hike back home nobo since they ended their sobo hike in March, the usual starting time for nobos.

Hey everyone, I've been doing all my training hikes in trail runners one
size larger than my regular fit and haven't had any issues. However, I've
seen some people recommend going two sizes larger and wanted to get
opinions from the PCT community. Also, I wanted to see if anyone has any
experience with minimalist/barefoot shoes such as the Merrell Trail Glove.
Been reading Born to Run by Christopher McDougall and want to give the
minimalist/barefoot approach a try.
