[pct-l] foot ware

HI,
 
A couple of weeks ago, in the North Cascades, I met Freebird, who has since hit the Canadian border and is by now probably
lying on a beach in Hawaii.  This was his 3d thru-hike.  He was wearing Tivas with socks, said he'd worn them continually since leaving 
Mexico--including through the snow in the Sierras.  I'm considering doing the hike next year and wonder if perhaps Keen sandals might be 
appropriate for desert travel in Southern California.  Any likely problems with thorns, things like that?

I think maybe leather hiking boots for the Sierras and then light trail runners for the rest of the way.  How does that sound?
