bill s and m0rpheu5111,

thanks for the suggestions. i'm from maine and actually plan on hiking the 100-mile wilderness in about 2 months as a way of testing my gear.
pertaining to the shoes, i have talked to 3-4 employees at my local outfitter (ll beans) and they have all suggested the cresta hiking boots. they say, although heavy, they are one of the most comfortable boots out there. they said trail runners weren't a good idea because of the pounding my feet will take from the trail and that i need one w/ a sturdy sole. have you or anyone you've known had success w/ trail runners?
