[pct-l] hiking sandals? - Not Keen

[Jim Keener]

Hi,

I wore a pair of the original Keen sandals for 300 miles of testing in  
the San Francisco Bay Area before beginning hiking in 2004. And they  
worked well on local trails. In southern California, the story was  
different. The bottoms of my feet were covered in blisters. I was  
taking up to 20 Advil a day in order to make it to Big Bear where I  
had a pair of New Balance 905s waiting for me. Two others I know of  
had similar problems. They're great shoes, and I wear them today, but  
not for hiking.
