Most people have already passed on their genes before they are in need of
serious health care :-)

Back on topic. My standard footwear for all my walking here in the UK is
Merrel Chameleon shoes and Sealskinz waterproof socks. For me the SealSkinz
work well keeping my feet dry in the wettest conditions, but they are not to
everybodys liking. When I walk the PCT  NoBo in 2007 I am planning to start
with trail runners and light cotton socks through California and into
Oregan, but change over to my favourite Merrels and SealSkinzs to deal with
the potential for serious rain through Washington in late Septemeber.
I am open to suggestions on my ideas, in particular the use of SealSkinz.
Does anybody use SealSkinz?

Thanks
