My wife and I will be starting our NOBO AT thru hike in early March of 2017. Over the years I’ve come to love hiking in trail runners, but I’m leery about wearing them in possible snow and slush conditions. Being from northern Michigan, I’ve spent days in the woods with freezing wet feet and it was miserable if not downright dangerous. With that in mind, we’re considering starting the hike with lightweight hikers and wearing them until they’re worn out or we’re past Mount Rogers, whichever comes first.
Opinions?
