What do you do for shoe sizing for long hikes. Do you size up 1/2" to 1" at the start and use more socks or extra footbed or you you size up along the hike, Thanks all

If your pack weight is above 30 lbs most of the time then go 1/2 size larger than street shoes B/C your feet WILL spread out. Blisters between Each toe on a 100 mile AT hike taught me that in the '80s. :(

Strangely it only hurt when I stopped walking so being in camp was quite uncomfortable.
