I am planning to start my AT hike in mid feburary and was wondering if I should stick to hiking boots or if hiking shoes would be fine during those cold wet winter months. Do any of you guys have experience with using hiking shoes in the winter? I am wondering if hiking shoes work well with the cold temperatures and possible snow? I would imagine gaiters would probably be necessary to help keep snow and other things out. The two shoes I am looking at are the North Face Hedgehog 3 and the Keen Marshall WP hiking shoes but I am open to suggestions.
