[pct-l] Trail running shoes

[catrarunner at yahoo.com (Catra Corbett)]

Last year while on the JMT Yo Yo.  I saw many hikers in Trail shoes.  Saw hardly any boots.
I would suggest Montrail Highline or the Wasatch.  They are awesome and sturdy.  I use those models in the more burly 100's I run.
I always where my 100 race shoes bigger 1/2 size.  My street shoe are 7 or 7.5.  I always wear size 8 in my trail shoes and 8.5 for hundreds.  
I was know as the blister queen back in my first few ultras.  I use elastikon and benzion when taping.  Fixing your Feet is an awesome book that talks all about foot care.
The latest edition even has a picture of me taping my feet getting ready for a solo 100 mile in Yosemite where at mile 57  I climbed a 5 pitch route called Nutcracker.  Then finished the rest of my 100.  I wanted to be the first person to run 100 miles and do a rock climb in the middle..
 
I love life....
