Hey guys ,
I am going to do a nice 50 miler AT section-hike in the Laurel Falls area on October 21-24/25. And after checking out my classic, tried-and-true Merrell Moab Mid Wide Width Waterproof (mouthfull..) boots, somewhat unusual feelings of unease ensues. I've got fairly large feet- I'm a 13. And I was wondering if I should make the switch to wearing my normal sneakers (Brooks Ravenna 2's- I'm a runner) on the trail.
I have no knee/leg problems; I'm young and chipper at 29 .
My question is what are the pros/cons of switching to my sneakers for this hike? Also, what sort of socks should I wear?
Thanks all,
Maddox
