[pct-l] Trail runners vs hiking boots

[Nikki Eddy]

Thanks for the feedback everybody. I appreciate it...I was all set to go with light/roomy/comfy as I've seen recommended through what I've read and researched, but then I read that the average PCT hiker carries only 20lbs?! I read it on REI somewhere in the footwear info I think...anyway, thanks for giving it to me straight from the source! :-)

I'd prefer the lighter weight option, and I have relatively strong legs, ankles, etc.
