[pct-l] Question regarding boots and feet.

[darkbodhi at yahoo.com (shane wohlken)]

Hi all,

I'm curious as to how soon into the trail during
a thru-hike to expect my boots to become too
tight and require an exchange for larger boots. 
In other words, can I expect to replace my boots
near the half-way point, 500 miles in, 200 miles
in?  I realize that this is a hard question to
answer since everyone's feet are different, but I
was wondering if there was an average distance
where the boot exchange occurs (assuming it
occurs at all)?  And in a related (and just as
difficult to answer) question, what is the
average size difference a thru-hiker can expect
in their feet?  Do you tend to go up 1/2, 1, or 2
boot sizes when it's all said and done?

Thanks,

Shane
