I was able to link to the article when I clicked on "More...", but unable when I clicked on the top link.

Sorry, didn't read it, I just buy the cheapest crap out there.

So the guy's tip is to buy brand name, and that you might (ha!) need two pairs? With this sort of knowledge and disregard for bargains, I believe there's a sales job at REI just waiting for him.

That's the Gear Guy, who gets wined & dined by companies so that he mentions their products in his advice column. ;)

Well, I'm not here to tell anyone what to buy or is right for their feet, but there was a short informative article in Trailspace July 2009 called The Wet Foot Test: Learning About Your Feet Guide that could assist someone matching their feet with the proper shoe, regarless if they chose to wear trailrunners or some other type of footwear. If you're in the market for new shoes you might want to check it out.

Yeah, I don't know why it gives that false link to the title, when the "real" link is the "more" lower down. It confuses me all the time.
