These boots were made for walkin'

My new smart wool socks. Don't worry, I have enough so they won't match. They are $16.50/pair, but keeping your feet comfy and healthy is really important for a 400 mile trek. I've been wearing my hiking shoes for the past few weeks to help break them in. I opted for shoes instead of boots because it is going to be really hot, and I have pretty strong ankles and don't need the extra support. I'll also be buying a pair of crocs to wear at the end of each day. They are leightweight and will allow my feet to dry out and breathe.
