[pct-l] lightweight snowshoeing

[Jerry Goller]

Sure, no problem. That is all I snowshoe in. I've even snowshoed in sandal,
just to prove it could be done...lol.
 
If it is cold or the snow is wet you might want to consider over boots like
N.E.O.S. or., my favorite, Outdoor Research Brooks Rangers.

So for everyone who hikes in trail running shoes and also snowshoes... is it
possible to combine these things and snowshoe in trail running shoes? (Not
for the PCT, just for nice CO powder). Will the trail running shoes fit
properly and be comfortable or is a stiffer boot necessary? If a boot is
necessary, will a lightweight hiking boot work as well as a more solid
leather boot? I'm pretty new to snowshoeing and have recently converted to
running shoe backpacking. I REALLY love the no-boot thing and don't want to
have to buy any more uncomfortable boots.
