[pct-l] re: Elite on the trail.

[jdrows at comcast.net (jdrows@comcast.net)]

Well ventilated is good and maybe . . . not so good.

While the desert heat can be merciless, the fine sand that filters in through well-ventilated shoes can cause more damage and discomfort.

I used the very well ventilated Montrail (?) Masai from Campo to Warner Springs this year and threw them away because I was getting too much fine particulate friction between the toes and had to use all the foam rubber tubes I had to keep the toes from making contact with each other.  I had on Wright (?) socks and Smartwool hikers.

Jim K is right, NB 905s are great (if you can find them).
