So in the last few days my feet have swollen up! I was doing just fine with the boots I started with and then... POOF! My feet are visibly swollen in the morning and at night. My little toes are all puffed up and pink! I could only walk about 5mi in the boots I started with before I was in a decent amount of pain; I had to stop, take my shoes off, and elevate my feet once an hour or so to keep the pain down. Luckily, when we got to VA624 we stopped at Four Pines Hostel and what was in the hiker box?! A pair of trail runners that are a size bigger than my boots! I walked in them for two days to get me to Daleville, VA. I like them okay and should be able to wear them until they blow out. Plus, you've got to love the price-FREE!
Lexi- I still would like to hold off on you sending my spare boots. When we get to the Shenandoah we are probably going to aqua blaze (take a canoe on the river for a week instead of hiking), so I won't want/need them until around the 1,000mi mark. Thank you doll, your support and flexibility is greatly appreciated!
Karissa- I sent my old hiking boots home, they are yours if you want them, little sis! Oh, but you are going to have to put new insoles in them ;)
