Subject: [pct-l] Boots/shoes and stream crossings

[johnvonhof at comcast.net (John Vonhof)]

>> The guidebook indicates a lot of stream crossings.  My concern is with having wet shoes all the time.  I've been using trail running shoes in the Grand Canyon and the Southern Sierra, and I like them just fine but they don't repel water or dry quickly.

You can always make a small hole or two in the shoe's heel to allow the water to drain. Use a 1/8 inch drill.
