[pct-l] Foot size increase on PCT

[m.karon at comcast.net (Marshall Karon)]

How about those who have hiked the trail multiple times saying something
about this?

Since I now can wear shoes with no discomfort that I couldn't immediately
wear coming off the trail, I expect that an extended long distance hike will
swell my foot (muscles grow). But, I don't expect my foot to get longer,
just wider. But, wider is where I had the trouble in the first place,
especially the toe area. I think it will take about 2 months for this to
happen.

When I hiked the AT my shoe size increased by one size and I wore boots the
entire time. My shoe size has remained one size larger since the AT (1999).
Now I am wondering if my foot could increase in size again on the PCT or did
the AT max my foot out ????????. This foot size increase sure has me
thinking too much I suppose.
