Prayers for a speedy recovery, Peakbagger. Hang in there!
I wore my regular hiking socks, they worked fine. Luckily, I chose an old pair of hiking shoes, had to throw them away afterwards.
Lowas, sold at REI, worked for me. They are heavy, but allowed me to hike while PF healed.
I don't know any shuttle's in that area, but I will recommend getting the shuttle from where you park your car down the trail and hiking back to your car. Much less hassle that way. If you still...
