I searched the forum for anything related to these kicks but came up with nothing, so I'll throw this out there:
I own a pair of North Face Ultra 104 GTX XCR trail runners and have put a couple hundred AT miles on them in the last month or so. After putting them through pretty much every type of weather/terrain, they still feel phenomenal and are going strong (as one would hope after only a couple hundred miles). In the past I've always done distance hiking in boots, but I'm seriously considering switching to trail runners for my trek down the AT in '09. I guess the main thing I'm trying to figure out is how many pairs I'll go through during the 2000+ miles. Does anyone have any ideas/opinions/suggestions? Lay them on me.
