[pct-l] swollen feet

[mellowmarky at cox.net (Mark Wright)]

I heard that long distance hikers' feet tend to swell. This is of some  
concern to me because I was planning on buying a new pair of boots that  
I could break in before starting my hike and then having them mailed to  
me if my current pair eventually fall apart. This may not work so well  
if my feet get bigger. So I was wondering if anybody has anything to  
say about this. Would proper foot care prevent this or is this just  
what happens when you hike 20 miles a day for several months? Or is the  
info I got just plain wrong?


Thanks,
Mark
