> Hey there PCT hiking women...I need HELP!  After two seasons of major
> foot pain, loosing all toe nails but one, trying Super Feet, etc., etc.
> I am giving up on my Vasque Clarion GTX.  I spoke w/a Vasque rep. and
> she suggested I try another boot or another Vasque w/a different last.
> Well, after a lot of looking, reading, etc. I am seriously considering a
> Lowa boot.  More specifically I'm considering Lady Tanark, Lady Scout
> and Lady Baffin. I usually carry about 35 pds. and am on the trail 2 to
> 6 days (hope to do more miles in the future).  Can anyone give me some
> feedback on the above. Please, no need to try to convince me into using
> trail/tennis shoes...not for me for misc. reasons. Thanks anyway.  Other
> than that, all feedback greatly appreciated.  Thanks,
