[pct-l] Footwear again

[patrick griffith]

Hi All,
The planning for 2013 is coming along nicely, and I'm counting the days before Kick Off! I recently bought Yogi's guide which I'm finding extremely useful, but it has raised an old question for me regarding footwear and i'd like some opinions. Several PCTers mentioned in Yoggi's book wear running shoes, as in not trail runners or light boots but running shoes,as in what I personally use when i'm running marathons etc. I have a make/model and insole combo that are perfect for me and I never get blisters (although obviously i understand that trail conditions are different to roads), would you all advise using this setup on trail and avoiding trail runners and boots completely? will running shoes survive the ruggedness of the PCT? I am extremely tempted to give them a go!
