New Boots for Mr. DeVoe

May 18, 2009

After 624 miles it is finally time for new hiking boots. For the last
50 miles the heels have really been digging into my feet. This picture
hurt a lot more than it looks. I even hiked a day in my Crocs to help
them heal up. I was hoping to go through only 3 pairs of shoes for
this trip and it looks like I’m on schedule.
