Re: [Philmont]: Camp Shoes - Sandals not worth the risk of foot injury

I can't believe this thread is still going!!!! We seem to love to analyze
things to death. A comment on boot failure. You won't see many. What you may
see is a foot failure with a blister or some other foot problem that will make
it impossible to walk in your boots. I have been following the journals of
some Appalachian Trail thru hikers, and there are always one or two that had to
resort to their second set of shoes because their feet simply could not
handle their boots any more.
