[pct-l] Shoes



OK gang,

I'm now able to wear two shoes again (the doctors will NOT be 
re-breaking my left leg, as previously predicted). So now I have a few 
pair of shoes with a very new left foot and a very worn out right foot. 
I've been hiking for a couple of years in NB 870's and need some new 
shoes. What's the latest on PCT worthy trail shoes? No boot info please 
- my thru hike base weight is 9.5 lb. I'm guessing there's a newish NB 
type of highly breathable top/pretty solid sole type of shoe, and would 
love to get some help getting up to speed on what's out there these days.

Also, even though I'm still in a leg brace (the ankle articulates and I 
can get my trail runner over it), I'll be hiking the Barrel Springs - 
Warner Springs section this weekend -rain or no rain. It's a flat enough 
section for me to get through in my present state. I'll still be in a 
leg brace at Trailfest though - bummer.

Thanks in advance for any help and tips.
