[pct-l] What are the Best Shoes for the PCT?

[Deborah Leader]

I have started preparing for the 2013 thru-hike of the PCT. I have been on
a few major, 8 hour, strenuous day hikes and I have to say, my feet are
already throbbing. I think I may have even gotten a blister today hiking
the East Questa Ridge in San Luis Obispo County that was very up and down
some very steep inclines. I found that hiking up-trail I was fine, but
hiking down-trail, my toes were pounding into the tips of my shoes. Any
suggestions on which shoes are best?

Thanks,
