[pct-l] Boots! And thx

 If you stay on trail, trail runners are fine. They don't hold up to cross country travel very well, though.

The REI person is very wrong. Everyone is different, but over 80% of PCT thru-hikers use trail runners, for a reason.

Thank you all for the inspirational words about financing the thru hike. I have lots to ponder on!

Another question for you all...
I just visited an REI store doing research. The shoe person contradicted Yogi about the type of shoe usually worn on tue PCT. She insisted on a sturdy boot to hike and not trailrunners..saying that anything less would trash your feet even if going ultralight. From what I recall of Yogi's book...most wear trailrunners.

What is your opinion? Advice?
