[pct-l] PCT Footwear

[dougwalsh64@hotmail.com (doug walsh)]

Hi folks,

the most interesting shoe i've come across in my search is the Montrail 
Ultra II.  haven't tried it yet but it claims to provide excellent support 
AND breathability (quick drying) with no gore-tex in a low-cut lightweight 
design.  this would make it a great shoe for entire pct - heat in desert, 
stream crossings and kick-stepping in sierra, support for moderate loads, 
etc.

here's what you'll find on montrail.com:

"Ideal for hikers who want a low-cut, but highly trail worthy shoe for 
moderate backpacking and day hiking.  Breathable and very supportive uppers 
on the secure TerraFlex platform combines the advantages of boot technology 
under your feet with durable lightweight upper materials for a low-cut shoe 
that performs like the heavy-weight boots of a decade ago."

sounds perfect.  anyone tried this shoe?
