running shoes.

-not heavy
-not leather
-dry fast
-come off quick
-not clunky

in my opinion there is no need to ever wear leather hiking boots, regardless of what trail you are doing.

barefoot is even better, but you need to get your feet used to it. did Frenchman's Cap hike last year, when we got to the sodden loddens, took off running shoes and went barefoot to the first hut. passed numerous parties in leather boots trying not to get their feet wet!! they arrived at the hut 4 hrs later, with soaken wet, heavy, muddy, leather boots. while we were relaxing checking out the lake in dry warm running shoes.
