[pct-l] Recommendation for PCT thru-hiking shoe (to replace Inov-8 Roclite 315's)

[walt Durling]

Ditto the 295s!  At least the "older" green style.  Lightweight, rugged sticky rubber soles, wide toe box, highly breathable and quick drying, and comfortable day after day.  Don't know about the updates blue version.
