      Don't be too hard on yourself,, everyone has issues now and again...at least yours is legitimate..Who wants to walk a marathon with their feet hurting and shoes falling off...Tip for dryer feet take the insoles out before crossing streams..more time but...I so enjoy your videos .. blessings and safe trails

    Yeah, some hikers are reporting issues with Altra longevity in both uppers and soles. You try Topos of you like that wife your box. I've got narrow feet and all testing Salomon Thundercross and Saucony Peregrine 14, both of which have rock plates to blunt the sharpest rocks. I might add Brooks Cascadia to the mix in August. Pain in the feet is really tough, there's no way to avoid it without entirely stopping for a bit and that's no guarantee.

    Ice needles in late June 🫣 Shoes are such an individual thing. I have had such good luck with Merrell Moabs over the years. Love the Vibram soles. Nary a blister, bruise, or sprain. Many styles to choose from. 'Course I'm not a thru-hiker. I'll take my emotions raw. 🌞

    Ever tried Topos instead of Altras? They seem to be more durable these days.
    Do you know the Heel to Toe Drop of your actual shoe-model? Cause it's not recommended to change to a model with an extreme different drop while on trail (for example from a zero Dropbox Altra to a high drop Hoka)

    • @TravelWritePaint
      @TravelWritePaint  Před měsícem +1

      Thank you for the advice! We’re at zero drop with the Altras but I think the Topos are a good move.

    TOPOs are the way to go if you prefer Altras. They last longer but still retain the toebox of Altra.
    However, if you want to expand out to a totally different style shoe, the I highly recommend HOKA Speedgoats...great cushion, the help move your foot forward when walking, carry heavy weights very well, and adapt well to various conditions.
    If so, I use the Green Super Feet insoles...have the employees cut them for you to be sure the fit is correct.
    HOKA Speedgoat 5 shoes are on sale now...$125.00
    Go larger size too...
    Oh well,....take care.

    • @michel.h_cf99

      I loved my Speedgoat 5 last year, almost fly the uphills 😊 (but go for the 5, the new 6 is quite different)

    • @carmenwilliams-omotv5421

      @michel.h_cf99 once I went HOKA, I have never looked back. ALL foot issues went away.

      @michel.h_cf99 Před měsícem +3

      ​​@@carmenwilliams-omotv5421I once changed to Brooks Cascadia, but get quick back to Hooka. Actually to the Mafate Speed 4, quite similar to the Speedgoat, but the vibram-sole is more durable.

    Try Hoka's I've had three pair of Speedgoat's and I love them. However, all the cool kids are trying Topo's.

  • @sharamckinney575
    @sharamckinney575 Před měsícem +1

    I know it’s kinda……actually really nasty, but some hikers will sleep with their socks in their sleeping bags to dry them out! I’m not sure I could, but it’s an interesting idea 😂

  • @kimnwieboldt3147
    @kimnwieboldt3147 Před měsícem +3

    I have a few random questions, hoping you have time to answer them. How long did it take to prepare for the trail(getting gear together and saving money)? How do you manage your money while hiking(have you experienced unexpected expenses and could that cause a problem down the road for your hike)? What date did you start hiking the trail(your videos start on day 45).

    • @kimnwieboldt3147
      @kimnwieboldt3147 Před měsícem +1

      I see I missed your day 45 video where you explain when you started the PCT.

    Don't know if they'd work for you, but I got 1100 miles each on two sets of Merrill Moab Ventilators. Your mileage may vary, but ask around with other hikers to see if you can do better than those Ultras. Thanks for sharing your hike.

  • @carl13579
    @carl13579 Před měsícem +1

    I think the foam collapses in the Altras and does so nonuniformly so that your foot is no longer flat in the shoe. This is a new problem. I have very wide feet, so I'm not sure what else I can switch to.

    • @TravelWritePaint
      @TravelWritePaint  Před měsícem

      I’ve heard Topo is a good switch cause they offer such a wide toe box. We shall see! Thanks for watching!

    Wet socks make for soft skin, I think dirty socks act like sandpaper rubbing the skin raw. I hope you all have figured it out soon. Hike~~On~~>

    I didn't like Altras either...I tried 3 brands my last hike, Altras, Hokas & Brooks & I liked Brooks the best...also you may want to try & time some fresh shoes for the lava flows before Big Lake Youth Camp...you guys are younger but that lava destroyed me. I had lots of smoke too at the time, you all may need mask as you get into WA

    Other hikers are also complaining about shoes/feet issues. The sierras are hard on the feet, but you're over the hardest parts!
