<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Greetings,<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>The only reason I cannot be accurately charged with putting my foot in my mouth is that my feet are too big for that feat (wordplay intended). Another thing I cannot do is easily find boots or shoes which fit. My feet are size 14 EEEE, by New Balance measurements. New Balance is an exception. I have worn the 90x, currently 907, shoes for four years, including on 600 of the 900 miles I hiked on the PCT in 2004. They work well. Okay, finally, the question:</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Will trail shoes, such as the NBs be okay in the northern Cascades?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thanks,<BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>Jim Keener ( J J )</DIV></SPAN><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
