[pct-l] Good shoes

[Bill Burge]

I'm torn both ways. I love boots but I recognize the pluses of trail  
runners.

I also had a problem with sore feet from trail 'irregularities'.

Look for trail runners with "rock plates" or forefoot protection or  
other wording like that.

UKGear Desert shoe is an example and Inov-8 had a version, and some  
models of better known shoes like New Balance.
