[pct-l] Re:Sandals

Off the what sandal.  The good ones I tried on couldn't fit my strange feet.

I wore and carried sandals thru the Sierras.  I didn't want the weight, but
when it was time to cross a stream.............................just keep
walking..............No shoes on. Shoes off...................Freedom
....................I saved 10 minutes.  That's half a mile.

Oh, what sandals are good, the lightest weight, with a well positioned back
strap?
