[pct-l] Re:Sandals

[freehueco at yahoo.com (Michael Deitchman)]

 I have always worn Tevas. Chacos don't fit my feet,
and that's the primary concern. Durability is not much
of an issue, as I have gotten as many as 1200 miles of
walking out of one pair (Terradactyls, but my current
pair of Cross Terras have almost that much use in
them).

 As for socks, the most durable ones I've used are
Early Winters' 1000 Mile Socks (I'm not sure if they
are still selling these). 

 Bottom line: go with what fits you!
