[pct-l] shoes

Try 806s. Or if they get discontinued probably 807s. Depending on his shoe
size, you may be able to find earlier models of 80x on the web. But allow
yourself plenty of time. I had two different online vendors look for my
model of shoe for a couple of weeks before they told me they couldn't
satisfy the order.

My first 806s lasted 1400 miles on the AT this year. The second pair only
lasted then next 800 miles. I threw them away in Maine.

  My son wants to get a couple of pairs of shoes for next years thru-hike,
for the last couple of years he's used New Balance 803s' and they worked out
good. They are no longer made, what would any of you suggest. I use Merrell
Chameleon Ventilators, the high ones to help my ankles, but he has good
ankles, and can go with light weight shoes. Any help will be appreciated.
