[pct-l] Big Feet

[Thomas Jamrog]

I  wear 13's , similar weight and height.  Check out  Asics Gel Trabuco's.  I have tried many others and like them the best. They have mesh panels to aid in ventilation.  I overpronate,  need wide toe box, and good cushion in the forefoot on top, but stable structure underneath the forefoot.  They run just a bit large for the size ( I have plenty of room in their 13's).

Either is ok, but neither is perfect for me, and I do better if I switch back and forth day to day, which of course isn't feasible on a long hike.  I know shoes are almost too individual to give advice on, but any ideas I can get are at least possibilities I can pursue.  Toe box width is a special issue for me.  I'm 6'2", 215 lbs., 58 years old.
