[pct-l] Boots

[Dan C. aka Thumper]

I like Teva's Riva Mid eVent boot.  It is lite, soft leather and, with the Vibram sole, it wears well.  My size 9.5s weigh in at 23ozs for the pair and is only 2 oz more than the similar Riva eVent shoe (not a mid).  MSRP is around $150 but I've found them closer to $110 via the web.  Below are some links.

Good morning!

I would like to hear from thru or section hikers who opted for boots vs.
shoes for any portion of their hike, and would do so again, and why.

Thank you,

Doug
