[pct-l] Cheap Shoes was New Balance 804's

[Slyatpct@aol.com (Slyatpct@aol.com)]

For months I've been searching the web for discounted New Balance or Merrell 
trail shoes to no avail.  I finally found something in the price range I was 
looking for.  The  Hi-Tec Remote Low's looked good on the website and at $34 
a pair I went ahead a ordered a pair.  After trying them on a weekend hike I 
impressed enough and ordered two more pair and appartently bought them out.  
Not only are they comfortable, they appear to be well made.  Gifted with a 
resiliant ankle the last several thousand miles of hiking in trail shoes, I 
never turned my ankle once using these.  

To give you some idea of fit, I ordered them in a size 12, the same size as 
my Merrells and fit fine, but in which NB's appear a half size small.

The website also has bargins in other brands including the Montrail Vitesse, 
the shoe Brian so highly reccomends. (search under running and fitness, trail 
runners)
