It took 6 months of trying on shoes at every outdoor store in the area and reading a lot online, but I finally found a "shoe" that truly seems to be the most comfortable thing for hiking I've ever worn: Chaco Z/1s.
What I'm curious is if anybpdy who swears by these has found a hiking boot equivalent. By this I mean a boot that has the same benefits of the Z/1s, such as the hugely cushioning sole, awesome tread and great arch-supporting footbed. I've never tried on a boot that has an inch of rubber under it, and with the low heel provides for such a natural gait.
