Salomon, mon!

My feet were in bad shape after Doe Mountain so I headed over to  a place called The Hike House in search of alternate hiking shoes.  I can tell instantly whether a shoe is going to work for me.  It has to be very padded, especially around the metatarsal area.  I tried on several pairs and settled on Salomon XT Wings 2.

It’s like walking on a mattress and my sore feet felt like they were getting a massage.  So, my plan is to hike in MBTs and spend the rest of the day in these groovy  shoes.  They don’t have regular shoe laces but instead “cable” shoe  laces that you pull tight then choke off with a little plastic contraption.
