[pct-l] How many pairs of shoes/ boots do you need

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

You'll need about 9 pair if you buy them all in advance and 5 pair if  
you buy them after the first pair have proven their worth (or lack  
of) on the trail.

But seriously, it takes around 5 pairs of trail runners to do the  
whole trail if you can get the sizing right.
