[pct-l] Hiking shoes & Inserts???

[Doug Carlson]

I am missing the picture here.  How do you lace up insoles/inserts?  In the
past I  have carried a 2nd pair of inserts and when doing river crossings I
slip the insoles into a pair of socks that need washing anyway and pull
those on for "waders."

When you have numerous crossing I just get my feet wet, like in the Gila
Wilderness, NM.

On wet days, like after a stream crossing, I use the inserts as a set of
sandals. It takes about a minute to lace them up, maybe another to get them
on. Only the extra 3.5mm cord is extra weight, maybe 2oz, soaking wet.
	My thoughts only . . .

In my limited experience I discard the stock insoles and use just a Spenco
flat neoprene-like insole. It has a little cushioning and lasts almost
forever.  I recall I tried doing without conventional insoles and my custom
orthotics a couple years ago after reading others' experience here. 

Also I go barefoot or flat slippers at home.  We evolved walking barefoot.
