[pct-l] Vibram 5 fingers; keeping feet dry

[Diane at Santa Barbara Hikes dot com]

I'm interested to hear how the VFFs work for you. One one level I can  
see how it's possible the separate toes might have prevented some of  
the blisters I had. But on another level, since I think shoes are  
evil in the way they tend to injure me, all I can think of is how  
there are so many more places for them to come in contact with my  
feet and cause even more blisters.

I have seen people backpacking in all kinds of footwear. Chacos, flip- 
flops, Crocs, barefoot. I have worn boots and trail runners and both  
of these have injured me so I am not dogmatic about hiking footwear.  
I think anything is worth a try. Please provide a report and let us  
know how they worked.
