I've read a few hundred posts about trail runners vs. boots, GTX vs. fast-drying and winter layering systems. However, I haven't been able to find much about the best shoes to wear for a late Feb start. Do people start off in boots and then switch to trail runners after it warms up or do you start off in trail runners but wear socks like sealskinz? I know everybody is different and go with what ever is most comfortable but I'm just curious what the "norm" is in late Feb early March.
Thanks
