Footwear

Here is what I wear on my feet while hiking... Asics Trail Runners with lightweight gaiters to keep the rocks and stickers out of my shoes. I also have a pair of very lightweight sandals to wear in camp and for river crossings.  It is very basic but works well for me. I have two pair of socks: one to wear and one that is hanging on my pack drying out for the next day! I expect to wear out 5 pairs of shoes, three pairs of gaiters, and a dozen pairs of socks. Keep calm and hike on!
