[pct-l] Altra shoes

[CClark]

Hi Shroomer
Altras no doubt work well for a lot of hikers.  They aren't
the best choice for everyone, though.  My doc thinks I could get foot
injuries from wearing them, because my hamstrings are tight (from past
overuse injuries).  
 
The doc explained that the way zero-drop shoes work is
counter-intuitive.  You would think, due to the lower heel, they'd
take pressure off of the balls of the feet.  I'm looking for that, because
that's where I get sore and get huge blisters underneath my calluses.  
 But apparently, zero-drop shoes make our foot roll differently, so they
end up forcing us to actually hike more on our toes than we did in the first
place.
