[pct-l] footwear, blisters

[Jim Keener ( J J )]

Greetings,

If you're an inveterate reader of PCT hiker journals, you may have noticed that *many* hikers have bad blisters when they arrive at Warner Springs. Most of these are experienced, aware people. 

Without any expertise, I'm going to guess that several phenomena contribute to this:
 - heat (usually)
 - daily hiking with minimal recovery time
 - the great unknown

In the words of a famous philosopher: "YMMV". 

Walk well,
J J
