[pct-l] shoes: Keens

[J J at Ridge Trail]

Greetings,

Several others and I had very bad experience with Keens. By the time I got to Warner Springs, the bottom of both feet were a bloody mess. I was hobbling. Perhaps they are better now, but I  would never chance it again. And I had worn them for about 300 miles before heading to Campo. One of the best days of my life was getting a new pair of New Balance 900 series in Big Bear.
