Getting out of your boots to let them air ... and to give your feet a break
is essential. I was going to take water shoes or an old pair of mocs in '04
when I stumbled across a pair of PACMOCs by Tecnica at my local REI. They
are light, have a ridged soal and breathable leather uppers. They are
designed to collapse and snap together (soles out) for packing and include a
nylon sack to keep everything else in your pack clean and dry ... perhaps my
best single purchase for '04. Do a google on pacmoc and you will several
models, I chose a breathable/perforated, but there are others ... the bonus
was they were brandable as well.

Subject: [Philmont]: what to wear around camp when not hiking
When I went on my first trek, I was a maniac in terms of saving weight. I
only wore my hiking boots, and had nothing to wear when we reached the
campsite for that night. In addition to resulting in really smelly feet,
having only the boots I hiked in for the night meant that my feet also
stayed uncomfortable until I turned in to sleep. What is Phimont's policy
on bringing sandals? I am a big sandal person because of the lighter
weight, and find that I get all the support that I would from a pair of
sneakers, and have even played tennis in them (the sandals). I also
remember our ranger hiking around in them while he was with us (but probably
won't attempt to recreate that)!
