[pct-l] My footwear experiences

[cactus_paul at earthlink.net (Paul)]

My initial shoes for this hike will be NB 476s.
North of Agua Dulce NB 470s.
North of Kennedy Meadows NB 476s.
North of Castella NB 470s.
North of Snoqualmie NB 609s.

	I wear the same shoe size hiking or not.  I get about a third size
increase in length if I hike for more than eight days, but will reduce to
normal in two days of inactivity.  The width will not noticeably increase.
The height will increase the most and causes me to adjust the lacings after
three days of continuous hiking.  I wear a 9 1/2 4E.

The PEDestrian

PS.  In 2000 there was somebody taking pictures of feet that went by the
trail name "foot fetish".  If anyone knows where those photos ended up
please email me.  It would be strange indeed to see PCT hikers featured on
some porn site.  :)
