[pct-l] shoes

[cactus_paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Paul E. Dietrich)]

I used a pair of NB 680s for over 1000 miles in 2000.  They were great
crossing the Sierra, but a bit hot South of Kennedy Meadows.  Can't get
them anymore, as far as I know.  You can probably get through a thru-hike
with as little as three pair of light weight shoes, but using more would be
better for your comfort and the health of your feet.

So...just how long does a light hiking shoe (like the new balance 804 and
805) last ?? How many total pairs of these types of shoes did you go
through
during the PCT hike ??

I'm trying to get a handle on gear purchases and any help will be
appreciated....
