New Boots for Mr. DeVoe

May 18, 2009 — 7:01 pm

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.
