Hey ladies! I am beginning to research my gear choices and am wondering what you wear on the trail while carrying weight in your pack (20lbs or more). Do you swear by boots? Do you prefer running shoes? I tend to underpronate, have wide hips, and high arches. I think I want to go with a lightweight trail runner sneaker with Superfeet insoles for a thru-hike in 2014 (I am expecting to buy at least 1 replacement pair during the hike), but does anyone have experience to weigh in with? What do you hike in?
Thanks!
