Your Opinions Appreciated!!
Some friends and I are planning a thru-hike starting around august, heading SOBO..
What kind of shoes would you suggest?
I've heard that a lot of people are moving away from wearing super heavy, leather boots, and going for lighter trail runner type shoes, however, I'm not sure how these type of shoes would be in the cold weather we'll be encountering about halfway into the hike and onward..???
Concerning the late start date.. is there any special gear that would be particularly handy to have (for possibly snowy/icy conditions?)
Thanks for your input!!!
