Hello ladies,
I'm planning a thru-hike of the AT next March. I've always had tremendous problems w/blisters. I've been wearing Merrel Montrail Gortex boots, but get blisters everytime I hike even 2 miles. I think I may need to consider hiking shoes.
Does anyone have any experiences w/shoes vs boots or have any advice? I've tried everything I can think of to prevent blisters (including duct taping mole skin to all of the sensitive places BEFORE I left....and then I got blisters right next to the protected areas!).
Is there a waterproof/breathable hiking shoe out there? Thanks!
