When I first started upping my mileage for trips, I used a pair of Solomon XA Pro 3Ds. They are very airy running shoes, and dried out in about an hour of hiking. But now I've switched to Merrell Moab ventilators (with a much better Vibram sole), and while it is very ventilated, the leather makes it takes longer to dry.

So for those trips now where I;ll cross rivers (lots in the Cascades) I've taken to bringing a pair of Croc knockoffs. They have made camp very comfortable, too. I'll lug the 5 ounces or whatever they weight now every trip for sure. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
