I'm using 10.5 Men's Montrail Mountain Masochists to start my hike. I've found a decent deal on replacement pairs, but I've read that my shoe size will likely increase as I hike.
So I'm wondering if putting off the purchase of replacement shoes is the best idea, even though I lose out on a potential $40 savings? Or is there merit in saving $40 and just adding +1 size (the roughly suggested guideline) to my shoe estimation?
I'm leaning toward waiting, but would appreciate the feedback.
