> If you do not want to worry too much about blisters and swollen feet,
> then wear hiking sandals.  I currently use Bite hiking sandals.  I
> sugguest you wear medium weight hiking socks, so your feet do not dry
> out too much on very long hikes.  You could develop a callus or
> cracked foot skin if you do not protect your feet with socks and skin
> cream.  Also, the socks protect your feet a little more against rocks
> and sticks.  Though this is not a big problem if you are careful. 
> Also, you need to train in sandals to strenghen your ankles.  Sandals
> are great!  Happy trails, Switchback
