[pct-l] Shoes for the Sierras

[mdchurch at gmail.com (Matt Church)]

I just got the Vasque Velocity--planning to use it for my PCT attempt
this year.  Heard positive things from others who wear the same shoe. 
Haven't trail tested it yet but it felt comfortable, light, and sturdy
while wearing around the store.

Cheers,
Matt

At this point I would be interested in hearing some pros and cons.   I like New Balance 906s in the lower elevations and am looking for a shoe that has a little more traction and can be used with lightweight crampons or instep crampons for highter up.
