[pct-l] first pair of shoes

[Dan Welch]

I carried a pair of Crocs for stream crossings and for camp shoes.  I used
them for stream crossing exactly once - then decided it wasn't worth the
trouble.  The few times I had wet crossings I did it in my running shoes and
hiked them dry. The Crocs are pretty lightweight and worked well as camp
shoes (and also town shoes.)  Carrying an extra pair of shoes seems pretty
extravagant (to me) but I ALWAYS kept a dry pair of socks for sleeping.

Thanks. Hey! I am not a UL and I am not a heavy packer. Being said, Would
you carry an extra pair of shoes in the Sierra (1 lb) for the benefit of
your feet? I am considering a pair of adidas WP with pima loft for warmth( 1
lb) then a pair for river crossing ( >1 lb). ???
