When Jess goes to the art store near Fenway, I go to REI and look around. I wander around aimlessly because I don't usually ever buy anything there (hello, Campmor) and hate having to carry hiking junk on the "T". However, I got looking at shoes the other day. My problem is severalfold: a) I have an ankle problem; it hurts when I wear high topped shoes but I also have a sprain. B) I like wearing my low top trail shoes. C) I would much rather hike in sandals, but D) I'm worried about ticks. If I post, "I'm in the mood for new shoes..." I'll get a million random responses. I'm not necessarily in the mood to buy new shoes anyway. I am however, curious to find out what combination of shoes and or shoes/gaiters people wear for say a 15-20 mile hike with possible bushwhacking during the summerish months (May-Oct). Remember, you can vote for more than one thing in the poll and also, sandals is not a "joke" option. See Eric at Flat Mountain Pond for evidence.
For anyone that doesn't know, "sandally shoes" are these. El-Bagr wore them when we went up the arrow slide.
Give some reasons why you wear them, what they do for you etc.
