[pct-l] Thru-hike 2011, AT and boots/shoes

[scott garner]

Also, I used New Balances running/trail shoes on in 2004 on the AT and they come in wide sizes as well. Mine held up really well. Usually averaged 700 miles a pair. Scott

On the AT I went through 2 pairs of the fugitive GTX and tried to hike in some Montrails but through them away after less then 2 weeks. The Asolo have in my opinion the best grip of boot out there, and if you know your size you can order them through Sierra Trading Post extremely cheap, ($185 retail, STP price of $145 and 20% off coupon always available).
