If he took it slow for a week or so.  There's no magic in hiking with 
sneakers.  It's like anything else, just take your time to getting used to 
it.  One huge advantage from hiking with trail shoes or sneakers that is alot 
easier to more your feet and since that's how you get to Maine, I suggest it. 
 It's painfully obvious that boots aren't working for him.  

What does he have to lose, a sprained ankle?   So he goes home to recoup and 
finishes next year, or tries again from Springer.  That can happen with heavy 
boots too.

I don't know what he's carrying, but if he can't get under 25 pounds dry 
weight this time of year, somethings wrong and in that case maybe he should 
stick with the boots.  

His mile may vary!
