On the lookout for the best boots for thru-hiking?
We asked someone who hiked all 2,653 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail for her pick.
I did the thing.

This feels like the biggest accomplishment of my life.
Shoutout to the amazing trail community and everyone who has provided support along the way.
Yall are the best.

…
Of course, the good-hearted hikers who kept Rogers company werent her only support system.
First, she tested a pair of hiking boots that are well-loved in the thru-hiking community.
Realizing she needed a replacement, she decided to try something different.

Too heavy and bulky, she says.
So I opted for apair of trail runners instead.
First, do your very best to lighten your load.

Second, dont leave buying your trail shoes until the very last moment.
Give yourself time to research and test.
Overall, shoes are one of the most important gear choices.

Theres nothing worse than unhappy feet.
