Gershon, thanks for your very helpful response.
I hear where other people are coming from in regards to the trail shoes but i am interested in the boots and I am happy to hear that you don't think it will be a problem. Do you suggest a certain style sock to go along with the boots? Should I be making sure that my socks go all the way up the length of the boots? I saw these under armor socks meant for hiking in the heat, do you think I might need those?
