[pct-l] Trail runners vs hiking boots

[Douglas Tow]

Good morning!

I used my ASIC trail runners for two section-hiking seasons, and my feet
got pretty beat up, particularly blistering on the balls of my feet.  I am
trying out Merill Moab Mid Ventilators, which only come in 5 ounces heavier
per shoe than my trail runners (I wear a size 15 to hike).  Word of
caution:  The Merill Moab comes in a waterproof version, too, which I
rejected for lack of ventilation and problematic use through forded streams.
